Prior Linguistic Knowledge Influences Implicit Language Learning
We report three experiments that explore the effect of prior linguistic knowledge on implicit language learning. Native speakers of English and native speakers of Cantonese participated in implicit learning (IL) experiments that involved different learning materials. In Experiment 1, both participant groups showed evidence of learning a mapping between articles and noun animacy. In Experiment 2...
متن کاملStatistical Likelihood Representations of Prior Knowledge in Machine Learning
We show that maximum a posteriori (MAP) statistical methods can be used in nonparametric machine learning problems in the same way as their current applications in parametric statistical problems, and give some examples of applications. This MAPN (MAP for nonparametric machine learning) paradigm can also reproduce much more transparently the same results as regularization methods in machine lea...
متن کاملStatistical learning as a domain - general mechanism of entrenchment
Statistical learning is a cognitive process that serves as a mechanism of entrenchment across a number of domains, including language. It is a process by which learners implicitly form associations between stimuli by tracking and storing the underlying statistical relationships between such elements. This chapter examines the statistical relationships that learners are sensitive to, along with ...
متن کاملUsing Linguistic Knowledge in Statistical Machine Translation
In this thesis, we present methods for using linguistically motivated information to enhance the performance of statistical machine translation (SMT). One of the advantages of the statistical approach to machine translation is that it is largely languageagnostic. Machine learning models are used to automatically learn translation patterns from data. SMT can, however, be improved by using lingui...
متن کاملIntelligence, Prior Knowledge, and Learning
Intelligence test scores can account for achievement differences in many content areas to a considerable extent. An individual’s IQ results from complex interactions between genes and environmental stimulation, foremost schooling. The amount of variance in intelligence to be explained by genes is the higher the more successful a society is in providing cognitively stimulating environments for e...
