Abstract
A number of different measures have been proposed for evaluating computational models of human syntactic category acquisition. They all rely on a gold standard set of manually determined categories. However, children’s syntactic categories change during language development, so evaluating against a fixed and final set of adult categories is not appropriate. In this paper, we propose a new measure, substitutable precision and recall, based on the idea that words which occur in similar
