The purpose of this study was to investigate the visual discrimination abilities of regular class children with varying levels of word recognition skill and of special class children. Word recognition and intelligence scores were obtained on 90 primary-aged children in regular classes and on seven children in a special class. The subjects were required to match twelve standard graphemes with an...

Recently, Jones et al. introduced the study of urepresentable graphs, where u is a word over {1, 2} containing at least one 1. The notion of a u-representable graph is a far-reaching generalization of the notion of a word-representable graph studied in the literature in a series of papers. Jones et al. have shown that any graph is 11 · · · 1-representable assuming that the number of 1s is at le...

Prior work has suggested that open- and closed-class words elicit negative components in the event-related potential (ERP) that differ in timing and scalp distribution. We tested this hypothesis against the possibility that the word-class effects are attributable to quantitative differences in word length and frequency. Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded from 13 scalp sites whi...

Out-of-vocabulary (OOV) problems are frequently seen when adapting a language model to another task where there are some observed word classes but few individual words, such as names, places and other proper nouns. Simple task adaptation cannot handle this problem properly. In this paper, for task dependent OOV words in the noun category, we adopt a hierarchical language model. In this modeling...

Keyphrases: Intrinsic and extrinsic evaluations. Effect of hyperparameters on analogy evaluation tasks. Correlation of human judgment with word vector distances. Dealing with ambiguity in word using contexts. Window classification. This set of notes extends our discussion of word vectors (interchangeably called word embeddings) by seeing how they can be evaluated intrinsically and extrinsically...

The most of the previous work on the complexity of in nite words has measured the complexity as descriptional one, i. e. an in nite word w had a \small" complexity if it was generated by a morphism or another simple machinery, and w has been considered to be \complex" if one needs to use more complex devices (gsm's) to generate it. In [J. Hromkovi c, J. Karhum aki, A. Lepist o: \Comparing des...

This study examines prosodic correlates of the givenness of discourse entities in German radio news speech. The material comes from the Stuttgart Radio News Corpus. Both GToBI intonation labels and a Fujisaki-style parametrization of the intonation contour were examined. We find strong word-class specific accentuation defaults; the influence of entity status is rather small and varies with word...
