This work shows how to improve state-of-the-art monolingual natural language processing models using unannotated bilingual text. We build a multiview learning objective that enforces agreement between monolingual and bilingual models. In our method the first, monolingual view consists of supervised predictors learned separately for each language. The second, bilingual view consists of log-linea...

In recent years, multi-source clustering has received a significant amount of attention. Several multi-source clustering methods have been developed from different perspectives. In this paper, aiming at addressing the problem of Chinese–Tibetan bilingual document clustering, a novel bilingual clustering scheme is proposed, which can well capture both the intralingua document structures and inte...

The bilingual advantage-enhanced cognitive control relative to monolinguals-possibly occurs due to experience engaging general cognitive mechanisms in order to manage two languages. Supporting this hypothesis is evidence that bimodal (signed language-spoken language) bilinguals do not demonstrate such an advantage, presumably because the distinct language modalities reduce conflict and control ...

one of the most controversial and unresolved questions in bilingual first language acquisition (henceforth bfla) is whether bilingual children develop one mixed or two independent linguistic systems. many scholars in the lield of bfla arc in tavor of the one-system hypothesis (leopold 1970; swain and wesche, 1975; volterra and tacschner, j 987; grosjean, 1982; tacschncr, 1983: mclaughlin, 1984:...

We introduce TRAAM, or Transduction RAAM, a fully bilingual generalization of Pollack’s (1990) monolingual Recursive Auto-Associative Memory neural network model, in which each distributed vector represents a bilingual constituent—i.e., an instance of a transduction rule, which specifies a relation between two monolingual constituents and how their subconstituents should be permuted. Bilingual ...

This paper proposes a method using the existing Rule-based Machine Translation (RBMT) system as a black box to produce synthetic bilingual corpus, which will be used as training data for the Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) system. We use the existing RBMT system to translate the monolingual corpus into synthetic bilingual corpus. With the synthetic bilingual corpus, we can build an SMT sy...

This article describes the development and evolution of governing boards and summarizes critical findings from a research study on hospital governing boards. The purpose of the research was to examine factors that measure performance of governing boards and the relationship of governing board effectiveness to the organizational performance of hospitals. Board leaders from 64 nonprofit hospitals...

Is the developing bilingual brain fundamentally similar to the monolingual brain (e.g., neural resources supporting language and cognition)? Or, does early-life bilingual language experience change the brain? If so, how does age of first bilingual exposure impact neural activation for language? We compared how typically-developing bilingual and monolingual children (ages 7-10) and adults recrui...

This study investigates gender spillovers from women on supervisory boards to management in a two-tier system with employee codetermination. The board consists of nominating committee mainly responsible for the appointment directors board. By combining similarity attraction theory power theory, we predict that only female shareholder representatives who serve drive positive effect presence boar...
