The iconicity and ease of learning of picture communication symbols: A study with Afrikaans-speaking children

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Communication Disorders, 2005
Graphic symbols form an important part of most augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) users' communication systems. Studies focusing on the way different graphic symbols are learned and retained are pivotal for a better understanding of the ...

Clarifying the Notion “Parameter”

open access: yesBiolinguistics, 2007
This article aims to reflect on linguistic architecture by re-examining language variation. Three progressively deeper forms of variation are suggested, each of which arguably contributes to this exercise in rather different ways.

Learnability for the Information Bottleneck

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
The Information Bottleneck (IB) method provides an insightful and principled approach for balancing compression and prediction for representation learning. The IB objective I ( X ; Z ) - β I ( Y ; Z ) employs a Lagrange multiplier β

A Petri-Net Based Approach to Measure the Learnability of Interactive Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We propose an approach to measure the learnability of an interactive system. Our approach relies on recording in a user log all the user actions that take place during a run of the system and on replaying them over one or more interaction models of the ...

A demonstration of the uncomputability of parametric models of language acquisition and a biologically plausible alternative

open access: yesLanguage Development Research, 2022
The logical problem of language acquisition has been at the forefront of psycholinguistics and behavioral neuroscience for decades. One of the most influential answers to the problem of how successful acquisition occurs on the basis of noisy input ...

The Credit Problem in parametric stress: A probabilistic approach

open access: yesGlossa, 2021
In this paper, we introduce a novel domain-general, statistical learning model for P&P grammars: the Expectation Driven Parameter Learner (EDPL). We show that the EDPL provides a mathematically principled solution to the Credit Problem (Dresher 1999). We

Two negations for the price of one

open access: yesGlossa, 2016
Standard English is typically described as a double negation language. In double negation ­languages, each negative marker contributes independent semantic force. Two negations in the same clause usually cancel each other out, resulting in an affirmative

Learning Action Models: Qualitative Approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In dynamic epistemic logic, actions are described using action models. In this paper we introduce a framework for studying learnability of action models from observations. We present first results concerning propositional action models.

Quantum versus classical learnability [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 16th Annual IEEE Conference on Computational Complexity, 2002
We consider quantum versions of two well-studied classical learning models: Angluin's model of exact learning from membership queries and Valiant's Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) model of learning from random examples. We give positive and negative results for quantum versus classical learnability.
