Verb retrieval for action naming was assessed in 53 brain-damaged subjects by administering a standardized test with 100 items. In a companion paper (Kemmerer & Tranel, 2000), it was shown that impaired and unimpaired subjects did not differ as groups in their sensitivity to a variety of stimulus, lexical, and conceptual factors relevant to the test. For this reason, the main goal of the presen...

We propose a method of automatic identification of various error types in machine translation output. The approach is mostly based on monolingual word alignment of the hypothesis and the reference translation. In addition to common lexical errors misplaced words are also detected. A comparison to manually classified MT errors is presented. Our error classification is inspired by that of Vilar (...

We present a novel method for coreference resolution error analysis which we apply to perform a recall error analysis of four state-of-the-art English coreference resolution systems. Our analysis highlights differences between the systems and identifies that the majority of recall errors for nouns and names are shared by all systems. We characterize this set of common challenging errors in term...

In English (1) tense is marked both on auxiliary do and the lexical verb. In (2), is occurs in two positions. In (3), the functional element no is realized in a relative clause, even though adult Japanese has no overt functional morpheme in this position. In (4), the ‘bound noun’ kes is likewise realized in a relative clause, even though no morpheme appears in this position in adult Korean. The...

Computational models of infant word segmentation have not been tested on a wide range of languages. This paper applies a phonotactic segmentation model to Korean. In contrast to the undersegmentation pattern previously found in English and Russian, the model exhibited more oversegmentation errors and more errors overall. Despite the high error rate, analysis suggested that lexical acquisition m...

This paper reports two experiments designed to investigate whether lexical bias in phonological speech errors is caused by immediate feedback of activation, by self-monitoring of inner speech, or by both. The experiments test a number of predictions derived from a model of self-monitoring of inner speech. This model assumes that, after an error in inner speech, (1) an early interruption of spee...

Speakers continuously monitor what they say. Sometimes, self-monitoring malfunctions and errors pass undetected and uncorrected. In the field of action monitoring, an event-related brain potential, the error-related negativity (ERN), is associated with error processing. The present study relates the ERN to verbal self-monitoring and investigates how the ERN is affected by auditory distractors d...
