Abstract
All too often work in computational linguistics on the acquisition of conceptual descriptions takes place in isolation from work on concepts in psychology and neural science. We feel this is a mistake as evidence from these related disciplines can provide us with better ways of evaluating our results. In the talk I will present work in CIMEC on using cognitive evidence to evaluate the results of lexical acquisition work - specifically, using feature norms to evaluate the acquisition of features, and using EEG data to evaluate the results of categorization experiments. Joint work with Marco Baroni, Brian Murphy, Eduard Barbu, and Abdulrahman Almuhareb, among others.
