WHAT IS CAMP?
CAMP is the California Meeting on Psycholinguistics, an informal workshop to promote psycholinguistics research in California. The three-day workshop is free, but participants must register in advance. All are welcome to submit, but research by students and post-docs will be prioritized. Invited research areas include, but are not limited to:
Adult and child language processing
Language comprehension
Language planning and production
Developmental psycholinguistics
Computational psycholinguistics
Bilingual language processing
Neurolinguistics
Experimental syntax, semantics, or phonology
WHAT'S NEW AT CAMP THIS YEAR?
In addition to the typical Saturday-Sunday program of submitted talks, this year's CAMP will feature a Friday workshop on Large Language Models. The Friday workshop is sponsored by a University of California multi-campus grant, "Leveraging California’s Linguistic Diversity to Improve Large Language Models". Friday's program will feature an invited keynote talk as well as a hands-on tutorial on how to extract probability/surprisal values from large language models.
