Psychology, Computer Science and Neuroscience have a history of shared questions and inter-related advances. Recently, new technology has enabled those fields to move from “toy” small-scale approaches to the study of language learning from raw sensory input and to do so at a large scale that constitutes daily life. The three primary goals of my research are 1) to quantify the statistical regularities in the real world, 2) to examine the underlying computational mechanisms operated on the statistical data, and 3) to apply the findings from basic science to real-world applications. In this talk, I will present several projects in my research lab to show that the advances in human learning and machine learning fields place us at the tipping point for powerful and consequential new insights into mechanisms of (and algorithms for) learning.

Linggle is an English grammar and linguistic search engine developed by the Natural Language Processing Lab of National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. It helps you check word choice, usage and collocations in order to make your writing more natural. The suggested results are from several corpora like Google Web 1T 5-gram, British National Corpus, New York Times Annotated Corpus.

由於漢字數量多、結構複雜，香港學生寫錯別字的情況甚為普遍。進入大學後，學生主要使用電腦輸入文字，手寫中文的機會更大為減少，導致錯別字的問題愈見嚴重。多年來，不少學者已就此問題進行各項研究，而坊間的相關參考專書更是汗牛充楝，不可勝數。然而，上述所論多從傳統的形音義角度出發，較少從文體、語境方面加以深入討論。
有見及此，我們去年申請了香港理工大學「教學發展及語文培訓補助金」(Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant for Language Enhancement Activities, LEG16-19/SS/CBS10)，開展「『專業文體的錯別字糾正』網站」計劃，旨在探討於特定場合或行業語境下之實用文類的錯別字問題，藉以協助學生準確書寫各類職場文書，以恰當、得體的書面語言與外界接觸，完成傳意任務。

撰寫學術論文是大學生必要的經歷。中國語文教學中心是次建構「中文論文寫作教學網站」，旨在在已有的自學教材上，進一步分享撰寫中文論文的心得與要項。有別於一般論文教學網站，本網站總結了中心教員多年來評改學生習作的經驗，並以此為例，分享撰寫論文各個部份、各種細節的竅門與注意事項，期望學生省察論文寫作的過程，並思考其中意義。

香港人講「懶音」的情況愈來愈普遍，如「女仔」說成「呂仔」（n-、l-不分），「過」、「個」不分（gw-、g-不分），「講解」說成「趕解」(-ng、-n不分)，「襪」、「默」不分（-t、-k不分）等等。
為了加強學生對粵語的敏感度，協助學生說出流利的粵語，提升整體的表達能力，我們申請了香港理工大學「教學發展及語文培訓補助金」(Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant for Language Enhancement Activities, LEG16-19/SS/CBS9)，開展「『粵語懶音測試及糾正』網站」計劃。此計劃的目的是協助學生以標準的粵語作日常的交際溝通，減少懶音，以恰當、得體的粵語與外界接觸，完成傳意任務。

I will discuss how co-speech (i.e., speech-accompanying) gestures relate to language and conceptualisation underlying language. I will focus on “representational gestures”, which can depict motion, action, and shape or can indicate locations. I will provide evidence for the following two points. Various aspects of language shape co-speech gestures. Conversely, the way we produce co-speech gestures can shape language. I will discuss these issues in relation to manner and path in motion event descriptions, clause-linkage types in complex event descriptions, and metaphor. I will conclude that gesture and language are parts of a "conceptualisation engine”, which takes advantage of unique strengths of spatio-motoric representation and linguistic representation.

MOOC
The course aims to enable students to master the sounds of Cantonese and conduct basic conservations in Cantonese. It is suitable for learners of the following 3 categories:
(1) People from Hong Kong who may be expatriates, international students, ethnic minorities;
(2) People from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) who may be expatriates;
(3) People from all over the world who may be heritage speakers of Cantonese, plan to study/work in Hong Kong/ the GBA, tourists… etc.
In fact, anyone who is interested in learning Cantonese are welcomed to join this course!

Neuroemergentism, (NM) is a novel framework which has sought to consider language development as involving the organization and reorganization of cognition and its underlying neural substrate. Work to support this framework comes from studies of language and cognitive development. In this talk, I will focus on two separate levels, the sensorimotor plasticity needed to adjust to new input and the cognitive flexibility needed to select between these competing sources of information. This talk will discuss both these levels with regard to the neurocognitive adaptations seen in bilinguals. This will include structural brain differences in monolinguals and bilinguals that vary in the age of second language acquisition. In the second part, of the talk work that has focused on the cognitive flexibility will be presented. This will focus on the adaptations of the basal ganglia and frontostriatal tracts as a gating mechanism crucial for selecting the correct motor response. This includes newer work which links genes associated with dopamine to cognitive and language flexibility in bilinguals. The ways in which sensorimotor plasticity and cognitive flexibility represent accurate but incomplete conceptualizations of the competitive processes involved in language and cognitive processing will be discussed. The talk will conclude with potential future directions using an NM framework.
