Deb Roy: The birth of a word (TED) Video Clips. Duration : 19.88 Mins.


Original website : TED.com www.ted.com About this talk : MIT researcher Deb Roy wanted to understand how his infant son learned language -- so he wired up his house with videocameras to catch every moment (with exceptions) of his son's life, then parsed 90000 hours of home video to watch "gaaaa" slowly turn into "water." Astonishing, data-rich research with deep implications for how we learn. About Deb RoyDeb Roy studies how children learn language, and designs machines that learn to communicate in human-like ways. Currently on sabbatical from MIT Media Lab, he's working with the AI company Bluefin Labs.
