Chinese Language Processing Based on Stroke Representation and Multidimensional Representation

The Effect of Visual Representation, Textual Representation, and Glossing on Second Language Vocabulary Learning

In this study, the researcher chose three different vocabulary techniques (Visual Representation, Textual Enhancement, and Glossing) and compared them with traditional method of teaching vocabulary. 80 advanced EFL Learners were assigned as four intact groups (three experimental and one control group) through using a proficiency test and a vocabulary test as a pre-test. In the visual group, stu...

Lexical Knowledge Representation and Natural Language Processing

Pustejovsky, J. and B. Boguraev, Lexical knowledge representation and natural language processing, Artificial Intelligence 63 (1993) 193-223. Traditionally, semantic information in computational lexicons is limited to notions such as selectional restrictions or domain-specific constraints, encoded in a "static" representation. This information is typically used in natural language processing by...

Connectionist perspectives on language learning, representation and processing.

The field of formal linguistics was founded on the premise that language is mentally represented as a deterministic symbolic grammar. While this approach has captured many important characteristics of the world's languages, it has also led to a tendency to focus theoretical questions on the correct formalization of grammatical rules while also de-emphasizing the role of learning and statistics ...

The Effect of Semantic Transfer on Iranian EFL Learners’ Lexical Representation and Processing

NKRL, a Knowledge Representation Language for Narrative Natural Language Processing

NKRL is a conceptual language which intends to provide a normalised, pragmatic description of the semantic contents (in short, the "meaning") of NL narrative documents. We introduce firstly the general architecture of NKRL, and we give some examples of its characteristic features. We supply, afterward, some sketchy information about the inference techniques and the NLP procedures associated wit...
