Abstract:
The thesis is an attempt to identify a method of statistical analysis whereby theoretical linguistic models can be validated, to some degree, via analysis of language user perception of text structure. Such a tool of validation is indispensible but has yet to be identified. There are two areas of linguistic model validation where the proposed method of analysis can make a substantial contribution: a - in validating linguistic models, qua descriptive models, as explanatory models, and b - in establishing grounds for comparison among competing and/or conflicting linguistic models in the same are

Abstract:
The value of automated sentiment analysis systems is increasing with the vast amount of consumer-generated content, allowing researchers to analyze the information readily available on the World Wide Web. Much research has been done in the field of sentiment analysis, which has improved the accuracy of sentiment analysis systems. But sentiment analysis is a challenging problem, and there are many potential areas for improvement. In this thesis, we analyze two linguistic rules, and propose algorithms for these rules to be applied in sentiment analysis systems. The first rule is regarding how a

Abstract:
Multiple-criteria or multiple-attribute group decision-making is a sub-field of operations research that seek to find a common and representative solution given the preferences elicited by a pre-defined group, over a set of alternatives and with respect to a set of coherent criteria (or attributes). Recently, the modelling of natural language in these processes has captured the attention of many researchers. Most of the evaluations in a group-decision making context are inherently imprecise, incomplete or vague, and therefore, experts feel more comfortable using their language rather than nume

Abstract:
This document provides an overview of hidden Markov Models (HMMs). It begins with some probability background, including some descriptions of algorithms used in implementing HMMs. Hidden Markov Models come from a class of systems endowed with probabilistic properties that make it useful for modeling situations in which the modeler lacks a full specification of the system in question, but has data generated by the system. This is not altogether different from a car mechanic attempting to understand an automobile motor by studying the emissions from the tailpipe and the response to acceleration,

Abstract:
Language is an organic construct. It emanates from the need for communication and changes through time, influenced by multiple factors. The resulting language structures are a mix of regular syntactic and morphological constructions together with divergent irregular elements. Linguistics aims at formalizing these structures, providing a rationalization of the underlying phenomena. However, linguistic information alone is not enough to fully characterize the structures in language, as they are intrinsically tied to meaning, which constrains and modulates the applicability of the linguistic phen

Abstract:
Många förskoleklasser är ålagda att arbeta med Bornholmsmodellen för att öka den språkliga medvetenheten hos barnen. Forskning visar på att ett tidigt arbete med barns språkliga medvetenhet innan läsinlärningens start har stor betydelse för barns läsinlärning. Med Bornholmsmodellen jobbar man med språklekar för att stimulera barnens språkliga medvetenhet. Syftet med undersökningen är att ta reda på hur Bornholmsmodellen uppfattas av verksamma pedagoger inom två kommuner samt vad dessa anser finns för olika fördelar och nackdelar med metoden. Vidare så undersöks det om

Abstract:
The relationships between languages are often modelled as phylogenetic trees whereby there is a single shared ancestral language at the root and contemporary languages appear as leaves. These can be thought of as directed acyclic graphs with hidden variables, specifically Bayesian networks. However, from a statistical perspective there is often no formal assessment of the suitability of these latent tree models. A lot of the work that seeks to address this has focused on discrete variable models. However, when observations are instead considered as functional data, the high dimensional approxi
