Connectionist Learning to Read Aloud and Correlation to Human Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
A research on connectionist mapping from written to spoken forms in natural language is presented. The more plausible for this task Simple Recurrent Network was used instead of a static one. The model was trained on Dutch monosyllabic corpus. The effects of frequency, length and consistency were examined too and they were found matching to reported data in psycholinguistic experiments.

The Effect of Read-Aloud Method on Iranian EFL Learners' Reading Comprehension
One of the most important language skills affecting students' success in academic settings is reading comprehension and the ability to read fluently in a second language. Japanese EFL learners' less than satisfactory performance in standard English tests led Shinozuka, Mizusawa, and Shibata (2014) to design the read-aloud method. This study investigated the effectiveness of this newly designed ...
متن کاملExploring Language Learners’ Cognitive Processes in On-line ESP Courses via Think-aloud Protocol Analysis
The present study aims to investigate language learners’ cognitive processes in on-line ESP courses. Three modes of inquiry are used: think-aloud protocol analysis, screen capture analysis, and correlation analysis. The theoretical foundations for the evaluation of the cognitive aspect of Ferdowsi Univeristy of Mashhad E-learning System are drawn from cognitive load theory, cognitive apprentice...
متن کاملReading Exception Words and Pseudowords: Are Two Routes Really Necessary?
This paper describes simulation experiments demonstrating that a unitary processing system in the form of a connectionist network is capable of learning to read exception words and pronounceable nonwords aloud. We trained such a network on the 3000 word corpus used by Seidenberg and McClelland (1989). After training, the network was able to read over 99% of the training corpus correctly. When t...
متن کاملDo current connectionist learning models account for reading development in different languages?
Learning to read a relatively irregular orthography, such as English, is harder and takes longer than learning to read a relatively regular orthography, such as German. At the end of grade 1, the difference in reading performance on a simple set of words and nonwords is quite dramatic. Whereas children using regular orthographies are already close to ceiling, English children read only about 40...
متن کاملConnectionist psycholinguistics: capturing the empirical data.
Connectionist psycholinguistics is an emerging approach to modeling empirical data on human language processing using connectionist computational architectures. For almost 20 years, connectionist models have increasingly been used to model empirical data across many areas of language processing. We critically review four key areas: speech processing, sentence processing, language production, an...
