Inducing Syntactic Categories by Context Distribution Clustering
This paper addresses the issue of the automatic induction of syntactic categories from unanno- tared corpora. Previous techniques give good results, but fail to cope well with ambiguity or rare …...
An Incremental Bayesian Model for Learning Syntactic Categories
We present an incremental Bayesian model for the unsupervised learning of syntactic cate- gories from raw text. The model draws infor- mation from the distributional cues of words within an …...
Reading behavior predicts syntactic categories
It is well-known that readers are less likely to fixate their gaze on closed class syn- tactic categories such as prepositions and pronouns. This paper investigates to what extent the …...
Learning grammatical categories using paradigmatic representations: Substitute words for language acquisition
AbstractLearning syntactic categories is a fundamental task in language acquisition. Previous studies show that co-occurrence patterns of preceding and following words are essential to group words into categories. However, the …...
Syntax and Geometry of Information
AbstractThis paper presents an information-theoretical model of syntactic generalization. We study syntactic generalization from the perspective of the capacity to disentangle semantic and structural information, emulating the human capacity to …...
