At a glance:-
Language has the power to shape cognition, behavior, form and function of the brain. Technological and scientific development have recently made an increasingly diverse set of tools with which to study the way of languages changes neural structures and processes. Here we review research investigation the consequences of multilingualism as revealed by brain imaging. A key feature of multilingual cognition is that two or more languages can become activated at the same time, requiring mechanism to control the interference. And consequently, extensive experience managing multiple languages can influence cognition processes as well as thert neural correlates.
Background:-
Today's speech recognition technology is mature enough to be useful for many practical Applications. It is a paramount importance to train accurate acoustic models for many languages within given resource constraints such as data, processing power, time etc. Multilingual training has the potential to solve the data issues and close the performance gao between resource rich and resource scarce languages.
Neural networks lend themselves naturally to parameter sharing across-the-board languages and distributed implementations. And they have made it feasible to train large Networks.
