Topic Identification in Discourse [PDF]
arXiv, 1995 This paper proposes a corpus-based language model for topic identification. We analyze the association of noun-noun and noun-verb pairs in LOB Corpus. The word association norms are based on three factors: 1) word importance, 2) pair co-occurrence, and 3) distance. They are trained on the paragraph and sentence levels for noun-noun and noun-verb pairs,

PsyCh Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Past studies have illustrated that we tend to prioritize remembering information that is relevant to ourselves, resulting in a self‐reference effect. This effect is often influenced by emotions associated with the stimuli, frequently showcasing a self‐positivity bias. However, these effects have only been observed in individual memory, without

Using the Web as an Implicit Training Set: Application to Noun Compound Syntax and Semantics [PDF]
PhD Thesis, University of California at Berkeley, 2007, 2019 An important characteristic of English written text is the abundance of noun compounds - sequences of nouns acting as a single noun, e.g., colon cancer tumor suppressor protein. While eventually mastered by domain experts, their interpretation poses a major challenge for automated analysis.

Structural Cerebral Correlates of Perplexity: Exploring a Linguistic Marker in Cognitive Aging
PsyCh Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Language changes are among the earliest indicators of cognitive decline in aging. Perplexity, a linguistic measure derived from information theory that quantifies speech predictability, has emerged as a potential marker for detecting early cognitive changes. However, its underlying neural substrates remain unclear.

TOIST: Task Oriented Instance Segmentation Transformer with Noun-Pronoun Distillation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Current referring expression comprehension algorithms can effectively detect or segment objects indicated by nouns, but how to understand verb reference is still under-explored. As such, we study the challenging problem of task oriented detection, which aims to find objects that best afford an action indicated by verbs like sit comfortably on.

Paraphrasing Verbs for Noun Compound Interpretation [PDF]
MWE-2008, 2019 An important challenge for the automatic analysis of English written text is the abundance of noun compounds: sequences of nouns acting as a single noun. In our view, their semantics is best characterized by the set of all possible paraphrasing verbs, with associated weights, e.g., malaria mosquito is carry (23), spread (16), cause (12), transmit (9 ...

Priming relations in ambiguous noun-noun combinations [PDF]
Memory & Cognition, 2002 We conducted two experiments to examine whether the interpretation of an ambiguous noun phrase is influenced by exposure to a similar combination. In Experiment 1, we found that it was easier to verify a definition for a combination (e.g., adolescent doctor, a doctor for adolescents) when the prime used the same relation as the target (e.g., adolescent
