    Robots + children The nature of cognition is at the center of this research project. In particular, our research attempts to understand the cognitive mechanism of language acquisition using computational models. However, the application of these models for understanding these mechanism must be against theories within cognitive science. Cognitive science...

    Presentation notes pt.2 For this week I was working on my presentation for the KU symposium on Saturday (April 28th, 2018). I thought it would be a idea to try and practice my presentation with the SANLAB and some of my friends. Though, I find that one can keep working...

    Presentation notes pt.1 The 2018 KU symposium is in two weeks, so I decided to start outlining my presentation. I only have 10 minutes to talk, so again the goal is to make the research as simple and as profound as possible. You know, high-level messaging through simple clean digestible...

    Working on [through] something still This week I read Teleological and referential understanding of action in infancy (Csibra, G. 2003).

These are formally described as the teleological...

    Haven’t been very productive this week because of classes. Actually think it’s going to be a little harder to concentrate on research and school. I have been trying to read papers and outline some code I want to try writing for Kaldi. But really I have a lot of things...

    STFT In addition to collecting the LTASS information I’m interested in the short-time Fourier transform (STFT). Which, is a Fourier-related transform used to determine the different sections of frequency and phase content in a signal. Basically, we divide the signal into segments of equal lengths and then compute the fast...

    Spring Break This week was spring break, so I’m going to try working on side projects. I have a couple of embedded system projects that I want to try I’m really interested in embedded system. There are a lot of very powerful and portable computing systems than can run any...
