The Active-Filler Strategy in a Move-Eager Left-Corner Minimalist Grammar Parser
Recent psycholinguistic evidence suggests that human parsing of moved elements is {}active{'}, and perhaps even {}hyper-active{'}: it seems that a leftward-moved object is related to a verbal position rapidly, perhaps even before the transitivity information associated with the verb is available to the listener. This paper presents a formal, sound and complete parser for Minimalist Grammars whose search space contains branching points that we can identify as the locus of the decision to perform this kind of active gap-finding. This brings formal models of parsing into closer contact with recent psycholinguistic theorizing than was previously possible.

Filler Word Detection with Hard Category Mining and Inter-Category Focal Loss
Filler words like ``um" or ``uh" are common in spontaneous speech. It is desirable to automatically detect and remove them in recordings, as they affect the fluency, confidence, and professionalism of speech. Previous st…
Reactive learning strategies for iterated games
In an iterated game between two players, there is much interest in characterizing the set of feasible payoffs for both players when one player uses a fixed strategy and the other player is free to switch. Such characteri…
TensorFlow Eager: A Multi-Stage, Python-Embedded DSL for Machine Learning
TensorFlow Eager is a multi-stage, Python-embedded domain-specific language for hardware-accelerated machine learning, suitable for both interactive research and production. TensorFlow, which TensorFlow Eager extends, re…
BIG-bench Machine LearningWhat Syntactic Structures block Dependencies in RNN Language Models?
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) trained on a language modeling task have been shown to acquire a number of non-local grammatical dependencies with some success. Here, we provide new evidence that RNN language models are…
