Chunking or not chunking? How do we find words in artificial language learning?
What is the nature of the representations acquired in implicit statistical learning? Recent results in the field of language learning have shown that adults and infants are able to find the words of an artificial language when exposed to a continuous auditory sequence consisting in a random ordering of these words. Such performance can only be based on processing the transitional probabilities ...
متن کاملLearning Artificial Grammars With Competitive Chunking
When exposed to a regular stimulus field, for instance, that generated by an artificial grammar, subjects unintentionally learn to respond efficiently to the underlying structure (Miller, 1958; Reber 1967). We explored the hypothesis that the learning process is chunking and that grammatical knowledge is implicitly encoded in a hierarchical network of chunks. We trained subjects on exemplar sen...
متن کاملChunking Mechanisms and Learning
Definition A chunk is meaningful unit of information built from smaller pieces of information, and chunking is the process of creating a new chunk. Thus, a chunk can be seen as a collection of elements that have strong associations with one another, but weak associations with elements belonging to other chunks. Chunks, which can be of different sizes, are used by memory systems and more general...
متن کاملChunking mechanisms in human learning.
Pioneering work in the 1940s and 1950s suggested that the concept of 'chunking' might be important in many processes of perception, learning and cognition in humans and animals. We summarize here the major sources of evidence for chunking mechanisms, and consider how such mechanisms have been implemented in computational models of the learning process. We distinguish two forms of chunking: the ...
متن کاملChunking: an unsupervised method to find errors in text
We describe a method to use a chunker for grammar checking. Once a chunker is available the method is fully unsupervised, only unannotated text is required for training. The method is very simple, compare the output of the chunker on new texts to the output on known correct text. Rare chunk sequences that occur in the new texts are reported as suspected errors. By automatically modifying the ch...
