Bertrand’s Paradox Revisited: More Lessons about that Ambiguous Word, Random
The Bertrand paradox question is: “Consider a unit-radius circle for which the length of a side of an inscribed equilateral triangle equals 3 . Determine the probability that the length of a ‘random’ chord of a unit-radius circle has length greater than 3 .” Bertrand derived three different ‘correct’ answers, the correctness depending on interpretation of the word, random. Here we employ geomet...
متن کاملMore Ways to Play
This year marks a significant change in the recent history of hard disk drive development. During the final years of the last century and for the last two years the areal density of magnetic recording had been increasing at rates close to or exceeding 100% per year. That meant that each generation of hard disk drive had a digital data capacity that was close to twice that of the previous genera...
متن کاملACL Lifetime Achievement Award: Word Play
This article is a perspective on some important developments in semantics and in computational linguistics over the past forty years. It reviews two lines of research that lie at opposite ends of the field: semantics and morphology. The semantic part deals with issues from the 1970s such as discourse referents, implicative verbs, presuppositions, and questions. The second part presents a brief ...
متن کاملMore Than 1700 Years of Word Equations
Geometry and Diophantine equations have been ever-present in mathematics. Diophantus of Alexandria was born in the 3rd century (as far as we know), but a systematic mathematical study of word equations began only in the 20th century. So, the title of the present article does not seem to be justified at all. However, a linear Diophantine equation can be viewed as a special case of a system of wo...
متن کاملMore Naturalistic Cross-situational Word Learning
Previous research has found that people can use word-object co-occurrences from ambiguous situations to learn word meanings (e.g., Yu & Smith, 2007). However, most studies of cross-situational learning present an equal number of words and objects, which may simplify the problem by, for example, encouraging learners to use assumptions such as each word going with one object. This paper presents ...
