Following on from the success of last years cake talk series we’re now hoping to set up a regular Wednesday afternoon slot alternating between the ISIS reading group and cake talk presentations. However, for this to succeed we need volunteers who are willing to give informal 20min presentations on their work. It’s a great opportunity to practice your presentation technique and get feedback on your ideas. So if you think this sounds like a good idea then please send an email to Sina or myself and we’ll book you in on a spare Wednesday.

I was fortunate enough to recently attend the Symposium on Language and Robotics in Aveiro, Portugal. Where I was able to present my extended abstract on the idea of ‘Speech Perception as Non-Symbolic Pattern Recognition’. It was a fascinating conference and I was amazed to discover that a whole range of people seemed to agree with some of my more ‘unfashionable’ ideas. Ultimately, the range of ideas flying around left me with the sensation that I had compressed 6 months worth of PhD research into a single weekend. I’m now definitely looking forward to Evolang in March.If anyone is interested my extended abstract can be found here:
