    Abstract

    We present a learning device able to deduce a set of Danish color and shape terms. Only two data sources are available to the learner: A phonetic transcription of a human informant solving a description task, and a minimal formal model of the picture being described. The system thus contains no preconceived lexical, morphological, or semantic categories. The test data are from the phonetic corpus DanPASS, a standard Danish reference corpus. The learning device, called InShape-2, is an early result of an ambitious research programme at CMOL on data-driven language learning.
