Chris Biemann: A computer that can develop its own language
Chris Biemann at Technische Universität Darmstadt has been appointed one of the Wallenberg Academy Fellows of 2015 and for the next five years he will be working at University of Gothenburg. As a Wallenberg Academy Fellow, Chris Biemann will produce computers that can gradually develop their language, just as we humans do. By analysing large amounts of text, the computer will, for example, be able to conclude that "stool" and "chair" are similar things.
