Gesture and its impact of resolving lexical ambiguity

Resolving lexical ambiguity in a deterministic parser

Lexical ambiguity and especially part-of-speech ambiguity is the source of much non-determinism in parsing. As a result, the resolution of lexical ambiguity presents deterministic parsing with a major test. If deterministic parsing is to be viable, it must be shown that lexical ambiguity can be resolved easily deterministically. In this paper, it is shown that Marcus's "diagnostics" can be hand...

Resolving Lexical Ambiguity in Tensor Regression Models of Meaning

This paper provides a method for improving tensor-based compositional distributional models of meaning by the addition of an explicit disambiguation step prior to composition. In contrast with previous research where this hypothesis has been successfully tested against relatively simple compositional models, in our work we use a robust model trained with linear regression. The results we get in...

Children's use of gesture to resolve lexical ambiguity.

We report on a study investigating 3-5-year-old children's use of gesture to resolve lexical ambiguity. Children were told three short stories that contained two homonym senses; for example, bat (flying mammal) and bat (sports equipment). They were then asked to re-tell these stories to a second experimenter. The data were coded for the means that children used during attempts at disambiguation...

abstract u.s. attack to afghanistan after 9/11 provided opportunities for us who tried to become the dominant power after collapse of ussr and bipolar world. thinkers like fukuyama believed american liberal democrats thought would be universally accepted without resistances. liberal democracy is the best and final model of governance; in this regard, united state has moral responsibilities for...

Lexical Ambiguity and its Impact on Plan Recognition for Intrusion Detection

Viewing intrusion detection as a problem of plan recognition presents unique problems. Real world security domains are highly ambiguous and this creates significant problems for plan recognition. This paper distinguishes three sources of ambiguity: action ambiguity, syntactic ambiguity and attachment ambiguity. Previous work in plan recognition has often conflated these different sources of amb...
