Improving Bilingual Lexicon Induction for Low Frequency Words [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 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.

Recognize foreign low-frequency words with similar pairs [PDF]

open access: yesInterspeech 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.

Efficient Estimate of Low-Frequency Words’ Embeddings Based on the Dictionary: A Case Study on Chinese

open access: yesApplied 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 ...

Storage and retrieval of low-frequency words* [PDF]

open access: yesMemory & 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 ...

Short article: Is morphological decomposition limited to low-frequency words? [PDF]

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2009
On the basis of data from masked priming experiments, it has been argued that an automatic process of decomposition is applied to all morphologically structured stimuli, irrespective of their lexical characteristics (Rastle, Davis, & New, 2004). So far, this claim has been tested only with respect to low-frequency primes and nonword primes.

Retrieval of low-frequency words from mixed lists [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1974
In two experiments Ss were presented either a list of high- or a list of low-frequency words (unmixed lists), or lists containing equal numbers of words from the two frequency levels (mixed lists). In recall there was a significant interaction between level of frequency and type of list: In unmixed lists high-frequency words were better recalled; in ...

On using norms for low-frequency words [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin 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 ...

The clustering power of low frequency words in academic Webs [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2005
AbstractThe value of low frequency words for subject‐based academic Web site clustering is assessed. A new technique is introduced to compare the relative clustering power of different vocabularies. The technique is designed for word frequency tests in large document clustering exercises.

Lexical access for low- and high-frequency words in Hebrew [PDF]

open access: yesMemory & 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 ...

Event-related brain potentials dissociate repetition effects of high-and low-frequency words [PDF]

open access: yesMemory & 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 ...
