Categorizing atrial fibrillation via Symbolic Pattern Recognition

In this research article, we apply clustering within the Symbolic Pattern Recognition (SPR) framework to problems related to classifying different clinical categories of atrial fibrillation by modeling the changes in electrical activity of the heart. SPR characterizes a sequential dataset by modeling the transition behavior exhibited by patterns of symbols; clearly, this technique requires cont...

Processing Pluralities: Syntax and the Lexicon

Late distributive disambiguation, (3), increases reading measures (first pass, total times, regressions) compared to late collective disambiguation, (4). Early distributive disambiguation, (1), does not significantly increase reading measures compared to early collective disambiguation, (2). Interpretation: Potentially ambiguous predicates are interpreted collectively by the processor ⇒ garden-...

Remarks on Processing, Constriaints, and the Lexicon

Linguists have long recognized the desirability of embedding a theory of grammar within a theory of linguistic performance (scc, e.g., Chomsky (1965;10-15)). It has bccn widely assumed by transformationalists that an adequate model of a language user would inchlde as one component some sort of generative granlm:.~r. Yet transformational grammarians have devoted relatively little energy to the p...

Incremental Processing and the Hierarchical Lexicon

Hierarchical lexicon structures are not only of great importance for the nonredundant representation of lexical information, they may also contribute to the efficiency of the actual processing of natural language. Two parsing techniques that render the parsing process efficient are presented. Windowing is a technique for incrementally accessing the hierarchical lexicon. Lexical preferencing imp...
