Language Polygenesis: a Probabilistic Model
Monogenesis of language is widely accepted, but the conventional argument seems to be mistaken; a simple probabilistic model shows that polygenesis is likely. Other prehistoric inventions are discussed, as are problems in tracing linguistic lineages. Language is a system of representations; within such a system, words can evoke complex and systematic responses. Along with its social functions, ...
متن کاملA Neural Probabilistic Language Model
A goal of statistical language modeling is to learn the joint probability function of sequences of words in a language. This is intrinsically difficult because of the curse of dimensionality: a word sequence on which the model will be tested is likely to be different from all the word sequences seen during training. Traditional but very successful approaches based on n-grams obtain generalizati...
متن کاملEncoding Probabilistic Causal Model in Probabilistic Action Language
Pearl’s probabilistic causal model has been used in many domains to reason about causality. Pearl’s treatment of actions is very different from the way actions are represented explicitly in action languages. In this paper we show how to encode Pearl’s probabilistic causal model in the action language PAL thus relating this two distinct approaches to reasoning about actions. Introduction and mot...
متن کاملNeural Probabilistic Language Model for System Combination
This paper gives the system description of the neural probabilistic language modeling (NPLM) team of Dublin City University for our participation in the system combination task in the Second Workshop on Applying Machine Learning Techniques to Optimise the Division of Labour in Hybrid MT (ML4HMT-12). We used the information obtained by NPLM as meta information to the system combination module. F...
متن کاملHierarchical Probabilistic Neural Network Language Model
In recent years, variants of a neural network architecture for statistical language modeling have been proposed and successfully applied, e.g. in the language modeling component of speech recognizers. The main advantage of these architectures is that they learn an embedding for words (or other symbols) in a continuous space that helps to smooth the language model and provide good generalization...
