Factors in Human Langua

نویسنده

چکیده

Listeners’ skill at identifying five target languages from short samples and discriminating the targets among a set of other languages was tested. Subjects in two groups, US and French, were generally quite successful in identification. Individual variation is poorly explained by degree of prior casual exposure to the target languages or academic linguistic training. Linguistic training does predict some greater success in discrimination. The implied language groupings which emerge from identification errors and in the discrimination phase are more informative from the largely linguist US subjects.

On the Use of Structures in Langua

The paper describes the combined use of three new language modelling paradigms. They are: generation of plausible trigrams by analogy, explanation-based generation of errorcorrecting automata, and disambiguation using Semantic Classification Trees. Tangible word error rate reduction is observed by the combined use of these paradigms.

Layers of Meaning: Disentangling Subject Access Interoperability

ieved. In order to facilitate subject access interoperability a mechanism must be built that allows the different controlled vocabularies to communicate meaning, relationships, and levels of extension and intension so that different user groups using different controlled vocabularies could access collections across the network. Switching languages, the tools of controlled vocabulary compatibili...

Exploiting Unlabeled Data Using Improved Natural Langua

This paper presents an unsupervised method that uses limited amount of labeled data and a large pool of unlabeled data to improve natural language call routing performance. The method uses multiple classifiers to select a subset of the unlabeled data to augment limited labeled data. We evaluated four widely used text classification algorithms; Naive Bayes Classification (NBC), Support Vector ma...
