Number Sense Disambiguation
Word Sense Disambiguation is a well studied field, with a range of successful methods. However, there has been little work on examining the analogue for numbers, classifying them into senses (‘year’, ‘date’, ‘telephone number’ etc.) based on their context potentially useful for Text to Speech and Information Extraction systems. We extend the semi-supervised Decision List model described by Davi...
متن کامل, Freiburg THE DEVELOPMENT OF NUMBER SENSE
In order to find out how number sense develops with increasing age, an estimation test, including numbers of quantities, lengths and weights in different orders of magnitude was developed and given to children in primary schools, in secondary schools and to mathematics students. The results show strengths in estimating lengths (in cm and m) and weaknesses in estimating weights and lengths or qu...
متن کاملPsychophysical evidence for the number sense
It is now clear that most animals, including humans, possess an ability to rapidly estimate number. Some have questioned whether this ability arises from dedicated numerosity mechanisms, or is derived indirectly from judgements of density or other attributes. We describe a series of psychophysical experiments, largely using adaptation techniques, which demonstrate clearly the existence of a num...
متن کاملA generalized sense of number
Much evidence has accumulated to suggest that many animals, including young human infants, possess an abstract sense of approximate quantity, a number sense. Most research has concentrated on apparent numerosity of spatial arrays of dots or other objects, but a truly abstract sense of number should be capable of encoding the numerosity of any set of discrete elements, however displayed and in w...
متن کاملNumber sense in human infants.
Four experiments used a preferential looking method to investigate 6-month-old infants' capacity to represent numerosity in visual-spatial displays. Building on previous findings that such infants discriminate between arrays of eight versus 16 discs, but not eight versus 12 discs (Xu & Spelke, 2000), Experiments 1 and 2 investigated whether infants' numerosity discrimination depends on the rati...
