Learning Count Classifier Preferences of Malay Nouns
We develop a data set of Malay lexemes labelled with count classifiers, that are attested in raw or lemmatised corpora. A maximum entropy classifier based on simple, languageinspecific features generated from context tokens achieves about 50% F-score, or about 65% precision when a suite of binary classifiers is built to aid multi-class prediction of headword nouns. Surprisingly, numeric feature...
متن کاملYoung children's use of syntactic cues to learn proper names and count nouns.
In 6 experiments, 144 toddlers were tested in groups ranging in mean age from 20 to 37 months. In all experiments, children learned a novel label for a doll or a stuffed animal. The label was modeled syntactically as either a count noun (e.g., "This is a ZAV") or a proper name (e.g., "This is ZAV"). The object was then moved to a new location in front of the child, and a second identical-lookin...
متن کاملLearning to Disambiguate Syntactic Relations
Natural Language is highly ambiguous, on every level. This article describes a fast broadcoverage state-of-the-art parser that uses a carefully hand-written grammar and probabilitybased machine learning approaches on the syntactic level. It is shown in detail which statistical learning models based on Maximum-Likelihood Estimation (MLE) can support a highly developed linguistic grammar in the d...
متن کاملConsistent Translation of Repeated Nouns using Syntactic and Semantic Cues
We propose a method to decide whether two occurrences of the same noun in a source text should be translated consistently, i.e. using the same noun in the target text as well. We train and test classifiers that predict consistent translations based on lexical, syntactic, and semantic features. We first evaluate the accuracy of our classifiers intrinsically, in terms of the accuracy of consisten...
متن کاملCount Nouns – Mass Nouns Neat Nouns – Mess Nouns
In this paper I propose and formalize a theory of the mass-count distinction in which the denotations of count nouns are built from non-overlapping generators, while the denotations of mass nouns are built from overlapping generators. Counting is counting of generators, and it will follow that counting is only correct on count denotations. I will show that the theory allows two kinds of mass no...
