Predicting Text Readability from Scrolling Interactions
Judging the readability of text has many important applications, for instance when performing text simplification or when sourcing reading material for language learners.
Classifying Syntactic Errors in Learner Language
We present a method for classifying syntactic errors in learner language, namely errors whose correction alters the morphosyntactic structure of a sentence.
Bridging Information-Seeking Human Gaze and Machine Reading Comprehension
In this work, we analyze how human gaze during reading comprehension is conditioned on the given reading comprehension question, and whether this signal can be beneficial for machine reading comprehension.
STARC: Structured Annotations for Reading Comprehension
We present STARC (Structured Annotations for Reading Comprehension), a new annotation framework for assessing reading comprehension with multiple choice questions.
Grounding language acquisition by training semantic parsers using captioned videos
We develop a semantic parser that is trained in a grounded setting using pairs of videos captioned with sentences.
Modeling Language Variation and Universals: A Survey on Typological Linguistics for Natural Language Processing
Linguistic typology aims to capture structural and semantic variation across the world's languages.
Assessing Language Proficiency from Eye Movements in Reading
We present a novel approach for determining learners' second language proficiency which utilizes behavioral traces of eye movements during reading.
Predicting Native Language from Gaze
A fundamental question in language learning concerns the role of a speaker's first language in second language acquisition.
Survey on the Use of Typological Information in Natural Language Processing
In recent years linguistic typology, which classifies the world's languages according to their functional and structural properties, has been widely used to support multilingual NLP.
Anchoring and Agreement in Syntactic Annotations
Our agreement results control for parser bias, and are consequential in that they are on par with state of the art parsing performance for English newswire.
Universal Dependencies for Learner English
We introduce the Treebank of Learner English (TLE), the first publicly available syntactic treebank for English as a Second Language (ESL).
Do You See What I Mean? Visual Resolution of Linguistic Ambiguities
Understanding language goes hand in hand with the ability to integrate complex contextual information obtained via perception.
Contrastive Analysis with Predictive Power: Typology Driven Estimation of Grammatical Error Distributions in ESL
This work examines the impact of cross-linguistic transfer on grammatical errors in English as Second Language (ESL) texts.
Reconstructing Native Language Typology from Foreign Language Usage
Linguists and psychologists have long been studying cross-linguistic transfer, the influence of native language properties on linguistic performance in a foreign language.
