  20. Adaptation is studied in NLP Learn new words from context But can we model human adaptation? van Schijndel and Linzen November 4, 2018 4 / 24 • Domain adaptation (Kuhn & de Mori, 1990; McClosky, 2010) News Model → Biomedical Text • Handling unknown words (Grave et al., 2015) • Style adaptation (Jaech & Ostendorf, 2017) Lawyer A → Lawyer B

  30. Experiment 2: Evaluate model against human adaptation van Schijndel and Linzen November 4, 2018 9 / 24

  31. Evaluation Measure: Surprisal Reading times can be predicted with surprisal (Smith and Levy, 2013) van Schijndel and Linzen November 4, 2018 10 / 24 Surprisal ( w i ) = − log P ( w i | w 1 .. i − 1 )

  32. Evaluation Data: Reading Times non-adaptive surprisal van Schijndel and Linzen November 4, 2018 11 / 24 • Timeline of adaptation is similar to human adaptation • Adaptive surprisal predicts reading times better than
