Zipf's Law and Avoidance of Excessive Synonymy | Zipf's law states that if words of language are ranked in the order of
decreasing frequency in texts, the frequency of a word is inversely
proportional to its rank. It is very robust as an experimental observation, but
to date it escaped satisfactory theoretical explanation. We suggest that Zipf's
law may arise from ... | 2,008 | Computation and Language |
On the role of autocorrelations in texts | The task of finding a criterion allowing to distinguish a text from an

associated with it can be aptly modeled and visualized through networks of
linguistic entities. However, most of the existing works on linguistic networks
focus only on the local properties of the networks. This study is an attempt to
analyze t... | 2,009 | Computation and Language |
Beyond word frequency: Bursts, lulls, and scaling in the temporal
distributions of words | Background: Zipf's discovery that word frequency distributions obey a power
law established parallels between biological and physical processes, and
language, laying the groundwork for a complex systems perspective on human
communication. More recent research has also identified scaling regularities in
the dynamics u... | 2,009 | Computation and Language |
Statistical analysis of the Indus script using $n$-grams | The Indus script is one of the major undeciphered scripts of the ancient
world. The small size of the corpus, the absence of bilingual texts, and the
lack of definite knowledge of the underlying language has frustrated efforts at
decipherment since the discovery of the remains of the Indus civilisation.
Recently, som... | 2,015 | Computation and Language |
Approaching the linguistic complexity | We analyze the rank-frequency distributions of words in selected English and
Polish texts. We compare scaling properties of these distributions in both
languages. We also study a few small corpora of Polish literary texts and find
that for a corpus consisting of texts written by different authors the basic
scaling re... | 2,009 | Computation and Language |
Du corpus au dictionnaire | In this article, we propose an automatic process to build multi-lingual
lexico-semantic resources. The goal of these resources is to browse
semantically textual information contained in texts of different languages.
This method uses a mathematical model called Atlas s\'emantiques in order to
represent the different s... | 2,008 | Computation and Language |
Google distance between words | Cilibrasi and Vitanyi have demonstrated that it is possible to extract the
meaning of words from the world-wide web. To achieve this, they rely on the
number of webpages that are found through a Google search containing a given
word and they associate the page count to the probability that the word appears
on a webpa... | 2,015 | Computation and Language |
On the Entropy of Written Spanish | This paper reports on results on the entropy of the Spanish language. They
are based on an analysis of natural language for n-word symbols (n = 1 to 18),
trigrams, digrams, and characters. The results obtained in this work are based
on the analysis of twelve different literary works in Spanish, as well as a

Beyond Zipf's law: Modeling the structure of human language | Human language, the most powerful communication system in history, is closely
associated with cognition. Written text is one of the fundamental
manifestations of language, and the study of its universal regularities can
give clues about how our brains process information and how we, as a society,
organize and share i... | 2,009 | Computation and Language |
New Confidence Measures for Statistical Machine Translation | A confidence measure is able to estimate the reliability of an hypothesis
provided by a machine translation system. The problem of confidence measure can
be seen as a process of testing : we want to decide whether the most probable
sequence of words provided by the machine translation system is correct or not.
In the... | 2,009 | Computation and Language |
BagPack: A general framework to represent semantic relations | We introduce a way to represent word pairs instantiating arbitrary semantic
relations that keeps track of the contexts in which the words in the pair occur
both together and independently. The resulting features are of sufficient
generality to allow us, with the help of a standard supervised machine learning
algorith... | 2,009 | Computation and Language |
What's in a Message? | In this paper we present the first step in a larger series of experiments for
the induction of predicate/argument structures. The structures that we are
inducing are very similar to the conceptual structures that are used in Frame
Semantics (such as FrameNet). Those structures are called messages and they
were previo... | 2,009 | Computation and Language |
Syntactic variation of support verb constructions | We report experiments about the syntactic variations of support verb
constructions, a special type of multiword expressions (MWEs) containing
predicative nouns. In these expressions, the noun can occur with or without the
verb, with no clear-cut semantic difference. We extracted from a large French
corpus a set of ex... | 2,008 | Computation and Language |
Network of two-Chinese-character compound words in Japanese language | Some statistical properties of a network of two-Chinese-character compound
words in Japanese language are reported. In this network, a node represents a
Chinese character and an edge represents a two-Chinese-character compound word.
It is found that this network has properties of "small-world" and "scale-free."
