Active word learning under uncertain input conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we investigate a computational model of word learning that is cognitively plausible. The model is partly trained on incorrect form-referent pairings, modelling the input to a word-learning child that may contain such mismatches due to inattention to a joint communicative scene. We introduce a procedure of active learning, based on attested cognitive processes. We then show how this procedure can help overcome the unreliability of the input by detecting and correcting the mismatches by reliance on previously built up experience.

Active Learning for Word Sense Disambiguation with Methods for Addressing the Class Imbalance Problem
In this paper, we analyze the effect of resampling techniques, including undersampling and over-sampling used in active learning for word sense disambiguation (WSD). Experimental results show that under-sampling causes negative effects on active learning, but over-sampling is a relatively good choice. To alleviate the withinclass imbalance problem of over-sampling, we propose a bootstrap-based ...
متن کاملActive Semi-Supervised Learning for Improving Word Alignment
Word alignment models form an important part of building statistical machine translation systems. Semi-supervised word alignment aims to improve the accuracy of automatic word alignment by incorporating full or partial alignments acquired from humans. Such dedicated elicitation effort is often expensive and depends on availability of bilingual speakers for the language-pair. In this paper we st...
متن کاملRobust DEA under discrete uncertain data: a case study of Iranian electricity distribution companies
Crisp input and output data are fundamentally indispensable in traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA). However, the real-world problems often deal with imprecise or ambiguous data. In this paper, we propose a novel robust data envelopment model (RDEA) to investigate the efficiencies of decision-making units (DMU) when there are discrete uncertain input and output data. The method is based ...
متن کاملActive Learning-Based Elicitation for Semi-Supervised Word Alignment
Semi-supervised word alignment aims to improve the accuracy of automatic word alignment by incorporating full or partial manual alignments. Motivated by standard active learning query sampling frameworks like uncertainty-, marginand query-by-committee sampling we propose multiple query strategies for the alignment link selection task. Our experiments show that by active selection of uncertain a...
متن کاملOnline active learning of decision trees with evidential data
Learning from uncertain data has been drawing increasing attention in recent years. In this paper, we propose a tree induction approach which can not only handle uncertain data, but also furthermore reduce epistemic uncertainty by querying the most valuable uncertain instances within the learning procedure. We extend classical decision trees to the framework of belief functions to deal with a v...
