| Challenge: | Euphemisms are a linguistic device used to soften or neutralize language that may otherwise be harsh or awkward to state directly. |
| Approach: | They train a multilingual transformer model to disambiguate potentially euphemistic terms in multilingual and cross-lingual settings. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs better than monolingual models on the disambiguation task compared to monolingual ones in multilingual and cross-lingual settings. |
A Framework for Representing Language Acquisition in a Population Setting (P18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to model language acquisition and social structure are ineffective because nobody can travel back in time or fit entire natural environments into a lab. |
| Approach: | They propose a new analytic framework which combines previous network models' ability to capture realistic social structure with more elegant computational properties. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework is able to capture real social structure and integrate with existing models while being modular and extensible. |
