language learners tend to use their mother tongue while learning a second language conducted in error analysis framework, this study was aimed at investigating the persian syntactic errors in pieces of writing of a group of talysh-speaking students in north-and south-anbaran villages in gilan. the participants were third, fourth, and fifth grade elementary school students. the reasons and origi...

Cross-lingual tasks are especially difficult due to the compounding effect of errors in language processing and errors in machine translation (MT). In this paper, we present an error analysis of a new cross-lingual task: the 5W task, a sentence-level understanding task which seeks to return the English 5W's (Who, What, When, Where and Why) corresponding to a Chinese sentence. We analyze systems...

objectives: this study aimed to assess the radicular wall thickness in mandibular incisors with two canals and find the maximum and minimum thickness to prevent root canal treatment (rct) procedural errors. materials and methods: a total of 160 extracted mandibular incisors were selected and radiographed; out of which, 55 had two canals. three parallel transverse sections were made in each toot...

The aim of the present study is threefold. The first is that whether there is any difference betweendifferent proficiency level language learners 'use of spatial prepositions. The Second aim is toreveal that if the native language of the participants has any effect on applying the appropriateprepositions and also to find which spatial preposition is difficult to acquire. The present paperexamin...

This paper proposes a new bootstrapping framework using cross-lingual information projection. We demonstrate that this framework is particularly effective for a challenging NLP task which is situated at the end of a pipeline and thus suffers from the errors propagated from upstream processing and has low-performance baseline. Using Chinese event extraction as a case study and bitexts as a new s...

This study aimed at analysing errors in essays written by Malawian students who were learning English as a Second Language (ESL). Its specific focus was three-fold: to analyse using Corder’s (1974) five-stage approach Error Analysis, assess sources of the and identify measures that could be applied help attain proficiency English. The utilised qualitative quantitative designs. participants this...

We propose a cross-lingual framework for learning coreference resolvers for resource-poor target languages, given a resolver in a source language. Our method uses word-aligned bitext to project information from the source to the target. To handle task-specific costs, we propose a softmax-margin variant of posterior regularization, and we use it to achieve robustness to projection errors. We sho...

Cross lingual projection of linguistic annotation suffers from many sources of bias and noise, leading to unreliable annotations that cannot be used directly. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to sequence tagging that learns to correct the errors from cross-lingual projection using an explicit debiasing layer. This is framed as joint learning over two corpora, one tagged with gold st...

It is well-known that human listeners significantly outperform machines when it comes to transcribing speech. This paper presents a progress report of the joint research in the automatic vs human speech transcription and of the perceptual experiments developed at LIMSI that aims to increase our understanding of automatic speech recognition errors. Two paradigms are described here in which human...
