Words are the essence of communication: they are the building blocks of any language. Learning the meaning of words is thus one of the most important aspects of language acquisiti...
Abstract. We present a mathematical model of cross-situational learning, in which we quantify the learnability of words and vocabularies. We find that high levels of uncertainty ar...

Several mathematical distances between probabilistic languages have been investigated in the literature, motivated by applications in language modeling, computational biology, syn...
There are two main topics in this paper: (i) Vietnamese words are recognized and sentences are segmented into words by using probabilistic models; (ii) the optimum probabilistic mo...
Large vocabulary speech recognition systems fail to recognize words beyond their vocabulary, many of which are information rich terms, like named entities or foreign words. Hybrid...
