Neurocognitive Informatics Manifesto.
Informatics studies all aspects of the structure of natural and artificial information systems. Theoretical and abstract approaches to information have made great advances, but human information processing is still unmatched in many areas, including information management, representation and understanding. Neurocognitive informatics is a new, emerging field that should help to improve the matching of artificial and natural systems, and inspire better computational algorithms to solve problems that are still beyond the reach of machines. In this position paper examples of neurocognitive inspirations and promising directions in this area are given
Memory-Based Lexical Acquisition and Processing
Current approaches to computational lexicology in language technology are
knowledge-based (competence-oriented) and try to abstract away from specific
formalisms, domains, and applications. This results in severe complexity,
acquisition and reusability bottlenecks. As an alternative, we propose a
particular performance-oriented approach to Natural Language Processing based
on automatic memory-based learning of linguistic (lexical) tasks. The
consequences of the approach for computational lexicology are discussed, and
the application of the approach on a number of lexical acquisition and
disambiguation tasks in phonology, morphology and syntax is described.Comment: 18 page
