We Need to Talk about Standard Splits

1 code implementation ACL 2019 Kyle Gorman, Steven Bedrick

It is standard practice in speech {\&} language technology to rank systems according to their performance on a test set held out for evaluation.

Classification of Semantic Paraphasias: Optimization of a Word Embedding Model

no code implementations WS 2019 Katy McKinney-Bock, Steven Bedrick

In clinical assessment of people with aphasia, impairment in the ability to recall and produce words for objects (anomia) is assessed using a confrontation naming task, where a target stimulus is viewed and a corresponding label is spoken by the participant.
