Next time on 1/23/15 @ 11:30am in SBSG 2221 = Johnson 2013

Hi everyone,

It looks like a good collective time to meet will be Fridays at 11:30am for this quarter, so that's what we'll plan on.  Our first meeting will be on January 23, and our complete schedule is available on the webpage at 

http://www.socsci.uci.edu/~lpearl/colareadinggroup/schedule.html

On January 23, we'll be discussing a book chapter that looks closely at the idea that language acquisition is a statistical inference problem, and examines how to translate current machine learning statistical inference approaches to implementations that would work for acquisition.
