中文简介:
尽管任务非常复杂,但人类婴儿可以自然而轻松地学习其环境中使用的语言。在这里,我将概述语言习得的早期阶段,并重点介绍目前正在使用信号处理和自动语音识别工具进行建模方法的一个领域:语音类别的无可比拟的获取。在他们生命的第一年,婴儿构建了他们母语的音素的详细表示,并且失去了区分非本地音素对比的能力。无监督的统计聚类是不够的;它不会集中在音素库存上,而是集中在上下文的异音单元或子单元上。我提出了一种信息理论算法,该算法基于可以独立获取的三种信息源将异音变体组合在一起:它们的上下文的统计分布,分组的语音合理性以及词汇最小对的存在。该算法在几个自然语音语料库上进行了测试。我们发现这三种信息来源可能不是语言特定的。可能是语言独有的是它们结合起来以优化语言类别出现的方式。 Emmanuel Dupoux是巴黎Laboignsoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique的主任。他利用行为和脑成像技术以及计算建模的方式,对人类婴儿语言和社会习得的早期阶段进行研究。他在Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences sociales任教,并在认知科学领域设立了跨学科研究生课程。
课程简介: Human infants learn spontaneously and effortlessly the language(s) spoken in their environments, despite the extraordinary complexity of the task. Here, I will present an overview of the early phases of language acquisition and focus on one area where a modeling approach is currently being conducted using tools of signal processing and automatic speech recognition: the unsupervized acquisition of phonetic categories. During their first year of life, infants construct a detailed representation of the phonemes of their native language and lose the ability to distinguish nonnative phonemic contrasts. Unsupervised statistical clustering is not sufficient; it does not converge on the inventory of phonemes, but rather on contextual allophonic units or subunits. I present an information-theoretic algorithm that groups together allophonic variants based on three sources of information that Can be acquired independently: the statistical distribution of their contexts, the phonetic plausibility of the grouping, and the existence of lexical minimal pairs. This algorithm is tested on several natural speech corpora. We find that these three sources of information are probably not language specific. What is presumably unique to language is the way in which they are combined to optimize the emergence of linguistic categories. Emmanuel Dupoux is the director of the Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique in Paris. He conducts research on the early phases of language and social acquisition in human infants, using a mix of behavioral and brain-imaging techniques as well as computational modeling. He teaches at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences sociales where he has set up an interdisciplinary graduate program in Cognitive Science.
