The authors compared sublexical and supralexical approaches to morphological processing with unambiguous and ambiguous inflected words and words with ambiguous stems in 3 masked and unmasked priming experiments in Finnish. Experiment 1 showed equal facilitation for all prime types with a short 60-ms stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) but significant facilitation for unambiguous words only with a l...

One widely-endorsed argument in the experimental philosophy literature maintains that intuitive judgments are unreliable because they are influenced by the order in which thought experiments prompting those judgments are presented. Here, we explicitly state this argument from ordering effects and show that any plausible understanding of the argument leads to an untenable conclusion. First, we s...

English) joint cancellation model guaranteed A. de Cheveigné, H. Kawahara, "Multiple pitches", last revised: 8 July 1998 2 Number of pages (including figures): Number of Figures: Number of Tables: The pitch of a periodic sound is strongly correlated with its period. To perceive the multiple pitches evoked by several simultaneous sounds, the auditory system must estimate their periods. This pape...

A b s t r a c t Recognizing the plan underlying a query aids in the generation of an appropriate response. In this paper, we address the problem of how to generate cooperative responses when the user's plan is ambiguous. We show that it is not always necessary to resolve the ambiguity, and provide a procedure that estimates whether the ambiguity matters to the task of formulating a response. If...

A novel approach for the study of games with strategic uncertainty is proposed. Games are defined such that players’ strategy spaces do nor only contain pure and mixed strategies but also contain “ambiguous act strategies”, in the sense that players can base their choices on subjective randomization devices. The notions of “independent strategies” as well as “common priors” are relaxed in such ...

Probabilistic programs are widely used decision models. When implemented in practice, however, there often exists distributional ambiguity in these models. In this paper, we model the ambiguity using the likelihood ratio (LR) and use LR to construct various ambiguity sets. We consider ambiguous probabilistic programs which optimize under the worst case. Ambiguous probabilistic programs can be c...

A word sense disambiguator that is able to distinguish among the many senses of common words that are found in general-purpose, broad-coverage lexicons would be useful. For example, experiments have shown that, given accurate sense disambiguation, the lexical relations encoded in lexicons such as WordNet can be exploited to improve the effectiveness of information retrieval systems. This paper ...
