## Papers

1. **[Universal Dependencies and Semantics for English and Hebrew Child-directed Speech](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/ud-2022-szubert-universal-dependencies-semantics-english-hebrew/)** *(2022)* The authors annotate child-directed speech in English (the Adam corpus of CHILDES, 18,113 utterances) and Hebrew (the Hagar corpus, 24,172 utterances) with UD, and then convert the UD trees into logical forms, a meaning representation for acquisition models.
2. **[Cross-linguistically Consistent Semantic and Syntactic Annotation of Child-directed Speech](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/langstream-2021-szubert-cross-linguistically-consistent-semantic-syntactic/)** *(2021)* The paper proposes a two-step method for annotating child-directed speech (CDS) in CHILDES. First, the utterances get Universal Dependencies (UD) trees, starting from the existing dependency annotation and then hand-corrected. Second, sentential logical forms (LFs) are produced from the UD trees by unlexicalised…
3. **[Are we there yet? Encoder-decoder neural networks as cognitive models of English past tense inflection](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/corkery-2019-are-we-there-yet-encoder/)** *(2019)* Kirov and Cotterell (2018) reported that an encoder-decoder network with attention fits human nonce-word past tenses better than an older rule model.
4. **[Evaluating Historical Text Normalization Systems: How Well Do They Generalize?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/robertson-2018-evaluating-historical-text-normalization-systems/)** *(2018)* The paper argues that normalization systems are judged badly. Most reports give one accuracy over all tokens, but in historical text most test tokens were seen in training, and for those a memorization baseline (map each form to its most frequent modern form in training) is very hard to beat. The authors compare two…
