    <title>Emily Prud&#39;hommeaux: Distributional semantic models for the evaluation of disordered language</title>
    <link>http://www.cs.rochester.edu/dept/seminar/view/819</link>
    <description>[Friday, May 24, 2013 at 12:45 PM in CSB 703] Atypical semantic and pragmatic expression is frequently reported in the language of children with autism. Although this atypicality often manifests itself in the use of unusual or unexpected words and phrases, the rate of use of such unexpected words is rarely directly measured or quantified. In this paper, we use distributional semantic models to automatically identify unexpected words in narrative retellings by children with autism. The classification of unexpected words is sufficiently accurate to distinguish the retellings of children with autism from those with typical development. These techniques demonstrate the potential of applying automated language analysis techniques to clinically elicited language data for diagnostic purposes.</description>
