Probabilistic Induction of Metrical Trees for Word Stress Assignment
An algorithm for word stress assignment in German compounds is introduced. First, a metrical tree is automatically derived from adjacent morpheme cohesion scores which are based on co-occurrence statistics. This tree is used to identify the stressed compound part by applying the compound stress rule of metrical phonology. Then the stressed syllable is identified within this compound part by mea...
متن کاملSemi-automatic Modeling by Constraint Acquisition
Constraint programming is a technology which is now widely used to solve combinatorial problems in industrial applications. However, using it requires considerable knowledge and expertise in the field of constraint reasoning. This paper introduces a framework for automatically learning constraint networks from sets of instances that are either acceptable solutions or non-desirable assignments o...
متن کاملModeling Lexical Acquisition Through Networks
We examine the nature of phonological and semantic similarity in early language learning and how the use of this information might change over the course of development. To this end, we represent the lexicon as either a phonological or semantic network and model the growth of this network. Constructing normative vocabularies from the Communicative Development Inventory norms (CDI), we utilize a...
متن کاملFeature Induction for Online Constraint-based Phonology Acquisition
Log-linear models provide a convenient method for coupling existing machine learning methods to constraint-based linguistic formalisms like optimality theory and harmonic grammar. While the learning methods themselves have been well studied in this domain, the question of how these constraints originate is often left unanswered. We present a novel, error-driven approach to constraint induction ...
متن کاملConstraint acquisition
Constraint programming is used to model and solve complex combinatorial problems. The modeling task requires some expertise in constraint programming. This requirement is a bottleneck to the broader uptake of constraint technology. Several approaches have been proposed to assist the non-expert user in the modelling task. This paper presents the basic architecture for acquiring constraint networ...
