Paraphrasing with Bilingual Parallel Corpora

TL;DR: This work defines a paraphrase probability that allows paraphrases extracted from a bilingual parallel corpus to be ranked using translation probabilities, and shows how it can be refined to take contextual information into account.
Journal ArticleDOI

Many analysts, one dataset: Making transparent how variations in analytical choices affect results

Raphael Silberzahn, +65 more
TL;DR: In this paper, 29 teams involving 61 analysts used the same data set to address the same research question: whether soccer referees are more likely to give red cards to dark-skin-toned players than to light-skinned-players.

Stored Word Sequences in Language Learning The Effect of Familiarity on Children's Repetition of Four-Word Combinations

TL;DR: This study tested the assumption that children store utterances as wholes by testing memory for familiar sequences of words by using a newly available, dense corpus of child-directed speech to identify frequently occurring chunks in the input and matched them to infrequent sequences.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

An Empirical Model of Multiword Expression Decomposability

TL;DR: A construction-inspecific model of multiword expression decomposability based on latent semantic analysis is presented, and evidence is furnished for the calculated similarities being correlated with the semantic relational content of WordNet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling children's early grammatical knowledge.
