Children's Foreign Word Recognition at First Exposure: The Role of Phonological Similarity and Utterance Position

open access: yesLanguage Learning, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 565-596, June 2026.
Abstract The current study examined how children apply their phonological knowledge to recognize translation equivalents in a foreign language. Target words for recognition were either phonologically similar (cognate) or dissimilar (noncognate) to words they already knew in their first language.

One-Gapped q-Gram Filters for Levenshtein Distance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We have recently shown that q- gram filters based on gapped q-grams instead of the usual contiguous q-grams can provide orders of magnitude faster and/or more efficient filtering for the Hamming distance. In this paper, we extend the results for the Levenshtein distance, which is more problematic for gapped q-grams because an insertion or deletion in a

Metrics‐First, Language‐Aware Clone Type Recognition: Auditable Signals Across C, C#, Java, and Python

open access: yesJournal of Software: Evolution and Process, Volume 38, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Modern clone research has largely converged on powerful end‐to‐end detectors, yet practitioners still lack auditable guidance on which concrete code characteristics best distinguish clone types and whether those signals transfer across languages.

Esscore: An OCR-Based Android App for Scoring Short Handwritten Answer Using Levenshtein Distance

open access: yesJournal of Applied Informatics and Computing
Manual evaluation of short answer tests is time-consuming and prone to subjectivity. This study presents Esscore, an Android-based application that automates the scoring of handwritten short answers using EasyOCR and the Levenshtein Distance algorithm ...

Unsupervised Work Behavior Pattern Extraction Based on Hierarchical Probabilistic Model

open access: yesIEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 5, Page 693-703, May 2026.
In this study, we address the challenge of analyzing worker behaviors in high‐mix, low‐volume production environments, where traditional supervised learning methods struggle owing to the lack of labeled data and task variability among workers. To overcome these issues, we propose a novel hierarchical approach for unsupervised behavior pattern ...

Overreliance on Orthographic Similarity in L2‐Japanese Conceptual Processing by L1‐Chinese Learners

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 1807-1820, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Orthographic and phonological similarities between first (L1) and second (L2) languages can facilitate L2 processing. Particularly, L1‐Chinese learners of L2‐Japanese can benefit from the shared morphosyllabic Chinese characters (Japanese kanji/Chinese hanzi) because of their similar orthographies.

GPU acceleration of Levenshtein distance computation between long strings

open access: yesParallel Computing, 2022
Computing edit distance for very long strings has been hampered by quadratic time complexity with respect to string length. The WFA algorithm reduces the time complexity to a quadratic factor with respect to the edit distance between the strings. This work presents a GPU implementation of the WFA algorithm and a new optimization that can halve the ...

Deconstructing bilingualism and its sociocultural determinants in cognitive aging and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Despite bilingualism being highly prevalent worldwide, the role of bilingualism in cognitive aging and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) remains inconclusive. Gaps include whether bilingual adults show reduced ADRD risk, how cognitive decline manifests across both languages, and what considerations are needed for accurate ...
