Self-Concept Assessment of Linguistically Diverse Students
… was to determine whether or not students of linguistically diverse backgrounds tend to have lower self-concepts, particularly in the academic setting, than those students who are from "standard" English linguistic backgrounds. This study took into account the students' linguistic backgrounds; …

Resources for linguistically motivated Multilingual Anaphora Resolution
An actual trend in the computational linguistics and natural language processing is the implementation of multilingual utilities for different tasks, like information retrival, summarization of documents in different languages or machine translation, tasks in which the resolution of anaphoric …

Linguistically motivated models for lightly-supervised dependency parsing
… regime. In particular we focus on formulating linguistically aware models of dependency parsing that can exploit readily available sources of linguistic knowledge such as language universals and typological features. This type of linguistic knowledge can be used to motivate model design and/or …

Toward Linguistically Fair IQ Screening: The Multilingual Vocabulary Test
Neuropsychological assessment in linguistically heterogeneous populations is fraught with numerous challenges, such as lacking or inappropriate normative data or the unavailability of appropriate tests. Accommodating multilingual individuals exacerbates the issue by adding the question of which …

Linguistically Motivated Reordering Modeling for Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation
Word reordering is one of the most difficult aspects of Statistical Machine Translation (SMT), and an important factor of its quality and efficiency. While short and medium-range reordering is reasonably handled by the phrase-based approach (PSMT), long-range reordering still represents a challenge …

Linguistically-motivated sub-word modeling with applications to speech recognition
… the lexical properties of an OOV word through a linguistically-motivated sub-syllabic model. The linguistic model is designed using a context-free grammar which describes the sub-syllabic structure of English words, and encapsulates phonotactic and phonological constraints. The context-free …

Functional Distributional Semantics: Learning Linguistically Informed Representations from a Precisely Annotated Corpus
The aim of distributional semantics is to design computational techniques that can automatically learn the meanings of words from a body of text. The twin challenges are: how do we represent meaning, and how do we learn these representations? The current state of the art is to represent meanings as …
