In a given word, one can count the number of occurrences of other words as a scattered subword. These counts can be “added” and/or “multiplied.” A subword history gives an instruction of what words to be counted and how these counts to be added and multiplied with other counts or integer constants, and hence, determines its unique value in a given word. Mateescu, Salomaa, and Yu asked: “is it d...

We propose a convolutional neural network, named genCNN, for word sequence prediction. Different from previous work on neural networkbased language modeling and generation (e.g., RNN or LSTM), we choose not to greedily summarize the history of words as a fixed length vector. Instead, we use a convolutional neural network to predict the next word with the history of words of variable length. Als...

A historical dictionary is a dictionary which deals with the detailed history of words since their first appearance in language as well as the evolution of their meaning and use throughout history. To create such a dictionary, we are bound to follow many steps. As part of these steps, the extracting of the appropriate meaning of a given word occurring in a given context, named also word sense d...

The formation of sentences is a highly structured and history-dependent process. The probability of using a specific word in a sentence strongly depends on the 'history' of word usage earlier in that sentence. We study a simple history-dependent model of text generation assuming that the sample-space of word usage reduces along sentence formation, on average. We first show that the model explai...

Three experiments investigated competition between word-object pairings in a cross-situational word-learning paradigm. Adults were presented with One-Word pairings, where a single word labeled a single object, and Two-Word pairings, where two words labeled a single object. In addition to measuring learning of these two pairing types, we measured competition between words that refer to the same ...

This article is a study of the historical aspects that gave rise to the term 'preembryo'. We look at how the appearance of this term was related with attempts to justify ethical aspects associated with the destruction of embryos in the context of in vitro fecundation. The first scientific article found using this term was written by Clifford Grobstein in 1979 and not, as many people think, the ...

We present a simple history-based model for sentence generation from LFG f-structures, which improves on the accuracy of previous models by breaking down PCFG independence assumptions so that more f-structure conditioning context is used in the prediction of grammar rule expansions. In addition, we present work on experiments with named entities and other multi-word units, showing a statistical...

Today the development of a unique professional language and publishing of professional and scientific publications is the basis of every profession, including the nursing profession. The task of the unique language specific to the nursing profession is to describe the nursing profession (to make it more familiar to the other team members and clients/customers), improve communication between nur...
