Wanna watch Magdalena Schwarz's and my talk on how language can function as a source of trust at #Protolang6 ? Check it out here! youtube.com/watch?v=IRifHo… Already looking forward to @protolang7 in Düsseldorf!

The fascinating #Protolang6 plenary by @NakedPrimate is also online now, as are the plenaries by Luc Steels, Tetsuro Matsuzawa, Roslyn Frank, and Alexandre Castro-Caldas. And don't forget to submit to #Protolang7: blogs.phil.hhu.de/protolang7/cal…

If you missed out on #Protolang6 in Lisbon, you can now see some of the talks online youtube.com/user/appeellis… (e.g. by @jonasnoelle @Limor_Raviv @symbolicstorage @Nicolas_Fay @Iconiklas and many others). Also, don't forget to submit to #Protolang7 @protolang7 (Deadline: Feb 15)

Lots of great talks happened at #ProtoLang6! Thanks to all of you for tweeting from the conference! Conference site: sites.google.com/view/protolang… General site: protolang.org

@UoE_CLE where have you guys been? 😉 #Protolang6 #Sintra #Lisbon

Hope to see everyone from #Protolang6 there! Don't forget to submit! (And don't start too late, this ain't your average abstract - they are basically micro-papers; see here for nice examples: evolang.org/torun/proceedi…)

The idea is that intelligence is more than just cognitive intelligence and the collection of facts and knowledge. Intelligence is also expressed in our relation with the outside world. #Protolang6

Prof. Ana Margarida Abrantes now, talking about "Cultural Intelligence". This is defined as "an individual's capability to function and manage effectively in culturally diverse situations and settings". It is emotional, social and cultural. #Protolang6 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

To summarize, the potential and promise of artificial intelligence is amazing, but we need to be careful of "power without enough intelligence". See this fascinating conversation with @pmddomingos: #Protolang6 gigaom.com/2017/12/04/voi…

What what the risks of artificial intelligence? First, it can be manipulated (who has the data, who has the technology). Second, it can get out of control (like in this case: independent.co.uk/life-style/gad…) These risks already exist. #Protolang6

Recently, researchers showed that honey bees and zebra fish can be connected via robotic devices: two species that typically do not communicate can agree and converge on a shared decision with the mediation of robots. Wow. Watch the video here: #Protolang6 youtube.com/watch?v=GJGFhA…

Since 2013, there is also a surge in work on brain to brain communication: we can connect people to each other! This is currently non-invasive, but in the future we can see paraplegic people using implants to control robotic arms. #Protolang6 journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

An interesting project is "Society 5.0'", introduced by the government of #Japan. The idea is to create a cyber-psychical-social space where humans are integrated with devices: using #AI as complementary to humans via brain-computer interfaces #Protolang6 ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum…

According to Correia, an intelligent device/entity is a system that, given a large amount of data, can identify knowledge gaps and pose intentional questions, and can then learn about those gaps and about the psychical world #Protolang6

#AI suggests that yes, it is possible to develop intelligence even without sensors.. Also, we already have devices with different types of sensors: smartphones, autonomous cars, etc. How would intelligence be like in other forms of embodiment which we are unaware of? #Protolang6

All known forms of intelligence are embodied in autonomous organisms with sensors & actuators in the real-world: natural intelligence is linked to perception and action in the psychical reality. This raises the question: is intelligence possible without embodiment? #Protolang6

We often take #vision for granted, but it's still difficult for robots. Correia argues that artificial vision is still very much behind what evolution has created. But smart people are working on this, and great advances have already been made in just under 10 years #Protolang6

Although #AI already seem advanced, there's still the paradox of motion (Moravec's paradox, 1988): Sensory-motor capabilities require a lot of computation power compared to symbolic reasoning. Locomotion is VERY difficult for robots #Protolang6 youtube.com/watch?v=lULK_e…

Next up is Prof. Luis Correia talking about new forms of intelligence. We start with acknowledging intelligence in other non-human species, who have a sense of an autobiographic self and complex learning abilities. But we quickly move to computers and robots. Yey! #Protolang6

In case you couldn't come, this is the poster I presented yesterday at #Protolang6 with Ljiljana Progovac. We argue that language macrovariation can be in part a byproduct of the evolutionary changes that brought about modern languages, with #selfdomestication playing a key role

Steels contrasts the Cartesian approach to language with the evolutionary approach #protolang6

This is Zilhão's final slide #Protolang6

Rafael Núñez is interested in behaviour that requires enculturation, the gradual acquisition of a culture's norms. In humans usually acquired via linguistic learning during ontogeny. #protolang6

Núñez presents fascinatingly complex graph on differences between types of quantification and who has them, based on this paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… (paywalled) #protolang6

Really proud to see our paper "Modeling self-domestication and its impact on language evolution: playing with ‘play’" (with @ToyaGenta, Takashi Hashimoto and Yasuaki Kai) accepted as a regular paper for the forthcoming #Protolang6 conference

Núñez ends with a quote from Dobzhansky #protolang6

They're coming for us. #protolang6

@hartmast also had the truest slide of the #protolang6 conference so far

Marie Bourjade reminds us that gesture Vs vocalisation first discussions neglect how multimodal language actually is #Protolang6

Luc Steels' conclusion on key findings & outlook of evolutionary linguistics studies #protolang6

Very cool to see that multimodal communication research is gaining momentum in comparative biology just like in linguistics #protolang6

Let the #Protolang6 live-tweeting begin! @jonasnoelle @symbolicstorage

Great slide by Zilhão on evidence for controlled fires in Neanderthals. Some researchers claims Neanderthals were opportunistic fire users but the evidence shows clear signs of intentional fire-making #protolang6

Today's first #protolang6 plenary is by Tania Kuteva (with Bernd Heine) on grammaticalization and how we can use it to go back in time to think about the evolution of grammar.

@UoE_CLE where have you guys been? 😉 #Protolang6 #Sintra #Lisbon

When do we use self-pointing? Not only for "I" but also for "We", "our society", "in the usa" etc! #protolang6

Great talk by Robert Barton arguing for the importance of the cerebellum in language evolution #Protolang6

Interesting claim by Leavens: if you actually compare adult apes and adult humans wrt social cognition, they are a lot more similar to each other than to children #Protolang6
