Summary
Developmental disorders of language: Causes and treatments. Disorders in the production and comprehension of spoken and written language affect 15% of children and if untreated persist through adulthood. They are powerfully influenced by genetics, but are uniquely dependent on learning. This initiative aims to create a network unique in the world by uniting researchers with expertise in research from infancy through adulthood, in diagnosis and in treatment, in spoken and written production and c ....Developmental disorders of language: Causes and treatments. Disorders in the production and comprehension of spoken and written language affect 15% of children and if untreated persist through adulthood. They are powerfully influenced by genetics, but are uniquely dependent on learning. This initiative aims to create a network unique in the world by uniting researchers with expertise in research from infancy through adulthood, in diagnosis and in treatment, in spoken and written production and comprehension, and in both cognitive and molecular genetic research. A network of research-oriented clinics for the treatment of these disorders will also be established.Read moreRead less

Summary
The Computational Processing of Human Language. Language is what makes us distinctly human; consequently, language attracts interest from many fields of research, particularly linguistics, psychology, and cognitive science. Moreover, language is the primary medium for the storage and dissemination of knowledge, a fact that has drawn many computer scientists to attempt to process, analyse and understand language. This network will bridge the many disciplines that are concerned with language, ex ....The Computational Processing of Human Language. Language is what makes us distinctly human; consequently, language attracts interest from many fields of research, particularly linguistics, psychology, and cognitive science. Moreover, language is the primary medium for the storage and dissemination of knowledge, a fact that has drawn many computer scientists to attempt to process, analyse and understand language. This network will bridge the many disciplines that are concerned with language, explore new ways in which computational models inform our understanding of human languages, and exploit new opportunities for applying theories of language in the development of human language technologies.Read moreRead less

Summary
An Integrated Intelligent Bio-machines Network. The increasing use of computing, advanced materials, electronic control with biological or human applications has provided the need to strengthen the nexus of these discipline areas. This proposal is expected to identify the critical areas of integration that can be realistically developed into meaningful technologies and products in the short-to-medium term. The significance of this network is to enhance the science and technology required for sy ....An Integrated Intelligent Bio-machines Network. The increasing use of computing, advanced materials, electronic control with biological or human applications has provided the need to strengthen the nexus of these discipline areas. This proposal is expected to identify the critical areas of integration that can be realistically developed into meaningful technologies and products in the short-to-medium term. The significance of this network is to enhance the science and technology required for systems and products such as bionic eyes, legs, muscles and larynxes. These products and systems characterize the essence of this network: The integration of hardware and software with wetware (Humans).Read moreRead less
