Storage and retrieval of low-frequency words* [PDF]
Memory and Cognition, 1973 Retneval of words as a function of their language frequency was studied by having Ss attempt to recogruze the words, recall the words after one presentation, or produce (think of) the words from their initial bigrams. It was found that one reason many low-frequency words could not be thought of (often necessary in anagram and other problem-solving ...

Efficient Estimate of Low-Frequency Words’ Embeddings Based on the Dictionary: A Case Study on Chinese [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2021 Obtaining high-quality embeddings of out-of-vocabularies (OOVs) and low-frequency words is a challenge in natural language processing (NLP). To efficiently estimate the embeddings of OOVs and low-frequency words, we propose a new method that uses the ...

Event-related brain potentials dissociate repetition effects of high-and low-frequency words [PDF]
Memory and Cognition, 1990 Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded while subjects detected nonwords interspersed among sequences of words of high or low frequency of occurrence. In Phase 1, a proportion of the words were repeated after six intervening items. In Phase 2, which followed after a break of approximately 15 min, the words were either repeats of items ...

Improving Bilingual Lexicon Induction for Low Frequency Words [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2020 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP), 2020 This paper designs a Monolingual Lexicon Induction task and observes that two factors accompany the degraded accuracy of bilingual lexicon induction for rare words. First, a diminishing margin between similarities in low frequency regime, and secondly, exacerbated hubness at low frequency.

Lexical access for low- and high-frequency words in Hebrew [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 1985 The hypothesis that phonological mediation is involved to a greater extent in the recognition of low- than in the recognition of high-frequency words was examined using Hebrew. Hebrew has two forms of spelling, pointed and unpointed, which differ greatly in the extent of phonological ambiguity, with the unpointed spelling lacking almost all vowel ...

Recognize Foreign Low-Frequency Words with Similar Pairs [PDF]
Interspeech 2015, 2015 Low-frequency words place a major challenge for automatic speech recognition (ASR). The probabilities of these words, which are often important name entities, are generally under-estimated by the language model (LM) due to their limited occurrences in the training data.

Memorability judgments for high- and low-frequency words [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 1998 Five experiments were conducted in order to examine subjects' judgments of the memorability of high- (HF) and low-frequency (LF) words in the context of a recognition memory task. In Experiment 1, the subjects were provided study/test experience with a list of HF and LF words prior to making memorability judgments for a new list of HF and LF items. The

On using norms for low-frequency words [PDF]
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1988 When norms are used to select words of various frequency of occurrence in the language, great care must be exercised in the selection of low-frequency words. The stability of estimates of frequency for rare words hinges heavily on the size of the corpus on which the word count is based, and on whether the frequency index takes into account the ...

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Unlike in English, the role of phonology in word recognition in Chinese is unclear. In this event-related potential experiment, we investigated the role of phonology in reading both high- and low-frequency two-character compound Chinese words ...
