Unveiling the Linguistic Experience of One Child!

Imagine you’re compiling a puzzle with just a few scattered pieces. Now, picture these pieces as a small fraction of a child’s linguistic journey. Researchers wanted to see what neural networks, those language-munching machines, could learn from this limited linguistic input. They trained network models with snapshots of one child’s experience, combining sight and language. […]
