Infants Generalize Representations of Statistically Segmented Words
The acoustic variation in language presents learners with a substantial challenge. To learn by tracking statistical regularities in speech, infants must recognize words across tokens that differ based on characteristics such as the speaker's voice, affect, or the sentence context. Previous statistical learning studies have not investigated how these types of non-phonemic surface form variation ...
متن کاملInfants generalize from just (the right) four words.
Infants in the lab can generalize from 2min of language-like input. Given that infants might fail to fully encode so much input, how many examples do they actually need? And if infants only encode a subset of their input at one time, does generalization change when that subset supports multiple generalizations? Exp. 1 asked whether 11-month-olds generalize the relation between two consonants in...
متن کاملFast Discovery of Statistically Interesting Words
In biological sequences, statistically interesting words can lead us to detect subsequences that have a relevant functional significance (e.g. subsequences preserved through evolution or copies of genes). In this paper, we present an efficient method for discovering statist ically interesting words in bio logical sequences. It is based on suffix arrays and for a sequence of size n it has a wors...
متن کاملCan infants map meaning to newly segmented words? Statistical segmentation and word learning.
The present experiments investigated how the process of statistically segmenting words from fluent speech is linked to the process of mapping meanings to words. Seventeen-month-old infants first participated in a statistical word segmentation task, which was immediately followed by an object-label-learning task. Infants presented with labels that were words in the fluent speech used in the segm...
متن کاملRepresentations of Circular Words
In this article we give two different ways of representations of circular words. Representations with tuples are intended as a compact notation, while representations with trees give a way to easily process all conjugates of a word. The latter form can also be used as a graphical representation of periodic properties of finite (in some cases, infinite) words. We also define iterative representa...
