Is Word Segmentation Child's Play in All Languages?
When learning language, infants need to break down the flow of input speech into minimal word-like units, a process best described as unsupervised bottom-up segmentation.
Modeling infant segmentation of two morphologically diverse languages
As predicted, results for the simpler Japanese are better than those for the more complex Chintang.
Machine Learning Models of Universal Grammar Parameter Dependencies
The use of parameters in the description of natural language syntax has to balance between the need to discriminate among (sometimes subtly different) languages, which can be seen as a cross-linguistic version of Chomsky{'}s (1964) descriptive adequacy, and the complexity of the acquisition task that a large number of parameters would imply, which is a problem for explanatory adequacy.
The Role of Prosody and Speech Register in Word Segmentation: A Computational Modelling Perspective
This study explores the role of speech register and prosody for the task of word segmentation.
La reconnaissance des mots dans la parole accentu\'ee : Une \'etude en laboratoire et \`a l'ext\'erieur. (Mispronunciations slow down word recognition: A study using touchscreens in the lab and the real world)
Nous avons constat{\'e} que des d{\'e}viations de prononciation dans la parole accentu{\'e}e ralentissent la reconnaissance des mots, chez des enfants et adultes, tant dans le laboratoire que dans des environnements naturels.
