BASE TTS: Lessons from building a billion-parameter Text-to-Speech model on 100K hours of data (2024, background): “These sentences are designed to contain challenging tasks - parsing garden-path sentences [58], placing phrasal stress on long-winded compound nouns [59], producing emotional or whispered speech, or producing the correct phonemes for foreign words like "qi" or punctuations like "@" - none of which…”
Eye movements and spoken language comprehension: effects of visual context on syntactic ambiguity resolution. (2002, unknown): “Taken alone, these data might be used to argue for a theory in which context completely determines ambiguity resolution (e.g., Ni et al., 1996).”
Eye movements in reading words and sentences (2007, background): “However, Article 56 (Ni et al., 1996) cannot be dismissed so easily since disambiguation in that case was carried by the morphology of the otherwise-ambiguous verb (e.”
Unrestricted race: A new model of syntactic ambiguity resolution. (2000, background): “(NP attachment) According to Ni et al. (1996) , only functions as a form of discourse information (see also Paterson, Liversedge, & Underwood, in press).”
Reanalysis in Sentence Processing: Evidence against Current Constraint-Based and Two-Stage Models (2001, methodology): “Ni et al.’s (1996) ve sion of referential theory predicts that th parser initially adopts the NP analysis and o reanalyzes if that analysis becomes implau ble.”
Eye movements and on-line comprehension processes (2007, result): “A few studies have also reported a slowdown in the ambiguous region compared to an unambiguous control (Clifton et al., 2003; Kennison, 2001; Ni et al., 1996; Paterson et al., 1999; Schmauder and Egan, 1998).”
