The Computational Cognitive Systems group
We conduct research on adaptive, autonomous and socio-culturally grounded cognitive systems that are able to learn and use language. We apply and develop computational methods, models and frameworks for adaptive machine translation and socio-cognitive multiagent systems.
Main research areas
- Emergence of linguistic and cognitive features and structures
- Learning social interactions
- Translation within and between languages: Learning to Translate
- Knowledge translation and innovation
