Lexical and Grammatical Inference

Abstract

Children are facile at both discovering word bound-aries and using those words to build higher-level struc-tures in tandem. Current research treats lexical acqui-sition and grammar induction as two distinct tasks; do-ing so has led to unreasonable assumptions. State-of-the-art unsupervised results presuppose a perfectly seg-mented, noise-free lexicon, while largely ignoring how the lexicon is used. This paper combines both tasks in a novel framework for bootstrapping lexical acquisition and grammar induction.
