  2. Statistical language acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_Language...

    Statistical language acquisition, a branch of developmental psycholinguistics, studies the process by which humans develop the ability to perceive, produce, comprehend, and communicate with natural language in all of its aspects (phonological, syntactic, lexical, morphological, semantic) through the use of general learning mechanisms operating on statistical patterns in the linguistic input.

  3. Statistical learning in language acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_learning_in...

    Statistical learning is the ability for humans and other animals to extract statistical regularities from the world around them to learn about the environment. Although statistical learning is now thought to be a generalized learning mechanism, the phenomenon was first identified in human infant language acquisition.

  4. Language model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_model

    A language model is a probabilistic model of a natural language. [1] In 1980, the first significant statistical language model was proposed, and during the decade IBM performed ‘Shannon-style’ experiments, in which potential sources for language modeling improvement were identified by observing and analyzing the performance of human subjects in predicting or correcting text.

  5. Word n-gram language model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_n-gram_language_model

    A word n-gram language model is a purely statistical model of language. It has been superseded by recurrent neural network–based models, which have been superseded by large language models. [1] It is based on an assumption that the probability of the next word in a sequence depends only on a fixed size window of previous words.

  6. Large language model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model

    A large language model (LLM) is a type of machine learning model designed for natural language processing tasks such as language generation.As language models, LLMs acquire these abilities by learning statistical relationships from vast amounts of text during a self-supervised and semi-supervised training process.

  7. Quantitative linguistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_linguistics

    Quantitative linguistics deals with language learning, language change, and application as well as structure of natural languages. QL investigates languages using statistical methods; its most demanding objective is the formulation of language laws and, ultimately, of a general theory of language in the sense of a set of interrelated languages ...

  8. Latent Dirichlet allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_Dirichlet_allocation

    In natural language processing, latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) is a Bayesian network (and, therefore, a generative statistical model) for modeling automatically extracted topics in textual corpora. The LDA is an example of a Bayesian topic model. In this, observations (e.g., words) are collected into documents, and each word's presence is ...

  9. Competition model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competition_Model

    The Competition Model is a psycholinguistic theory of language acquisition and sentence processing, developed by Elizabeth Bates and Brian MacWhinney (1982). [1] The claim in MacWhinney, Bates, and Kliegl (1984) [2] is that "the forms of natural languages are created, governed, constrained, acquired, and used in the service of communicative functions."
