Cross-linguistic similarity and task demands in Japanese-English bilingual processing. [PDF]
Even in languages that do not share script, bilinguals process cognates faster than matched noncognates in a range of tasks. The current research more fully explores what underpins the cognate 'advantage' in different script bilinguals (Japanese-English).

Operationalizing language-based population stratification for widening access to precision genomics in Africa [PDF]
BackgroundDespite remarkable advancements in genomic technologies, individuals of predominant African-related genetic similarity remain significantly under-represented, accounting for only 2.4% of published genome-wide association studies. This disparity

Co-occurrence Retrieval: A Flexible Framework for Lexical Distributional Similarity [PDF]
Techniques that exploit knowledge of distributional similarity between words have been proposed in many areas of Natural Language Processing. For example, in language modeling, the sparse data problem can be alleviated by estimating the probabilities of unseen co-occurrences of events from the probabilities of seen co-occurrences of similar events. In

Discovering Lexical Similarity Using Articulatory Feature-Based Phonetic Edit Distance
Lexical Similarity (LS) between two languages uncovers many interesting linguistic insights such as phylogenetic relationship, mutual intelligibility, common etymology, and loan words. There are various methods through which LS is evaluated.

Characterising measures of lexical distributional similarity [PDF]
This work investigates the variation in a word's distributionally nearest neighbours with respect to the similarity measure used. We identify one type of variation as being the relative frequency of the neighbour words with respect to the frequency of the target word.

Directional distributional similarity for lexical expansion [PDF]
Distributional word similarity is most commonly perceived as a symmetric relation. Yet, one of its major applications is lexical expansion, which is generally asymmetric. This paper investigates the nature of directional (asymmetric) similarity measures, which aim to quantify distributional feature inclusion.
