Dual Mechanism Priming Effects in Hindi Word Order (2022.aacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have shown that word order choices can be primed by preceding sentences. |
| Approach: | They propose to model lexical priming and lexically-independent syntactic priming using a logistic regression model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed hypothesis supports multiple cognitive mechanisms . the experimental record shows that lexical priming and lexically-independent priming affect complementary sets of verb classes. |
Discourse Context Predictability Effects in Hindi Word Order (2022.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Prior work has shown that information status, dependency length, and syntactic surprisal influence word order preferences, but the role of discourse predictability is underexplored in the literature. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Hindi-Urdu Treebank corpus to build a classifier to predict which sentences actually occurred in the corpus against artificially generated distractors. |
| Outcome: | The proposed classifier predicts which sentences occur in the Hindi-Urdu Treebank corpus against artificial distractors. |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | linguistically motivated features are used to classify paragraph-level text into fiction and non-fiction genres. |
| Approach: | They deploy linguistically motivated features to classify paragraph-level text into fiction and non-fiction genres using a logistic regression model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model gives 15.56% accuracy jump over baseline model . the proposed model also transfers over to another dataset, Baby BNC corpus . |
