A collaborative tool for the computational modelling of child language acquisition
Kris Jack · 2009
A large number of computational language learners have been proposed for modelling the process of child language acquisition.Com paring them, however, can be difficult due to the different assumptions that they make, the diverse test results presented, and the different linguistic behaviours investigated.This paper introduces a toolkit that allows different lan guage learners to be trained, tested and ana lysed under standardised conditions.The res ults can be easily compared with one another and with typical child language development to highlight the relative advantages and disad vantages of learners.
