Accelerating Reinforcement Learning through Implicit Imitation
Imitation can be viewed as a means of enhancing learning in multiagent environments. It augments an agent’s ability to learn useful behaviors by making intelligent use of the knowledge implicit in behaviors demonstrated by cooperative teachers or other more experienced agents. We propose and study a formal model of implicit imitation that can accelerate reinforcement learning dramatically in ce...

Previous experiments examined the effect of perceived social attractiveness on the tendency to imitate someone else's speech and found that vocal imitation increased when perceived attractivene...
متن کاملBitonal pitch accent and phonological alignment in
This study presents new data on pitch accent (PA) alignment in Sardinian, a Romance language spoken in Italy. We propose that what has been described as “stress shift” involved in encliticization processes is not a change in the word level stress, but a change in the association of the pitch accent. Our claim is that word level stress remains in situ, and the falling tune which our data exhibit...
متن کاملImproving accent identification through knowledge of English syllable structure
This paper studies the structure of foreign-accented read English speech. A system for accent identification is constructed by combining linguistic theory with statistical analysis. Results demonstrate that the linguistic theory is reflected in real speech data and its application improves accent identification. The work discussed here combines and applies previous research in language identifi...
متن کاملAssessing Knowledge Management Services through Discourse Analysis
This paper presents a case study in which discourse analysis was used to suggest process improvements in two knowledge management services (KMS). It employs linguistic analysis as the means for assessing the degree to which each KMS is aligned to the users’ needs. Areas requiring improvement are identified linguistically based on the differences between users’ experience of the services and the...
