    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Word vectors; NLP; Neural networks; Embeddings; Maskininlärning; Machine Learning;

    Abstract : This work highlights some important factors for consideration when developing word vector representations and data-driven conversational systems. The neural network methods for creating word embeddings have gained more prominence than their older, count-based counterparts. READ MORE

  4. 2. Brain anatomical correlates of perceptual phonological proficiency and language learning aptitude

    Author : Mikael Novén; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prosody; word accent; MRI; language learning aptitude; cortical morphometry; diffusion kurtosis imaging;

    Abstract : The present dissertation concerns how brain tissue properties reflect proficiency in two aspects of language use: the ability to use tonal cues on word stems to predict how words will end and the aptitude for learning foreign languages. While it is known that people differ in their language abilities and that damage to brain tissue cause loss of cognitive functions, it is largely unknown if differences in language proficiencies correlate with differences in brain structure.
