Karl presented ch. 3 of Cooper’s textbook (cognitive models for multicolumn addition and subtraction) on Oct. 17. Those slides and the slides for our broader discussion of cognitive modeling (we talked about Marr’s levels of analysis and ACT-R) are available here:

There won’t be a LaLoCo this Thursday, but we’ll be meeting next Thursday Oct. 17th when we’ll be talking about chapter 3 from Modelling High-Level Cognitive Processes.

The schedule of the meetings for the quarter is as follows (please note the exact dates):

• Oct. 17 (Meeting 2 …

The first LaLoCo meeting of the quarter will be Thursday, Oct. 3 12-1pm in Stevenson 217.

In the first meeting I will be presenting the first two chapters of Modeling High-Level Cognitive Processes.

LaLoCo will meet more or less weekly in the fall 2013 quarter. The meetings will take place on Thursdays, 12pm—1pm, Meeting & Analysis room (Stevenson 217).

Karl and Adrian are going to work through and present the textbook Modelling High-Level Cognitive Processes, by Richard P. Cooper (with contributions from Peter …

The final 4 sets of intro-to-Haskell lecture notes and the associated Haskell code files are now available. Just as before, the ghci commands are numbered in the same way in the pdf and the corresponding hs files for ease of reference:

• intro-to-haskell8.pdf, intro-to-haskell8.hs: modules (importing them, importing functions …

The next 4 sets of lecture notes and the associated Haskell code files are now available. Just as before, the ghci commands are numbered in the same way in the pdf and the corresponding hs files for ease of reference:

• intro-to-haskell4.pdf, intro-to-haskell4.hs: recursion and thinking recursively
• intro-to-haskell5.pdf …

Semantics 3 this coming fall (upper div. undergraduate course, UCSC Linguistics) will be dedicated to introducing computational formal semantics with Haskell.

The syllabus is available here: Sem 3 syllabus. It contains a general description of the course, goals and motivation, a tentative outline, general instructions about how to get Haskell …

Given the importance of being able to estimate general random-effect structures for mixed-effects models (see this paper by Barr, Levy, Scheepers & Tily, for example), I put together a tutorial on how to estimate such models in R and JAGS.

This is easy to do for mixed-effects linear models in R …

Dan Lassiter and in all likelihood Noah Goodman will come down from Stanford for an extensive Church tutorial on Monday, June 10, 11 am—3 pm (with a break for lunch at some point). We will meet in the Cave — please note the change of venue. If you want/have …

Plan for the June 4 (11 am-12 pm) meeting: parsing a larger fragment of English, including checking for agreement features, subcat lists etc., but without movement (again, based primarily on ch. 9 of the “Computational Semantics” textbook). Please download the files below and place them in the same folder:
