Evaluating Neural Language Models as Cognitive Models of Language Acquisition

no code implementations31 Oct 2023 Héctor Javier Vázquez Martínez, Annika Lea Heuser, Charles Yang, Jordan Kodner

The success of neural language models (LMs) on many technological tasks has brought about their potential relevance as scientific theories of language despite some clear differences between LM training and child language acquisition.

Language Acquisition

The Greedy and Recursive Search for Morphological Productivity

2 code implementations12 May 2021 Caleb Belth, Sarah Payne, Deniz Beser, Jordan Kodner, Charles Yang

As children acquire the knowledge of their language's morphology, they invariably discover the productive processes that can generalize to new words.

A Grounded Approach to Modeling Generic Knowledge Acquisition

1 code implementation7 May 2021 Deniz Beser, Joe Cecil, Marjorie Freedman, Jacob Lichtefeld, Mitch Marcus, Sarah Payne, Charles Yang

We introduce and implement a cognitively plausible model for learning from generic language, statements that express generalizations about members of a category and are an important aspect of concept development in language acquisition (Carlson & Pelletier, 1995; Gelman, 2009).

ADAM: A Sandbox for Implementing Language Learning

1 code implementation5 May 2021 Ryan Gabbard, Deniz Beser, Jacob Lichtefeld, Joe Cecil, Mitch Marcus, Sarah Payne, Charles Yang, Marjorie Freedman

We present ADAM, a software system for designing and running child language learning experiments in Python.

Modeling Morphological Typology for Unsupervised Learning of Language Morphology

no code implementations ACL 2020 Hongzhi Xu, Jordan Kodner, Mitchell Marcus, Charles Yang

This paper describes a language-independent model for fully unsupervised morphological analysis that exploits a universal framework leveraging morphological typology.

Interpretable inverse design of particle spectral emissivity using machine learning

1 code implementation11 Feb 2020 Mahmoud Elzouka, Charles Yang, Adrian Albert, Sean Lubner, Ravi S. Prasher

We then use a combination of decision tree and random forest models to solve both the forward problem (particle design in, optical properties out) and inverse problem (desired optical properties in, range of particle designs out).

Modeling Hierarchical Syntactic Structures in Morphological Processing

no code implementations WS 2019 Yohei Oseki, Charles Yang, Alec Marantz

Sentences are represented as hierarchical syntactic structures, which have been successfully modeled in sentence processing.

Unsupervised Morphology Learning with Statistical Paradigms

1 code implementation COLING 2018 Hongzhi Xu, Mitchell Marcus, Charles Yang, Lyle Ungar

This paper describes an unsupervised model for morphological segmentation that exploits the notion of paradigms, which are sets of morphological categories (e. g., suffixes) that can be applied to a homogeneous set of words (e. g., nouns or verbs).
