• Abstract: How can a learner systematically prepare for reading a book they are interested in? In this paper,we explore how computational linguistic methods such as distributional semantics, morphological clustering, and exercise generation can be combined with graph-based learner models to answer this question both conceptually and in practice. Based on the highly structured learner model and concepts from network analysis, the learner is guided to efficiently explore the targeted lexical space. They practice using multi-gap learning activities generated from the book focused on words that are central to the targeted lexical space. As such the approach offers a unique combination of computational linguistic methods with concepts from network analysis and the tutoring system domain to support learners in achieving their individual, reading task-based learning goals.

  We take inspiration from how human babies acquire their first language, and developed a computational process for word acquisition through comparative learning. Motivated by cognitive findings, we generated a small dataset that enables the computation models to compare the similarities and differences of various attributes. We frame the acquisition of words as not only the information filtration process, but also as representation-symbol mapping.

  We propose a novel method that combines transformer models with network analysis to form a self-referential representation of language use within a corpus of interest. Our approach produces linguistic relations strongly consistent with the underlying model as well as mathematically well-defined operations on them. It represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first unsupervised method to extract semantic networks directly from deep language models.

Our hope is that this work will inspire a universally agreed-upon approach to quantifying different types of learning.
