Signaling Elaboration: Combining French Gerund Clauses with Lexical Cohesion Cues

Interaction between syntax and semantics: The case of gerund translation

Standard architectures favor sequential processes for the semantic and syntactic part of natural language generation. Some semantic decisions, however, require information from the syntactic part, as is shown at the example of translating English gerunds into German. As a solution to this problem, a model is proposed in which syntactic and semantic modules work in parallel, computing preference...

Signalling Elaboration: Combining Gerund Clauses with Lexical Cues

In this paper, we aim at automatically identifying Elaboration. This relation is particularly difficult to spot since it does not have prototypical markers. Our approach focuses on an ambiguous syntactic pattern, the gerund clause, combined with lexical cues. This approach allows us to detect few but accurate cases of inner sentence Elaborations in our corpus, validating the fact that lexical c...

False Consensus About False Consensus

Research on human reasoning is dominated by demonstrations of the errors people make in various judgment and decision-making tasks. The area of social cognition is not an exception: the list of apparent errors is long and includes a number of contradictory phenomena. Here we explore a prominent example of the contradictory pairs of biases: false consensus and false uniqueness. We show in an emp...
