Most existing methods do not make full use of different types information sources to extract effective features for relation extraction. This paper proposes a multi-feature fusion model based on raw input sentences and external knowledge sources, which deeply integrates diverse lexical, semantic, syntactic into deep neural network models. Specifically, our extracts lexical granularity from the ...

Changes in language processing and production accompanying aging have most commonly been interpreted as evidence for age-related cognitive decline. A recent proposal (Ramscar et al., 2014) challenges that interpretation, asserting instead that such changes emerge as a consequence of—and in order to support—processes of lifelong learning like continued vocabulary growth. Under this account, the ...

Successful speech recognition for children requires large training data with sufficient speaker variability. The collection of such a database children’s voices is challenging and very expensive zero/low resource language like Punjabi. In this paper, the scarcity issue low resourced Punjabi addressed through two levels augmentation. original corpus first augmented by modifying prosody parameter...

The Writing Pal is an intelligent tutoring system that provides writing strategy training. A large part of its artificial intelligence resides in the natural language processing algorithms to assess essay quality and guide feedback to students. Because writing is often highly nuanced and subjective, the development of these algorithms must consider a broad array of linguistic, rhetorical, and c...

The study of lexical bundles, among types of text analysis, is gaining importance over the others in the last century. The present study employed a frequency-based analysis approach to the use of lexical bundles. The discussion section of 60 political science articles, with corpora around 253,063 words were investigated in three aspects of structure, form, and function of lexical bundles. The p...

the objective of this paper ts to investigate into the lexical collocation in persian language. to achieve this goal , the existing literature will be reviewed, so as to put forward the relation between lexical collocation and the theory of semantic fields

Researchers stated that learning and applying certain set of lexical bundles of native lecturers by non-native lecturers would help students improve their proficiency through incidental vocabulary input. The present study shed light on the lexical bundles in hard science lectures used by Native and Non-native lecturers in international universities with the main purpose of analyzing the structu...
