  1. 1. Topological regularization and relative latent representations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Alejandro García Castellanos; [2023]
    Keywords : Algebraic Topology; Large Language Models; Relative Representation; Representation Learning; Model Stitching; Topological DataAnalysis; Zero-shot; Algebraisk topologi; Stora språkmodeller; Relativ representation; Representationsinlärning; Modell sömmar; Topologisk dataanalys; Zero-shot;

    Abstract : This Master's Thesis delves into the application of topological regularization techniques and relative latent representations within the realm of zero-shot model stitching. Building upon the prior work of Moschella et al. READ MORE

  3. 2. Trilingual spoken word recognition : Interlingual competition from one or two non-target languages in a sentence context

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Centrum för tvåspråkighetsforskning

    Author : Yulia Kashevarova; [2023]
    Keywords : trilingual speech processing; cross-linguistic competition; sentence context; BLINCS; BIA ;

    Abstract : Persistent non-target language co-activation in spoken and visual language comprehension has been found both at the word-level and at the level of a sentence, although in the latter case, sentence bias has been observed to modulate the co-activation which can create lexical competition. In the case of trilingual speakers, both non-target languages may potentially compete with the third language (L3). READ MORE

  4. 3. Neural correlates of pragmatic processing in adolescents

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

    Author : Christoffer Forbes Schieche; [2023]
    Keywords : Adolescence; cognitive control functions; fMRI; pragmatics; theory of mind; fMRI; kognitiv kontroll; mentalisering; pragmatik; tonåringar;

    Abstract : Understanding indirect speech, i.e., when an utterance does not match the intended meaning, is one of many pragmatic abilities at play in conversation. While the development of pragmatic abilities starts early, they continually develop throughout adolescence although this period is understudied. READ MORE

  5. 4. The brain in conversation: Mapping the neural correlates of turn-taking, production, and comprehension using fMRI

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

    Author : Caroline Arvidsson; [2022]
    Keywords : turn-taking; production; comprehension; conversation; fMRI; speech planning; turtagning; produktion; förståelse; konversation; fMRI; språkplanering;

    Abstract : Conversation is the primary mode of language use. A key feature of conversation is turn-taking, during which interlocutors rapidly switch between speaker and listener roles without conscious effort. READ MORE

  6. 5. Lexical competition and predictive certainty in speech recognition: Modulations of pre-activation negativity amplitude by continuations, entropy and inhibition

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Språk och språkvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fonetik

    Author : Anna Hjortdal; [2022]
    Keywords : Speech perception; spoken word recognition; lexical competition; ERPs; PrAN.; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : A growing body of evidence suggests that speech recognition is facilitated by rapid activation of possible lexical candidates and subsequent competition and selection. An event-related potential (ERP) component 136-204 ms after word onset, the pre-activation negativity (PrAN), correlates with lexical competition. READ MORE
