Predicting Linguistic Difficulty by Means of a Morpho-Syntactic Probabilistic Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose in this paper a new contribution to the evaluation of linguistic difficulty. At the opposite of classical approaches relying on syntax, we show that a probabilistic morpho-syntactic analysis provides information enough to calculate different parameters, including surprisal. This method constitutes an original and robust model to linguistic complexity. It constitutes a solution towards complexity experiments using spoken languages.

متن کاملPredicting Pronouns across Languages with Continuous Word Spaces
Predicting pronouns across languages from a language with less variation to one with much more is a hard task that requires many different types of information, such as morpho-syntactic information as well as lexical semantics and coreference. We assumed that continuous word spaces fed into a multi-layer perceptron enriched with morphological tags and coreference resolution would be able to cap...
