Grammar-Based Feature Generation for Time-Series Prediction
Author: Anthony Mihirana De SilvaPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 9812874119
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
This book proposes a novel approach for time-series prediction using machine learning techniques with automatic feature generation. Application of machine learning techniques to predict time-series continues to attract considerable attention due to the difficulty of the prediction problems compounded by the non-linear and non-stationary nature of the real world time-series. The performance of machine learning techniques, among other things, depends on suitable engineering of features. This book proposes a systematic way for generating suitable features using context-free grammar. A number of feature selection criteria are investigated and a hybrid feature generation and selection algorithm using grammatical evolution is proposed. The book contains graphical illustrations to explain the feature generation process. The proposed approaches are demonstrated by predicting the closing price of major stock market indices, peak electricity load and net hourly foreign exchange client trade volume. The proposed method can be applied to a wide range of machine learning architectures and applications to represent complex feature dependencies explicitly when machine learning cannot achieve this by itself. Industrial applications can use the proposed technique to improve their predictions.
The Development of Second Language Grammars

Pages : 442
Book Description
A collection of papers reflecting the shift away from characterizing second language acquisition as either having, or not having, access to principles and parameters of Universal Grammar, and towards theories of putative L1 influence on the L2 learner.

Beyond Language Boundaries
Author: Marta Fernández-VillanuevaPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110456540
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
The way speakers in multilingual contexts develop own varieties in their interactions sheds light on code switching and multimodal dynamic co-constructions of grammar in use. This volume explores the intersection of multimodality and language use of multilingual speakers. Firstly, theoretical frames are discussed and empirical studies involving Catalan, German and Spanish as L1, L2 or FL are presented interconnecting verbal and gestural modalities into grammar description or exploring actions as sources for gestures, which may nonverbally represent the argument in German dynamic motion verbs. Other chapters focus on positionings in interviews, lexical access searches or proxemics in greetings and farewells. The contributions secondly focus on verbal features of language use in multilingual contexts related to self-representation and co-construction of identity through code-switching, deixis or argumentative reasoning in different communicative events based on multilingual data of languages including Croatian, English, Italian, Brazilian-Portuguese and Polish. The findings call for a reviewed conception of grammar description with implications also for the conceptualization of deixis, for L2/foreign language acquisition and language teaching policies.

Book Description
Since its foundation in May 1988, the Department of General and Applied Linguistics has issued -- at irregular intervals -- a number of volumes in the series Copenhagen Working Papers in Linguistics, in which staff members, graduate students and guest researchers have reported on their research activities. So far two volumes of papers on current research and three monographs have appeared in the series. The present volume contains contributions within the fields of general linguistics and historical linguistics and abstracts of papers and lectures by IAAS staff members and others affiliated to the department.

Author: The Generative Study of Second Language Acquisition
Author: Suzanne FlynnPublisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1317780647
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
The vast majority of work in theoretical linguistics from a generative perspective is based on first language acquisition and performance. The vast majority of work on second language acquisition is carried out by scholars and educators working within approaches other than that of generative linguistics. In this volume, this gap is bridged as leading generative linguists apply their intellectual and disciplinary skills to issues in second language acquisition. The results will be of interest to all those who study second language acquisition, regardless of their theoretical perspective, and all generative linguists, regardless of the topics on which they work.
