Language Acquisition through Intention Reading and Pattern Finding (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a faithful computational operationalisation of the underlying mechanisms is still lacking. |
| Approach: | They propose a mechanistic model of intention reading and its integration with pattern finding capacities to model the intention reading process and their model of pattern finding. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model integrates intention reading and pattern finding processes with linguistic schemata that generalise over form and meaning. |
Modelling Language Acquisition through Syntactico-Semantic Pattern Finding (2023.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Usage-based theories of language acquisition have documented the processes by which children acquire language through communicative interaction. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for learning grammars based on similarities and differences in linguistic observations alone. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is able to learn compositional lexical and item-based constructions of variable extent and degree of abstraction, along with a network of emergent syntactic categories. |
