Statistical learning and chunking are often seen as opposing perspectives on structured sequence learning. In this paper, I offer to idea of statistically-induced chunking as a way to unify both and apply it to language: rdcu.be/LePe (free read-only link)
Looks like a must read. Highly relevant to language.
Take a look at our new review on structured sequence learning across species and modalities!
