• Title: Exploration of the Usage of Color Terms by Color-blind Participants in Online Discussion Platforms
• Authors: Ella Rabinovich and Boaz Carmeli
• Abstract summary: We show that red-green color-blind speakers use the "red" and "green" color terms in less predictable contexts. These findings shed some new and interesting light on the role of sensory experience on our linguistic system.

• Abstract: Prominent questions about the role of sensory vs. linguistic input in the way we acquire and use language have been extensively studied in the psycholinguistic literature. However, the relative effect of various factors in a person's overall experience on their linguistic system remains unclear. We study this question by making a step forward towards a better understanding of the conceptual perception of colors by color-blind individuals, as reflected in their spontaneous linguistic productions. Using a novel and carefully curated dataset, we show that red-green color-blind speakers use the "red" and "green" color terms in less predictable contexts, and in linguistic environments evoking mental image to a lower extent, when compared to their normal-sighted counterparts. These findings shed some new and interesting light on the role of sensory experience on our linguistic system.

  We take a natural-language-centric approach to analyzing discrete visual languages. We show that higher token innovation drives greater entropy and lower compression, with tokens predominantly representing object parts. We also show that visual languages lack cohesive grammatical structures, leading to higher perplexity and weaker hierarchical organization compared to natural languages.

  We show that there is considerable alignment between a defined color space and the feature space defined by a language model. Our results show that while color space alignment holds for monolexemic, highly pragmatic color descriptions, this alignment drops considerably in the presence of examples that exhibit elements of real linguistic usage.

  We introduce a method for the analysis of text that takes implicitly communicated content explicitly into account. We use a large language model to produce sets of propositions that are inferentially related to the text that has been observed. Our results suggest that modeling the meanings behind observed language, rather than the literal text alone, is a valuable direction for NLP.

  We collect 110,000 non-trivial human annotations of foreground and background color labels from visual recognition benchmarks. We validate the use of our datasets by demonstrating that the level of color discrimination has a dominating effect on the performance of machine perception models. Our findings suggest that object recognition tasks such as classification and localization are susceptible to color vision bias.

  We show that speakers' referential expressions depart from communicative ideals in ways that help illuminate the nature of pragmatic language use. By adopting neural networks as learning agents, we show that overmodification is more likely with environmental features that are infrequent or salient.

  We employ a dataset of monolexemic color terms and color chips represented in CIELAB, a color space with a perceptually meaningful distance metric. Using two methods of evaluating the structural alignment of colors in this space with text-derived color term representations, we find significant correspondence. We find that warmer colors are, on average, better aligned to the perceptual color space than cooler ones.
