Three experiments investigated competition between word-object pairings in a cross-situational word-learning paradigm. Adults were presented with One-Word pairings, where a single word labeled a single object, and Two-Word pairings, where two words labeled a single object. In addition to measuring learning of these two pairing types, we measured competition between words that refer to the same ...

We present a complete analysis of the integer division of a single unsigned dividend word by a single unsigned divisor word based on double-word multiplication of the dividend by an inverse of the divisor. The well-known advantage of this method yields run-time efficiency, if the inverse of the divisor can be calculated at compile time, since multiplication is much faster than division in arith...

Many forms of word relatedness have been developed, providing different perspectives on word similarity. We introduce a Bayesian probabilistic tensor factorization model for synthesizing a single word vector representation and per-perspective linear transformations from any number of word similarity matrices. The resulting word vectors, when combined with the per-perspective linear transformati...

We propose TSRM, an alternative document retrieval model relying on multi-word, rather than mere single key-word domain terms, typically applied in traditional IR.

The experiment tested the hypothesis that free recall is limited by the number of chunks that can be reproduced, not the number of words. Recall of a given word should be higher the fewer chunks are required to encompass the remaining words in the list. To test this, a subset of 12 critical words was embedded in a larger list containing 12 fillers composed either of single words, or three-word ...

We compared the reading-related skills of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders who have hyperlexia (ASD + HPL) with age-matched children with ASD without HPL (ASD - HPL) and with single-word reading-matched typically developing children (TYP). Children with ASD + HPL performed (1) better than did children with ASD - HPL on tasks of single-word reading and pseudoword decoding and (2) equivale...

The size and probability distribution of a word-form’s cohort of lexical competitors influence auditory processing and can be constrained by syntactic category information. This experiment employs noun/verb homonyms (e.g. “ache”) presented in syntactic context to clarify the mechanisms and representations involved in context-based cohort restriction. Implications for theories positing single ve...

OBJECTIVE Recent models suggest that face and word recognition may rely on overlapping cognitive processes and neural regions. In support of this notion, face recognition deficits have been demonstrated in developmental dyslexia. Here we test whether the opposite association can also be found, that is, impaired reading in developmental prosopagnosia. METHOD We tested 10 adults with developmen...

This paper describes methods used for generating a morphological lexicon of organization entity names in Croatian. This resource is intended for two primary tasks: template-based natural language generation and named entity identification. The main problems concerning the lexicon generation are high level of inflection in Croatian and low linguistic quality of the primary resource containing na...

It has been claimed that, when a word is presented in isolation, recognition is affected by the precise location at which the word is fixated. However, this putative role for fixation location has yet to be reconciled with the finding from reading research that fixations made by each eye are frequently misaligned and so more than one location in a word is often fixated simultaneously. The accur...
