....of what structural analysis is assigned to an overt form is intentionally left unasked. Examples of techniques applied in this way to metrical stress are the nearest neighbor method combined with a statistically trainable distance metric (Daelemans, Gillis, Durieux, 1994) perceptron networks (Gupta Touretzky, 1994), and recurrent backpropagation networks (Joanisse Curtin, 1999) The studies of Joanisse Curtin, and of Daelemans, Gillis Durieux evaluated their models on only a single language (Dutch) the latter study restricted the input to only the final three syllables of words, preempting any ....

....and great variation of human language data, and that a more empiricist learning paradigm is possible. Such data driven models include the stress acquisition models of Daelemans, Gillis, and Durieux (1994) an application of Instance Based Learning (IBL, Aha, Kibler, and Albert 1991) and Gupta and Touretzky (1977) (an application of Error Back Propagation (BP) as well as Ellison s (1992) Minimum Description Length (MDL) based model of the acquisition of the basic concepts of syllabicity and the sonority hierarchy. In each of these cases a general, domain independent learning rule (BP, IBL, MDL) is used ....

Metrical stress was selected for the current investigation because it permits the issue of input ....

.... raced past the barn as an embedded relative clause. and thresholds as implicit resource bounds and focus on language learning rather than on language use. Notable efforts include systems that learn letter to sound rules [SR87] coarticulation [GL90] and syllable stress patterns within words [GT91] In an interesting departure from most connectionist work, Dell [Del85, Del88] addresses a performance issue directly. His simulations produce word pronunciation errors as a consequence of activations of phonemes but also as a consequence of speech rate higher speech rates produces more ....

....This is a phenomenon characteristic of the macrocosm of the linguistic system in general. 1. 2 MACHINE LEARNING OF METRICAL PHENOMENA Recently, computational learning models that specifically address the problem of how to learn the regularities of stress assignment have been proposed: Gupta Touretzky (1991), Dresher Kaye (1990) Nyberg (1991) They all approach the learning problem from the angle of the principles and parameters framework (Chomsky 1981) In this approach the learner comes to the task of language learning equipped with a priori knowledge incorporated in a universal grammar that ....

....Common to the systems referred to is that they try to fix the values of parameters relevant to the metrical domain. The specific approaches taken differ, however, with respect to important dimensions. Dresher Kaye (1990) and Nyberg (1991) explicitly incorporate a set of parameters, while Gupta Touretzky (1991) aim at discovering them. Dresher Kaye implement a deterministic learner while Nyberg s is a non deterministic one. The research reported in this paper aims at exploring the potential of learning algorithms that share a data driven (empiricist) mode of learning instead of the nativist approach ....

....these works also treat many languages whose stress patterns could not be accounted for in terms of these parameters alone. To bring the model to the point where it would equal their empirical coverage, a number of other parameters would have to be added. D K, p. 175) This claim is also made by Gupta Touretzky (1994) who point out a number of languages whose stress systems cannot be accurately covered by the proposed parameter set. 3 For reasons to be explained later, D K do not take the defooting or destressing parameter (P9) into account when calculating this figure.
