ABSTRACT:
The Human Speechome Project is an effort to observe
and computationally model the longitudinal course of
language development of a single child at an unprecedented
scale. The idea is this: Instrument a child's
home so that nearly everything the child hears and sees
from birth to three is recorded. Develop a computational
model of language learning that takes the child's
audio-visual experiential record as input. Evaluate the
model's performance in matching the child's linguistic
abilities as a means of assessing possible learning strategies
used by children in natural contexts. First steps
of a pilot effort along these lines are described including
issues of privacy management and methods for overcoming
limitations of fully-automated machine perception.
