SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sentence Processing Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nLinguistic illusions have provided valuable insights into how we mentally navigate complex representations in memory during language comprehension. Two notable cases involve illusory licensing of agreement and negative polarity items (NPIs)\, where comprehenders fleetingly accept sentences with unlicensed agreement or an unlicensed NPI\, but judge those same sentences as unacceptable after more reflection. Existing accounts have argued that illusions are a consequence of faulty memory access processes\, and make the additional assumption that the encoding of the sentence remains fixed over time. This paper challenges the predictions made by these accounts\, which assume that illusions should generalize to a broader set of structural environments and a wider range of syntactic and semantic phenomena. We show across seven reading-time and acceptability judgment experiments that NPI illusions can be reliably switched ‘‘on” and ‘‘off”\, depending on the amount of time from when the potential licensor is processed until the NPI is encountered. But we also find that the same profile does not extend to agreement illusions. This contrast suggests that the mechanisms responsible for switching the NPI illusion on and off are not shared across all illusions. We argue that the contrast reflects changes over time in the encoding of the semantic/pragmatic representations that can license NPIs. Just as optical illusions have been informative about the visual system\, selective linguistic illusions are informative not only about the nature of the access mechanisms\, but also about the nature of the encoding mechanisms.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral & Experimental Economics (SBEE): The Evolution of Cooperation: The Role of Costly Strategy Adjustments
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nWe study the evolution of cooperation in the indefinitely repeated prisoner's dilemma when it is costly for players to adjust their strategy. Our experimental interface allows subjects to design a comprehensive strategy that then selects actions for them in every period. We conduct lab experiments in which subjects can adjust their strategies during a repeated game but may incur a cost for doing so. We find three main results. First\, subjects learn to cooperate more when adjustments are costless than when they are costly. Second\, subjects make more adjustments to their strategies when adjustments are costless\, but they still make adjustments even when they are costly. Finally\, we find that cooperative strategies emerge over time when adjustments are costless but not when adjustments are costly. These results highlight that within-game experimentation and learning are critical to the rise of cooperative behavior. We provide simulations based on an evolutionary algorithm to support these results.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Colloquium Film Screening. Encounter Point
DESCRIPTION:Just when the world is losing hope about the possibility of resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict comes Encounter Point. Created by a Palestinian\, Israeli\, North and South American team\, Encounter Point moves beyond sensational and dogmatic imagery to tell the story of an Israeli settler\, a Palestinian ex-prisoner\, a bereaved Israeli mother and a wounded Palestinian bereaved brother who risk their safety and public standing to press for an end to the conflict. They are at the vanguard of a movement to push Palestinian and Israeli societies to a tipping point\, forging a new consensus for nonviolence and peace. Perhaps years from now\, their actions will be recognized as a catalyst for constructive change in the region. Encounter Point is a film about hope\, true courage and implicitly about the silence of journalists and politicians who pay little attention to vital grassroots peace efforts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Robocalypse Now?: Technology and the Future of Work
DESCRIPTION:Talk summary: The process of technological displacement of workers began in the automobile industry in the 1960’s\, and with the rise of connectivity and AI it is accelerating rapidly. For example\, it may be no surprise\, given what’s happened in the automobile industry\, that the world’s first farm that is completely run by robots has just opened in Japan\; or that a new robot is available for the construction industry that can lay bricks three times faster than a human. This kind of displacement of manual labor happened in previous industrial revolutions as well. More surprising\, however\, is the breadth of jobs that can be replaced by intelligent automation\; it isn’t just manual labor that’s being replaced: even writers\, for instance\, are being displaced by computer software. In January\, 2016\, “the Associated Press (AP) revealed that [a software program called] Wordsmith has been rolling out content since July 2014 without any human intervention.” This Wordsmith software has been generating 1000 stories per month\, which is “14 times more than the previous manual output of AP's reporters and editors.” In terms of sheer productivity\, human writers cannot keep up with computers and robots.  So what can we do as a society to compensate for technological unemployment\, and to prevent the poverty\, dislocation\, and even violence that might follow\, as it has in past industrial revolutions?  My talk will present both the problems and possible short and longterm solutions to them.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Kevin LaGrandeur is Professor at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT)\, specializing in technology and culture.  He is also a Fellow of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technology\, an international think tank\, and a co-founder of the NY Posthuman Research Group and of the Visual Pathways Technology Consortium (for researching tech apps for the blind).  Dr. LaGrandeur has written many articles and conference presentations on digital culture\; on Artificial Intelligence and ethics\; and on literature and science.  His publications have appeared in journals such as Computers & Texts\, Computers and the Humanities\, and Science Fiction Studies\; in books such as Eloquent Images: Word and Image in the Age of New Media and Beyond Artificial Intelligence: The Disappearing Human-Machine Divide\, which contains his essay\, ‘Emotion\, Artificial Intelligence\, and Ethics.’  He has also published on Artificial Intelligence\, society\, and ethics in popular publications such as USA Today and United Press International (UPI).  His book Artificial Slaves (Routledge\, 2013)\, about the premodern cultural history of Artificial Intelligence and its foreshadowing of today’s technology\, was Awarded a 2014 Science Fiction and Technoculture Studies Prize.  In April\, 2017\, his latest book\, co-edited with James Hughes\, was published.  About the future of AI’s displacement of human workers and how to meet this challenge\, it is titled Surviving the Machine Age: Intelligent Technology and the Transformation of Human Work.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.\n\nCo-sponsors: Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy Program\, Ford School of Public Policy\, School of Information (UMSI)\, and Michigan Robotics\n\nQuestions? email Caroline Walsh (walshce@umich.edu)\n\nhttp://fordschool.umich.edu/events/2017/robocalypse-now-technology-and-future-work
