Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This note highlights the Biolinguistics Network, its creation, and its role as a promising avenue of research in the biological basis of the language faculty. It also provides insights into the type of material discussed by the Network's participants so far, and the questions that will be addressed in upcoming events. The Biolinguistics Network was created in 2007 to foster multidisciplinary research by setting up a dynamic space to address biolinguistic questions, including what are the principles of our knowledge of language, how this knowledge grows, how it is put to use, how it evolved, and which aspects of the machinery are unique to language as opposed to shared with other domains of knowledge. Such questions were discussed in the two conferences that led to the creation of the Biolinguistics Network. The first, Biolinguistic Investigations, took place in Santo Domingo in February, 2007. The second, Biolinguistic Perspectives on Language Evolution and Variation, was held in Venice in June of that same year. These meetings brought together a number of contributors to the field. Selected papers from these two conferences are assembled in The Biolinguistic Enterprise: New Perspectives on the Evolution and Nature of the Human Language Faculty (Di Sciullo & Boeckx, in press). Such events and related publications, including the multi-authored cross-disciplinary piece published in this issue

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
