A surprisal–duration trade-off across and within the world’s languages
We thus conclude that there is strong evidence of a surprisal–duration trade-off in operation, both across and within the world’s languages.
Systematic Inequalities in Language Technology Performance across the World's Languages
Natural language processing (NLP) systems have become a central technology in communication, education, medicine, artificial intelligence, and many other domains of research and development.
A surprisal--duration trade-off across and within the world's languages
We thus conclude that there is strong evidence of a surprisal--duration trade-off in operation, both across and within the world's languages.
How (Non-)Optimal is the Lexicon?
Examining corpora from 7 typologically diverse languages, we use those upper bounds to quantify the lexicon's optimality and to explore the relative costs of major constraints on natural codes.
On the Interpretability and Significance of Bias Metrics in Texts: a PMI-based Approach
In recent years, word embeddings have been widely used to measure biases in texts.
Finding Concept-specific Biases in Form--Meaning Associations
It is not a new idea that there are small, cross-linguistic associations between the forms and meanings of words.
Speakers Fill Lexical Semantic Gaps with Context
For a language to be clear and efficiently encoded, we posit that the lexical ambiguity of a word type should correlate with how much information context provides about it, on average.
On the Relationships Between the Grammatical Genders of Inanimate Nouns and Their Co-Occurring Adjectives and Verbs
We also find that there are statistically significant relationships between the grammatical genders of inanimate nouns and the verbs that take those nouns as direct objects, as indirect objects, and as subjects.
Quantifying the Semantic Core of Gender Systems
To that end, we use canonical correlation analysis to correlate the grammatical gender of inanimate nouns with an externally grounded definition of their lexical semantics.
