Integrating Symbolic and Statistical Representations : The Lexicon Pragmatics InterfaceAnn

چکیده
We describe a formal framework for interpretation of words and compounds in a discourse context which integrates a symbolic lexicon/grammar, word-sense probabilities , and a pragmatic component. The approach is motivated by the need to handle productive word use. In this paper, we concentrate on compound nominals. We discuss the inadequacies of approaches which consider compound interpretation as either wholly lexico-grammatical or wholly pragmatic, and provide an alternative integrated account.

متن کاملA Stylistic Analysis of Lexicon in Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles
Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles is a futuristic, science fiction novel that chronicles the colonization of Mars by humans, projecting the United States’ colonial and immigrant past on to a symbolic future. Bradbury’s use of language is mostly picturesque and sensory. The present paper applies a text-oriented analysis of stylistic elements that construct meaning in the text and evoke the n...
متن کاملUnsupervised Lexicon Discovery from Acoustic Input
We present a model of unsupervised phonological lexicon discovery—the problem of simultaneously learning phoneme-like and word-like units from acoustic input. Our model builds on earlier models of unsupervised phone-like unit discovery from acoustic data (Lee and Glass, 2012), and unsupervised symbolic lexicon discovery using the Adaptor Grammar framework (Johnson et al., 2006), integrating the...
متن کاملIntegrating connectionist, statistical and symbolic approaches for continuous spoken Korean processing
This paper presents a multi-strategic and hybrid approach for large-scale integrated speech and natural language processing, employing connectionist, statistical and symbolic techniques. The developed spoken Korean processing engine (SKOPE) integrates connectionist TDNN-based phoneme recognition technique with statistical Viterbi-based lexical decoding and symbolic morphological/phonological an...
