Extracting token-level signals of syntactic processing from fMRI - with an application to PoS induction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neuro-imaging studies on reading different parts of speech (PoS) report somewhat mixed results, yet some of them indicate different activations with different PoS. This paper addresses the difficulty of using fMRI to discriminate between linguistic tokens in reading of running text because of low temporal resolution. We show that once we solve this problem, fMRI data contains a signal of PoS distinctions to the extent that it improves PoS induction with error reductions of more than 4%.

Application of statistical techniques and artificial neural network to estimate force from sEMG signals
This paper presents an application of design of experiments techniques to determine the optimized parameters of artificial neural network (ANN), which are used to estimate force from Electromyogram (sEMG) signals. The accuracy of ANN model is highly dependent on the network parameters settings. There are plenty of algorithms that are used to obtain the optimal ANN setting. However, to the best ...

In this paper, the role of Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging for parsing in automatic processing of the Persian language is studied. To this end, the impact of the quality of POS tagging as well as the impact of the quantity of information available in the POS tags on parsing are studied. To reach the goals, three parsing scenarios are proposed and compared. In the first scenario, the parser assigns...
متن کاملWord Context and Token Representations from Paradigmatic Relations and Their Application to Part-of-Speech Induction
Representation of words as dense real vectors in the Euclidean space provides an intuitive definition of relatedness in terms of the distance or the angle between one another. Regions occupied by these word representations reveal syntactic and semantic traits of the words. On top of that, word representations can be incorporated in other natural language processing algorithms as features. In th...
متن کاملContext-dependent type-level models for unsupervised morpho-syntactic induction
This thesis improves unsupervised methods for part-of-speech (POS) induction and morphological word segmentation by modeling linguistic phenomena previously not used. For both tasks, we realize these linguistic intuitions with Bayesian generative models that first create a latent lexicon before generating unannotated tokens in the input corpus. Our POS induction model explicitly incorporates pr...
متن کاملAn improved joint model: POS tagging and dependency parsing
Dependency parsing is a way of syntactic parsing and a natural language that automatically analyzes the dependency structure of sentences, and the input for each sentence creates a dependency graph. Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging is a prerequisite for dependency parsing. Generally, dependency parsers do the POS tagging task along with dependency parsing in a pipeline mode. Unfortunately, in pipel...
