Modelling Pro-drop with the Rational Speech Acts Model
We extend the classic Referring Expressions Generation task by considering zero pronouns in {``}pro-drop{''} languages such as Chinese, modelling their use by means of the Bayesian Rational Speech Acts model (Frank and Goodman, 2012). By assuming that highly salient referents are most likely to be referred to by zero pronouns (i.e., pro-drop is more likely for salient referents than the less salient ones), the model offers an attractive explanation of a phenomenon not previously addressed probabilistically.

Linguists Who Use Probabilistic Models Love Them: Quantification in Functional Distributional Semantics
Functional Distributional Semantics provides a computationally tractable framework for learning truth-conditional semantics from a corpus. Previous work in this framework has provided a probabilistic version of first-ord…

Probing Statistical Representations For End-To-End ASR
End-to-End automatic speech recognition (ASR) models aim to learn a generalised speech representation to perform recognition. In this domain there is little research to analyse internal representation dependencies and th…
