Paradigmatic complementariness in variation studies

Syntagmatic and Paradigmatic Representations of Term Variation

A two-tier model for the description of morphological, syntactic and semantic variations of multi-word terms is presented. It is applied to term normalization of French and English corpora in the medical and agricultural domains. Five different sources of morphological and semantic knowledge are exploited (MULTEXT, CELEX, AGROVOC, WordNetl.6, and Microsoft Word97 thesaurus). 1 I n t r o d u c t...

Discriminative training for complementariness in system combination

In recent years, techniques of output combination from multiple speech recognizers for improved overall performance have gained popularity. Most commonly, the combined systems are established independently. This paper describes our attempt to directly target joint system performance in the discriminative training objective of acoustic model parameter estimation. It also states first promising r...

Feature Selection with Redundancy-complementariness Dispersion

Feature selection has attracted significant attention in data mining and machine learning in the past decades. Many existing feature selection methods eliminate redundancy by measuring pairwise inter-correlation of features, whereas the complementariness of features and higher inter-correlation among more than two features are ignored. In this study, a modification item concerning the complemen...

Paradigmatic Chaos in Nuer

Paradigmatic derivation

It is conventional to recognise two dimensions of paradigmatic organisation in a morphological system. The inflected forms of a lexeme L make up the inflectional paradigms of L. The new lexemes that can be defined from the root of L form what is often, by extension, termed the derivational paradigm of L. Implicit in many traditional descriptions is a third subsystem, comprising the ‘principal p...
