Comparing Semantic Space Models Using Child-directed Speech
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of semantic space models from the cognitive science literature were compared by training on a corpus of child-directed speech and evaluating on three increasingly rigorous semantic tasks. The performance of families of models varied with the type of semantic data, and not all models were reasonably successful on each task, suggesting a narrowing of the space of plausible model architectures.

Comparing Predictive and Co-occurrence Based Models of Lexical Semantics Trained on Child-directed Speech
Distributional Semantic Models have been successful at predicting many semantic behaviors. The aim of this paper is to compare two major classes of these models – cooccurrence-based models, and prediction error-driven models – in learning semantic categories from child-directed speech. Co-occurrence models have gained more attention in cognitive research, while research from computational lingu...
متن کاملA Longitudinal Study of Prosodic Exaggeration in Child - directed Speech 194
We investigate the role of prosody in child-directed speech of three English speaking adults using data collected for the Human Speechome Project, an ecologically valid, longitudinal corpus collected from the home of a family with a young child. We looked at differences in prosody between child-directed and adult-directed speech. We also looked at the change in prosody of child-directed speech ...

متن کاملThe Semantic Spaces of Child-Directed Speech, Child Speech and Adult-directed Speech: A Manifold Perspective
Child-directed speech (CDS) is a talking style adopted by caregivers when they talk to toddlers (Snow, 1995). We consider the role of distributional semantic features of CDS in language acquisition. We view semantic structure as a manifold on which words lie. We compare the semantic structure of verbs in CDS to the semantic structure of child speech (CS) and adult-directed speech (ADS) by measu...
متن کاملProsodic Features from Large Corpora of Child-Directed Speech as Predictors of the Age of Acquisition of Words
The impressive ability of children to acquire language is a widely studied phenomenon, and the factors influencing the pace and patterns of word learning remains a subject of active research. Although many models predicting the age of acquisition of words have been proposed, little emphasis has been directed to the raw input children achieve. In this work we present a comparatively large-scale ...
