Cross-Lingual Word Sense Disambiguation for Low-Resource Hybrid Machine Translation
… disambiguation (CL-WSD) can be used to improve lexical selection for machine translation when translating from a resource- rich language into an under-resourced one, especially when relatively little bitext is avail- able. In CL-WSD, we perform word sense disambiguation, considering the senses …

Incremental lexical learning in speech production: a computational model and empirical evaluation
… by positing a competitive mechanism for lexical selection. This dissertation presents and evaluates a simple model of lexical retrieval in speech production that applies error-driven learning to its lexical activation network. This model naturally produces repetition priming and semantic …

Integrating source-language context into log-linear models of statistical machine translation
… and can positively influence the weighting and selection of target phrases, and thus improve translation quality. In this thesis we present novel approaches to incorporate source-language contextual modelling into the state-of-the-art SMT models in order to enhance the quality of lexical …

Learning to Speak: A Connectionist Approach to Sentence Production
… uses an architecture with separate pathways for lexical selection and sequencing (Dual-path architecture). This Dual-path model makes use of role-concept variables that are inspired by distinctions in the visual system (Landau & Jackendoff, 1993). This Dual-path architecture generalizes …

Language Planning in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Analysis of the Role of Translators as Agents in Language Change
… bottom-up pressure to influence the diffusion of lexical innovations in the Bosnian language. To investigate this dialectical relationship, I conducted two experiments integrating acceptability ratings, processing, and production measures. The first experiment, an acceptability ratings task with …

The Influence of Orthographic Experiences on the Development of Functional Phonological Unit in Spoken Word Production
… to the first selectable phonological unit after lexical selection in the planning of spoken word production. Previous research has shown that the acquisition of orthographic knowledge restructures literate speakers’ phonological representation and in particular, the acquisition of alphabetic …
