This paper presents a computational model ofverb acquisitionwhich uses what we willcallthe principle of structured overeommitment to eliminate the need for negative evidence. The ...
This paper conjectures a computational account of how children might learn the meanings of words in their native language. First, a simplified version of the lexical acquisition t...
We describe a method for the fully automatic learning of hierarchical finite state translation models. The input to the method is transcribed speech utterances and their correspon...
Dynamic lexical acquisition is a procedure where the lexicon of an NLP system is updated automatically during sentence analysis. In our system, new words and new attributes are pr...
