Variation and Instability in Dialect-Based Embedding Spaces
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2023)This paper measures variation in embedding spaces which have been trained on different regional varieties of English while controlling for instability in the embeddings. While previous work has shown that it is possible ... -

Stability of Syntactic Dialect Classification Over Space and Time
(2022)This paper analyses the degree to which dialect classifiers based on syntactic representations remain stable over space and time. While previous work has shown that the combination of grammar induction and geospatial ... -

Unsupervised morphological segmentation in a language with reduplication
(2022)We present an extension of the Morfessor Base line model of unsupervised morphological seg mentation (Creutz and Lagus, 2007) that in corporates abstract templates for reduplication, a typologically common but ... -
Uninvited Campaign Rally: Effects of Hong Kong’s Anti-Extradition Movement on Taiwan’s 2020 Election
(American Political Science Association, 2021)Party, candidate, and issue are undoubtedly the most frequently cited elements in electoral studies. All three, especially party system and issue debates, often reflect and cut along the main social and political cleavages ... -
Learned Construction Grammars Converge Across Registers Given Increased Exposure
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021)This paper measures the impact of increased exposure on whether learned construction grammars converge onto shared representations when trained on data from different registers. Register influences the frequency of ... -
Virtues, vices and place attachment
(2021)There is a virtue associated with forming and maintaining relationships to places. This virtue has not been recognised by philosophers, but it plays a role in indigenous cultures across the world. Hence, place attachment ... -
Production vs Perception: The Role of Individuality in Usage-Based Grammar Induction
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021)This paper asks whether a distinction between production-based and perception-based grammar induction influences either (i) the growth curve of grammars and lexicons or (ii) the similarity between representations learned ... -
Copyright and Post-disaster Archiving
(2019)In this workshop session Paul Millar delivers a presentation, jointly prepared with Dr Chris Thomson, which discusses the experience of the CEISMIC project in dealing with copyright issues. He outlines the relevant law ... -
Representations of Language Varieties Are Reliable Given Corpus Similarity Measures
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021)This paper measures similarity both within and between 84 language varieties across nine languages. These corpora are drawn from digital sources (the web and tweets), allowing us to evaluate whether such geo-referenced corpora ...
