Meeting Mr Davis vs Mr Davin: effects of name frequency on learning proper names in young and older adults.
Two theoretical frameworks relevant to proper name learning in ageing make competing predictions about the effects of name frequency. Under an inhibition model, common (high-frequency; HF) proper names will be harder to learn and remember than rare (low-frequency; LF) names, whereas under a transmission deficit model, HF names will have the advantage. Young adults (ages 18-31) and two groups of...
متن کاملProper Name Extraction from Non-Journalistic Texts
This paper discusses the influence of the corpus on the automatic identification of proper names in texts. Techniques developed for the newswire genre are generally not sufficient to deal with larger corpora containing texts that do not follow strict writing constraints (for example, e-mail messages, transcriptions of oral conversations, etc). After a brief review of the research performed on n...
متن کاملProper name knowledge acquisition for text understanding
Current work in proper name analysis is focused on identification and limited categorisation of names. Some research has been carried out in acquiring knowledge of proper names from the contextual information within texts. In this study, we investigate how to transform human-oriented compilations, which contain a rich knowledge of proper names, into formallyrepresented knowledge for computer co...
متن کاملAn organ system without a proper name
As every high-school graduate knows, animals are classified into two large groups ñ those that have vertebrae and those that do not. What every high-school graduate should also know (but probably doesnít) is that the vertebrates are further divided into jawless (Agnatha) and jawed (Gnathostomata). The jawed vertebrates are distinguished not only by the possession of jaws, but also by a suite of...
متن کاملRetrieval Effectiveness of Proper Name Search Methods
Searching for names — e.g., author names or company names — is still an open problem. In this paper we review known similarity measures. These measures deal with phonetic similarity, typing errors and plain string similarity. We show experimentally that all three approaches lead to significantly higher retrieval quality than plain identity. Further improvements are possible by combining differe...
