For other uses, see Savoy (disambiguation) Savoy (French: Savoie, pronounced {{IPA/savwa/}}; Franco-Provençal: Savouè; Italian: Savoia) is a region of western Europe that emerged, along with the free communes of Switzerland, following the collapse of the Frankish Kingdom of Burgundy.
In 1714, as a consequence of the War of the Spanish Succession, Savoy was technically subsumed into the Kingdom of Sicily, then (after that island was traded to Austria for Sardinia) the Kingdom of Sardinia from 1720.
It is worth noting that the seat of the Savoyards remained in Turin, in Piedmont, and the name change was really just a political maneuver designed to secure a change in the state's status from duchy to kingdom.

 Exploring the effect of experience on a recursive neural network model of structural preferences   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Experience-based theories of structural disambiguation preferences (e.g., Mitchell et al, 1995) claim that people disambiguate in a way which is consistent with their past experience of syntactic configurations.
We have previously presented a recursive neural network model, which is trained to disambiguate by recognising the correct partial tree (henceforth "incremental tree") spanning the sentence from the first word to the current word, given a (usually very large) set of alternatives generated from a large-scale treebank grammar.
Syntactic disambiguation requires choosing the correct attachment site (anchor), and the correct tree fragment (connection path) to connect the current word with the previous incremental tree.
