Continuous vector word representations (or word embeddings) have shown success in capturing semantic relations between words, as evidenced with evaluation against behavioral data of adult performance on semantic tasks (Pereira et al. 2016). Adult semantic knowledge is the endpoint of a language acquisition process; thus, a relevant question is whether these models can also capture emerging word representations of young language learners. However, the data of semantic knowledge of children is scarce or non-existent for some age groups. In this paper, we propose to bridge this gap by using Age of Acquisition norms to evaluate word embeddings learnt from child-directed input. We present two methods that evaluate word embeddings in terms of (a) the semantic neighbourhood density of learnt words, and (b) the convergence to adult word associations. We apply our methods to bag-of-words models, and we find that (1) children acquire words with fewer semantic neighbours earlier, and (2) young learners only attend to very local context. These findings provide converging evidence for validity of our methods in understanding the prerequisite features for a distributional model of word learning.
连续向量词表示(或词嵌入)在捕获词之间的语义关系方面取得了成功,对成人在语义任务上表现的行为数据的评估证明了这一点(Pereira et al. 2016)。成人语义知识是语言习得过程的终点;因此,一个相关的问题是,这些模型是否也能捕捉到年轻语言学习者的新兴单词表征。然而,在某些年龄组,儿童语义知识的数据很少或根本不存在。在本文中,我们建议通过使用习得年龄规范来评估从儿童导向输入中学习的词嵌入来弥合这一差距。我们提出了两种评估词嵌入的方法,这两种方法分别是:(a)习得词的语义邻域密度,以及(b)向成人词关联的收敛。我们将我们的方法应用于词袋模型,我们发现(1)儿童更早地获得语义邻居较少的单词,(2)年轻学习者只关注非常局部的上下文。这些发现为我们的方法在理解单词学习分布模型的先决特征方面的有效性提供了聚合证据。

Different aspects of language processing have been shown to be sensitive to priming but the findings of studies examining priming effects in adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) have been inconclusive. We present a study analysing visual and implicit semantic priming in adolescents with ASD and DLD. Based on a dataset of fictional and script-like narratives, we evaluate how often and how extensively, content of two different priming sources is used by the participants. The first priming source was visual, consisting of images shown to the participants to assist them with their storytelling. The second priming source originated from commonsense knowledge, using crowdsourced data containing prototypical script elements. Our results show that individuals with ASD are less sensitive to both types of priming, but show typical usage of primed cues when they use them at all. In contrast, children with DLD show mostly average priming sensitivity, but exhibit an over-proportional use of the priming cues.
语言处理的不同方面已被证明对启动敏感,但对自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)和发展性语言障碍(DLD)青少年启动效应的研究结果尚无定论。我们提出了一项研究分析视觉和内隐语义启动在青少年自闭症和DLD。基于虚构和脚本式叙事的数据集,我们评估了参与者使用两种不同启动源内容的频率和范围。第一个启动源是视觉的,包括向参与者展示的图像,以帮助他们讲故事。第二个启动源来自常识性知识,使用包含原型脚本元素的众包数据。我们的研究结果表明,自闭症患者对这两种类型的启动都不太敏感,但当他们使用启动线索时,他们会表现出典型的使用。相比之下,DLD儿童大多表现出平均的启动敏感性,但表现出过度使用启动线索。

What Determines the Order of Verbal Dependents in Hindi? Effects of Efficiency in Comprehension and Production 是什么决定了印地语词性依存词的顺序?效率在理解和生产中的作用

Word order flexibility is one of the distinctive features of SOV languages. In this work, we investigate whether the order and relative distance of preverbal dependents in Hindi, an SOV language, is affected by factors motivated by efficiency considerations during comprehension/production. We investigate the influence of Head–Dependent Mutual Information (HDMI), similarity-based interference, accessibility and case-marking. Results show that preverbal dependents remain close to the verbal head when the HDMI between the verb and its dependent is high. This demonstrates the influence of locality constraints on dependency distance and word order in an SOV language. Additionally, dependency distance were found to be longer when the dependent was animate, when it was case-marked and when it was semantically similar to other preverbal dependents. Together the results highlight the crosslinguistic generalizability of these factors and provide evidence for a functionally motivated account of word order in SOV languages such as Hindi.
词序灵活性是SOV语言的显著特征之一。在这项工作中,我们调查了印地语,一种SOV语言,语前依存的顺序和相对距离是否受到理解/生产过程中效率考虑的因素的影响。我们研究了头部依赖互信息(HDMI)、基于相似性的干扰、可及性和大小写标记的影响。结果表明,当动词与其依存词之间的HDMI值较高时,语前依存词仍保持在动词头部附近。这证明了局部性约束对SOV语言中依赖距离和词序的影响。此外,当依存关系是有生命的,当它是大小写标记的,当它在语义上与其他言语前依存关系相似时,发现依赖距离更长。总之,这些结果突出了这些因素的跨语言普遍性,并为印地语等SOV语言中词序的功能动机解释提供了证据。

Guessing the Age of Acquisition of Italian Lemmas through Linear Regression 用线性回归法猜测意大利语引理习得的年龄
Pub Date : 2020-11-01 DOI: 10.18653/v1/2020.cmcl-1.5
Irene Russo
The age of acquisition of a word is a psycholinguistic variable concerning the age at which a word is typically learned. It correlates with other psycholinguistic variables such as familiarity, concreteness, and imageability. Existing datasets for multiple languages also include linguistic variables such as the length and the frequency of lemmas in different corpora. There are substantial sets of normative values for English, but for other languages, such as Italian, the coverage is scarce. In this paper,a set of regression experiments investigates whether it is possible to guess the age of acquisition of Italian lemmas that have not been previously rated by humans. An intrinsic evaluation is proposed, correlating estimated Italian lemmas’ AoA with English lemmas’ AoA. An extrinsic evaluation - using AoA values as features for the classification of literary excerpts labeled by age appropriateness - shows how es-sential is lexical coverage for this task.
一个词的习得年龄是一个心理语言学变量,涉及到一个词通常在什么年龄被学习。它与其他心理语言学变量相关,如熟悉度、具体性和可想象性。现有的多语言数据集还包括语言变量,如不同语料库中引理的长度和频率。英语有大量的规范值,但对于其他语言,如意大利语,覆盖范围很少。在本文中,一组回归实验调查是否有可能猜测以前没有被人类评级的意大利语引理的习得年龄。提出了一种内在评价方法,将估计的意大利语引理的AoA与英语引理的AoA相关联。外部评价-使用AoA值作为文学节选分类的特征,标记年龄适当性-显示了这个任务的词汇覆盖是多么重要。

Production-based Cognitive Models as a Test Suite for Reinforcement Learning Algorithms 基于生产的认知模型作为强化学习算法的测试套件
Pub Date : 2020-11-01 DOI: 10.18653/v1/2020.cmcl-1.3
Adrian Brasoveanu
We introduce a framework in which production-rule based computational cognitive modeling and Reinforcement Learning can systematically interact and inform each other. We focus on linguistic applications because the sophisticated rule-based cognitive models needed to capture linguistic behavioral data promise to provide a stringent test suite for RL algorithms, connecting RL algorithms to both accuracy and reaction-time experimental data. Thus, we open a path towards assembling an experimentally rigorous and cognitively realistic benchmark for RL algorithms. We extend our previous work on lexical decision tasks and tabular RL algorithms (Brasoveanu and Dotlačil, 2020b) with a discussion of neural-network based approaches, and a discussion of how parsing can be formalized as an RL problem.
我们引入了一个框架,在这个框架中,基于生产规则的计算认知建模和强化学习可以系统地相互作用并相互通知。我们专注于语言应用,因为捕获语言行为数据所需的复杂的基于规则的认知模型有望为强化学习算法提供严格的测试套件,将强化学习算法与准确性和反应时间实验数据联系起来。因此,我们为强化学习算法的实验严谨和认知现实基准的组装开辟了一条道路。我们扩展了之前在词法决策任务和表格强化学习算法方面的工作(Brasoveanu和dotla, 2020b),讨论了基于神经网络的方法,并讨论了如何将解析形式化为强化学习问题。

Conditioning, but on Which Distribution? Grammatical Gender in German Plural Inflection 条件作用,但哪种分布?德语复数变形的语法性别

Grammatical gender is a consistent and informative cue to the plural class of German nouns. We find that neural encoder-decoder models learn to rely on this cue to predict plural class, but adult speakers are relatively insensitive to it. This suggests that the neural models are not an effective cognitive model of German plural formation.
语法性别是德语名词复数类的一致和信息线索。我们发现,神经编码器-解码器模型学会了依赖这个线索来预测复数类,但成年说话者对它相对不敏感。这表明神经模型并不是德语复数构筑物的有效认知模型。

Development of Multi-level Linguistic Alignment in Child-adult Conversations 儿童-成人对话多层次语言对齐的发展
T. Misiek, Benoit Favre, Abdellah Fourtassi
Interactive alignment is a major mechanism of linguistic coordination. Here we study the way this mechanism emerges in development across the lexical, syntactic, and conceptual levels. We leverage NLP tools to analyze a large-scale corpus of child-adult conversations between 2 and 5 years old. We found that, across development, children align consistently to adults above chance and that adults align consistently more to children than vice versa (even controlling for language production abilities). Besides these consistencies, we found a diversity of developmental trajectories across linguistic levels. These corpus-based findings provide strong support for an early onset of multi-level linguistic alignment in children and invites new experimental work.
交互对齐是语言协调的主要机制。在这里,我们研究了这种机制在词汇、句法和概念层面上的发展方式。我们利用NLP工具来分析2至5岁儿童-成人对话的大规模语料库。我们发现,在整个发展过程中,儿童与成人的一致性高于偶然,成人与儿童的一致性高于反之(即使控制语言产生能力)。除了这些一致性之外,我们还发现了不同语言水平的发展轨迹的多样性。这些基于语料库的发现为儿童多层次语言对齐的早期发生提供了强有力的支持,并引发了新的实验工作。

Word Co-occurrence in Child-directed Speech Predicts Children’s Free Word Associations 儿童导向言语中的词共现预示着儿童的自由词联想
Abdellah Fourtassi
The free association task has been very influential both in cognitive science and in computational linguistics. However, little research has been done to study how free associations develop in childhood. The current work focuses on the developmental hypothesis according to which free word associations emerge by mirroring the co-occurrence distribution of children’s linguistic environment. I trained a distributional semantic model on a large corpus of child language and I tested if it could predict children’s responses. The results largely supported the hypothesis: Co-occurrence-based similarity was a strong predictor of children’s associative behavior even controlling for other possible predictors such as phonological similarity, word frequency, and word length. I discuss the findings in the light of theories of conceptual development.
自由联想任务在认知科学和计算语言学中都有着重要的影响。然而,关于儿童时期自由联想如何发展的研究却很少。目前的工作主要集中在发展假说,根据该假说,自由词联想是通过反映儿童语言环境的共现分布而出现的。我在一个大的儿童语言语料库上训练了一个分布式语义模型,并测试了它是否能预测儿童的反应。结果在很大程度上支持了这一假设:基于共现的相似性是儿童联想行为的一个强有力的预测因素,即使控制了其他可能的预测因素,如语音相似性、词频和单词长度。我从概念发展理论的角度来讨论这些发现。

The Active-Filler Strategy in a Move-Eager Left-Corner Minimalist Grammar Parser 动态左上角极简语法分析器中的活动填充策略
Tim Hunter, M. Stanojevic, E. Stabler
Recent psycholinguistic evidence suggests that human parsing of moved elements is ‘active’, and perhaps even ‘hyper-active’: it seems that a leftward-moved object is related to a verbal position rapidly, perhaps even before the transitivity information associated with the verb is available to the listener. This paper presents a formal, sound and complete parser for Minimalist Grammars whose search space contains branching points that we can identify as the locus of the decision to perform this kind of active gap-finding. This brings formal models of parsing into closer contact with recent psycholinguistic theorizing than was previously possible.
最近的心理语言学证据表明,人类对移动元素的解析是“活跃的”,甚至可能是“过度活跃的”:似乎一个向左移动的物体与一个动词位置的联系是迅速的,甚至可能在听者获得与动词相关的及物性信息之前。本文提出了一种形式、健全和完整的极简语法解析器,它的搜索空间包含分支点,我们可以将这些分支点识别为执行这种主动间隙查找的决策轨迹。这使得解析的正式模型与最近的心理语言学理论的联系比以前更紧密。

Surprisal and Interference Effects of Case Markers in Hindi Word Order 印地语词序中格标记的意外和干扰效应
Sidharth Ranjan, Sumeet Agarwal, Rajakrishnan Rajkumar
Based on the Production-Distribution-Comprehension (PDC) account of language processing, we formulate two distinct hypotheses about case marking, word order choices and processing in Hindi. Our first hypothesis is that Hindi tends to optimize for processing efficiency at both lexical and syntactic levels. We quantify the role of case markers in this process. For the task of predicting the reference sentence occurring in a corpus (amidst meaning-equivalent grammatical variants) using a machine learning model, surprisal estimates from an artificial version of the language (i.e., Hindi without any case markers) result in lower prediction accuracy compared to natural Hindi. Our second hypothesis is that Hindi tends to minimize interference due to case markers while ordering preverbal constituents. We show that Hindi tends to avoid placing next to each other constituents whose heads are marked by identical case inflections.

基于语言加工的生产-分布-理解(PDC)理论,我们对印地语的分格标注、词序选择和加工提出了两种截然不同的假设。我们的第一个假设是,印地语倾向于在词汇和句法层面上优化处理效率。我们量化了案例标记在这一过程中的作用。对于使用机器学习模型预测语料库中出现的参考句子(在意义相等的语法变体中)的任务,来自人工语言版本(即没有任何大小写标记的印地语)的意外估计导致与自然印地语相比的预测准确性较低。我们的第二个假设是,印地语倾向于在排序前语成分时尽量减少大小写标记的干扰。我们表明,印地语倾向于避免放置相邻的组成部分,他们的头部有相同的屈折。我们的研究结果坚持PDC假设,并讨论了它们对语言产生、学习和普遍性的影响。

Our first hypothesis is that Hindi tends to optimize for processing efficiency at both lexical and syntactic levels. We quantify the role of case markers in this process. For the task of predicting the reference sentence occurring in a corpus (amidst meaning-equivalent grammatical variants) using a machine learning model, surprisal estimates from an artificial version of the language (i.e., Hindi without any case markers) result in lower prediction accuracy compared to natural Hindi. Our second hypothesis is that Hindi tends to minimize interference due to case markers while ordering preverbal constituents. We show that Hindi tends to avoid placing next to each other constituents whose heads are marked by identical case inflections. Our findings adhere to PDC assumptions and we discuss their implications for language production, learning and universals.","PeriodicalId":428409,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Workshop on Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130515008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
