A Pseudo-Deterministic Model of Human Language Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes, empirically motivates and describes a pseudo-deterministic model of Human Language Processing (HLP) implemented in the ACT-R cognitive architecture (Anderson, 2007). The model reflects the integration of a highly parallel, probabilistic activation and selection mechanism and non-monotonic context accommodation mechanism (with limited parallelism) with what is otherwise a serial, deterministic processor. The overall effect is an HLP which presents the appearance and efficiency of deterministic processing, despite the rampant ambiguity which makes truly deterministic processing impossible.

Context Accommodation in Human Language Processing
This paper describes a model of human language processing (HLP) which is incremental and interactive, in concert with prevailing psycholinguistic evidence. To achieve this, the model combines an incremental, serial, pseudo-deterministic processing mechanism, which relies on a non-monotonic mechanism of context accommodation, with an interactive mechanism that uses all available information in p...
متن کاملA New Hybrid Meta-Heuristics Approach to Solve the Parallel Machine Scheduling Problem Considering Human Resiliency Engineering
This paper proposes a mixed integer programming model to solve a non-identical parallel machine (NIPM) scheduling with sequence-dependent set-up times and human resiliency engineering. The presented mathematical model is formulated to consider human factors including Learning, Teamwork and Awareness. Moreover, processing time of jobs are assumed to be non-deterministic and dependent to their st...
متن کاملImplicational Scaling of Reading Comprehension Construct: Is it Deterministic or Probabilistic?
In English as a Second Language Teaching and Testing situations, it is common to infer about learners’ reading ability based on his or her total score on a reading test. This assumes the unidimensional and reproducible nature of reading items. However, few researches have been conducted to probe the issue through psychometric analyses. In the present study, the IELTS exemplar module C (1994) wa...
متن کاملAdvantages of ACT-R over Prolog for Natural Language Analysis
This paper discusses the advantages of using the ACT-R cognitive architecture over the Prolog programming language for the research and development of a large-scale, functional, cognitively motivated model of natural language analysis. Although Prolog was developed for Natural Language Processing (NLP), it lacks any probabilistic mechanisms for dealing with ambiguity and relies on failure detec...
متن کاملCollocational Processing in Two Languages: A psycholinguistic comparison of monolinguals and bilinguals
With the renewed interest in the field of second language learning for the knowledge of collocating words, research findings in favour of holistic processing of formulaic language could support the idea that these language units facilitate efficient language processing. This study investigated the difference between processing of a first language (L1) and a second language (L2) of congruent col...
