Métricas epistemológicas para modelos basados en fractales lingüísticos de PLN

This work is part of a wider research named BIOTECH that intends to assure the quality of linguistic modeling activity for automatic systems, making it possible to automate the management of words and natural language. Words are considered part of the complex articulation of language expressions. BIOTECH aims to take it as a tool to evaluate and track linguistic and verbal communication distorsion in patients with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. The main contribution of this paper is to discuss the validity of fractals when used to model linguistic reasoning, and the relevance of considering not only statistics but also epistemology-related metrics. Furthermore, a set of metrics is introduced as a first approach to evaluate epistemological quality as well as statistical representativeness. The metrics are applied in a small dataset to evaluate a fractal model proposed for vowels in Spanish.
