Learning the Past Tense of English Verbs: An Extension to FOIDL
نویسندگان
چکیده
First-Order Induction of Decision Lists (FOIDL) is a new ILP method developed as a result of the failure of existing ILP methods when applied to the learning of past tense of English verbs. Using intentional knowledge representation, output completeness, and first-order decision lists, it can learn highly accurate rules for the past tense problem but with some drawbacks. In this paper, we present an extension to FOIDL that learns rules faster using a learning algorithm similar to version space learning.

متن کاملFrequency Effects of Regular Past Tense Forms in English on Native Speakers’ and Second Language Learners’ Accuracy Rate and Reaction Time
There is substantial debate over the mental representation of regular past tense forms in both first language (L1) and second language (L2) processing. Specifically, the controversy revolves around the nature of morphologically complex forms such as the past tense –ed in English and how morphological structures of such forms are represented in the mental lexicon. This study focuses on the resul...
