Dual-Coding Theory and Connectionist Lexical Selection

cmp-lg 2008-02-03 v1 Computation and Language

Abstract

We introduce the bilingual dual-coding theory as a model for bilingual mental representation. Based on this model, lexical selection neural networks are implemented for a connectionist transfer project in machine translation. This lexical selection approach has two advantages. First, it is learnable. Little human effort on knowledge engineering is required. Secondly, it is psycholinguistically well-founded.
