detailsAutomaton Theories of Human Sentence Comprehension - Chaire Internationale du Labex EFL – Fondements Empiriques de la Linguistique, 2015
summaryThis class applies the automaton-theoretic perspective to frequency effects in language comprehension. The lecture introduces Cognitive Architectures such as Soar, and illustrates a way to embed parsers within them. From this perspective, the applicability of "chunking" as a theory of practice, becomes applicable to language. This offers a mechanistic interpretation of the information-theoretical complexity metric known as surprisal.
