Learning Pronunciation Dictionaries: Language Complexity and Word Selection Strategies

The speed with which pronunciation dictionaries can be bootstrapped depends on the efficiency of learning algorithms and on the ordering of words presented to the user. This paper presents an active-learning word selection strategy that is mindful of human limitations. Learning rates approach that of an oracle system that knows the final LTS rule set.

Experimental methods in studying child language acquisition.

UNLABELLED This article reviews the some of the most widely used methods used for studying children's language acquisition including (1) spontaneous/naturalistic, diary, parental report data, (2) production methods (elicited production, repetition/elicited imitation, syntactic priming/weird word order), (3) comprehension methods (act-out, pointing, intermodal preferential looking, looking while...

Slope Preserving Terrain Simplification - An Experimental Study

This paper introduces a new measure of quality for terrain surface simplification aiming at preserving the slope of the surface, as well as a new simplification algorithm which satisfies this measure. Experimental results and comparisons with other simplification algorithms show the effectiveness of proposed algorithm according to some quality measures.

Distance Preserving Terrain Simplification - An Experimental Study

The terrain surface simplification problem has been studied extensively, as it has important applications in geographic information systems and computer graphics. The goal is to obtain a new surface that is combinatorially as simple as possible, while maintaining a prescribed degree of similarity with the original input surface. In this paper, we propose new algorithms for simplifying terrain s...
