Estimating the Entropy of Linguistic Distributions (2022.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Shannon entropy is a quantity of interest for linguists studying the communicative capacity of human language. |
| Approach: | They propose to use entropy estimators to estimate linguistic effects from observed data . they propose to recommend better entropic estimators for future linguistic studies . |
| Outcome: | The proposed estimators are over-estimated due to poor entropy estimators, the authors argue . they recommend the same estimators be used in future linguistic studies. |
