Abstract: This talk will provide an overview of the architecture that
underpins modern AI language models including n-gram language models,
word embedding models, and modern transformer models. These models will
be examined for alignment with theories of human language processing.
The talk will also focus on how AI models recreate classical language
processing pipelines associated with computational linguistics and
language processing.
