Predicting the Time at Which a Lévy Process Attains Its Ultimate Supremum [PDF]

open access: yesActa Applicandae Mathematicae, 2014
We consider the problem of finding a stopping time that minimises the $L^1$-distance to $θ$, the time at which a Lévy process attains its ultimate supremum. This problem was studied in [12] for a Brownian motion with drift and a finite time horizon. We consider a general Lévy process and an infinite time horizon (only compound Poisson processes are ...

The Role of Language Aptitude in Children’s Rate and Route of L2 Acquisition: A Direction for Future Research in Child SLA

open access: yesStudies in Applied Linguistics & TESOL, 2020
A fundamental distinction in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) is route versus rate of acquisition (or L2 development). While the former has traditionally referred to developmental sequences of learning, the latter denotes the speed with ...

Experience, aptitude and individual differences in native language ultimate attainment [PDF]

open access: yesCognition, 2018
Several recent studies have demonstrated that some native speakers do not fully master some fairly basic grammatical constructions of their language, thus challenging the widely-held assumption that all native speakers converge on the same grammar. This study investigates the extent of individual differences in adult native speakers' knowledge of a ...

Scalable Task Planning via Large Language Models and Structured World Representations

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work efficiently combines graph‐based world representations with the commonsense knowledge in Large Language Models to enhance planning techniques for the large‐scale environments that modern robots will need to face. Planning methods often struggle with computational intractability when solving task‐level problems in large‐scale environments ...

Production of voice onset time (VOT) by senior Polish learners of English

open access: yesOpen Linguistics, 2021
Although research on foreign language learning among seniors has recently accelerated, studies on L2 phonology in this age group remain scarce. Seniors may be at a great disadvantage when it comes to learning the sounds of a foreign language because age ...
