Language Acquisition as Learning to Process
Language happens in the here-and-now. If the linguistic input is not processed immediately, nothing can be learned from it. To successfully deal with the continual deluge of linguistic information, the brain must compress and recode the input as rapidly as possible. As a consequence, incoming language incrementally gets recoded into chunks of decreasing granularity, from sounds to constructions and beyond. Thus, units at different levels of linguistic analysis come for free as a consequence of the transient nature of language. The specific units change during development as the child learns to use language. To illustrate, I present results from a recent chunk-based computational model of early syntactic acquisition. I conclude that the immediacy of language processing provides a fundamental constraint on accounts of language acquisition, implying that acquisition involves learning to process, rather than inducing a grammar.

Never-Ending Language Learning
We will never really understand learning until we can build machines that learn many different things, over years, and become better learners over time.
We describe our research to build a Never-Ending Language Learner (NELL) that runs 24 hours per day, forever, learning to read the web. Each day NELL extracts (reads) more facts from the web, into its growing knowledge base of beliefs. Each day NELL also learns to read better than the day before. NELL has been running 24 hours/day for over four years now. The result so far is a collection of 70 million interconnected beliefs (e.g., servedWith(coffee, applePie)), NELL is considering at different levels of confidence, along with millions of learned phrasings, morphological features, and web page structures that NELL uses to extract beliefs from the web. NELL is also learning to reason over its extracted knowledge, and to automatically extend its ontology. Track NELL's progress at http://rtw.ml.cmu.edu, or follow it on Twitter at @CMUNELL.
