WORD SENSE DISAMBIGUATION: A REVIEW

, 2019
In the process of natural language, a lot of words have different connotations. The correct sense of a word depends upon the context in which the word occurs. Word sense disambiguation known as the process of selecting the most correct sense of the word in a given sentence.

A Matter of Memory? Age‐Invariant Relative Clause Disambiguation and Memory Interference in Older Adults

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Past research suggests that Working Memory plays a role in determining relative clause attachment bias. Disambiguation preferences may further depend on Processing Speed and explicit memory demands in linguistic tasks. Given that Working Memory and Processing Speed decline with age, older adults offer a way of investigating the factors ...

Metaphors and the Invention of Writing

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The foundation of ancient, invented writing systems lies in the predominant iconicity of their sign shapes. However, these shapes are often used not for their referential meaning but in a metaphorical way, whereby one entity stands for another.

Where Mathematical Symbols Come From

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a sense in which the symbols used in mathematical expressions and formulas are arbitrary. After all, arithmetic would be no different if we would replace the symbols ‘+$+$’ or ‘8’ by different symbols. Nevertheless, the shape of many mathematical symbols is in fact well motivated in practice.

Perceptual Priors Update Contextual Feedback Processing in V1

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Contextual information and prior knowledge facilitate perceptual processing, improving our recognition of even distorted or obstructed visual inputs. As a result, neuronal processing elicited by identical sensory inputs varies depending on the context in which we encounter those inputs.

Drawing Animals in the Paleolithic: The Effect of Perspective and Abbreviation on Animal Recognition and Aesthetic Appreciation

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of Pleistocene figurative cave art in Western Europe consists of line drawings depicting large herbivores from the side view, and outlines were sometimes abbreviated to the head‐neck‐dorsal line. It is often assumed that the side view was used because it facilitates animal recognition compared to other views, and that abbreviated ...

Randomly sparsified Richardson iteration: A dimension‐independent sparse linear solver

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 1, Page 89-122, January 2026.
Abstract Recently, a class of algorithms combining classical fixed‐point iterations with repeated random sparsification of approximate solution vectors has been successfully applied to eigenproblems with matrices as large as 10108×10108$10^{108} \times 10^{108}$. So far, a complete mathematical explanation for this success has proven elusive.

Advancing the Prediction and Understanding of Placebo Responses in Chronic Back Pain Using Large Language Models

European Journal of Pain, Volume 30, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Placebo analgesia is a widely studied clinical phenomenon, yet placebo responses vary widely across individuals. Prior research has identified biopsychosocial factors that determine the likelihood of an individual to respond to placebo, yet generalizability and ecological validity in those studies have been limited due to the ...

Greater Interference From Multiple Exposures During Memory Retrieval Drives More Memorable and Forgettable Experiences

Hippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Our everyday experiences share many overlapping features, as we often engage in repeated activities and routines. This leads to interference across our experiences, making it difficult to remember specific, unique events. Hippocampal pattern separation enables the discrimination of highly similar experiences to be stored orthogonally ...

Lexical Leveraging in Novel Word Learning: Different Semantic Properties Support Learners at Different Stages of Development

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Toddlers better retain novel object‐label mappings from taxonomic categories they have more knowledge of. Separately, words for concepts with more perceptual features are learned earlier than words for concepts with fewer perceptual features.
