Lexical Acquisition through Implicit Confirmations over Multiple Dialogues
We address the problem of acquiring the ontological categories of unknown terms through implicit confirmation in dialogues. We develop an approach that makes implicit confirmation requests with an unknown term{'}s predicted category. Our approach does not degrade user experience with repetitive explicit confirmations, but the system has difficulty determining if information in the confirmation request can be correctly acquired. To overcome this challenge, we propose a method for determining whether or not the predicted category is correct, which is included in an implicit confirmation request. Our method exploits multiple user responses to implicit confirmation requests containing the same ontological category. Experimental results revealed that the proposed method exhibited a higher precision rate for determining the correctly predicted categories than when only single user responses were considered.

User Impressions of Questions to Acquire Lexical Knowledge
For the acquisition of knowledge through dialogues, it is crucial for systems to ask questions that do not diminish the user’s willingness to talk, i.e., that do not degrade the user’s impression. This paper reports the …

Collecting and Exploring Everyday Language for Predicting Psycholinguistic Properties of Words
Exploring language usage through frequency analysis in large corpora is a defining feature in most recent work in corpus and computational linguistics. From a psycholinguistic perspective, however, the corpora used in th…
Text SimplificationEarly Language Learning via Spreading Activation and Category Exploration in Complex Networks
Is word acquisition in children uneven with respect to semantic and lexical categories? To answer this question, we model early language learning as a search on a graph-based mental lexicon, driven by two interacting pro…
Matching Meaning at Scale: Evaluating Semantic Search for 18th-Century Intellectual History through the Case of Locke
While digitized corpora have transformed the study of intellectual transmission, current methods rely heavily on lexical text reuse detection, capturing verbatim quotations but fundamentally missing paraphrases and compl…
