Rethinking Text Attribute Transfer: A Lexical Analysis

Text attribute transfer is modifying certain linguistic attributes (e.g. sentiment, style, authorship, etc.) of a sentence and transforming them from one type to another. In this paper, we aim to analyze and interpret wh…

Recognizing Topic Change in Search Sessions of Digital Libraries based on Thesaurus and Classification System

Log analysis in Web search showed that user sessions often contain several different topics. This means sessions need to be segmented into parts which handle the same topic in order to give appropriate user support based…

Corpus Lexicography in a Wider Context

This paper describes a set of tools that offers comprehensive solutions for corpus lexicography. The tools perform a range of tasks, including construction of corpus lexicon, integrating information from external diction…

LEGATO: A flexible lexicographic annotation tool

This article is a report from an ongoing project aiming at analyzing lexical and grammatical competences of Swedish as a Second language (L2). To facilitate lexical analysis, we need access to metalinguistic information …

A Comprehensive Analysis of Twitter Trending Topics

In Twitter, a name, phrase, or topic that is mentioned at a greater rate than others is called a "trending topic" or simply "trend". Twitter trends list has a powerful ability to promote public events such as natural eve…

The Truth and Nothing but the Truth: Multimodal Analysis for Deception Detection

We propose a data-driven method for automatic deception detection in real-life trial data using visual and verbal cues. Using OpenFace with facial action unit recognition, we analyze the movement of facial features of th…

Content Extraction and Lexical Analysis from Customer-Agent Interactions

In this paper, we provide a lexical comparative analysis of the vocabulary used by customers and agents in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) environment and a potential solution to clean the data and extract relevant…

Multitask and Multilingual Modelling for Lexical Analysis

In Natural Language Processing (NLP), one traditionally considers a single task (e.g. part-of-speech tagging) for a single language (e.g. English) at a time. However, recent work has shown that it can be beneficial to ta…

TRAPACC and TRAPACCS at PARSEME Shared Task 2018: Neural Transition Tagging of Verbal Multiword Expressions

We describe the TRAPACC system and its variant TRAPACCS that participated in the closed track of the PARSEME Shared Task 2018 on labeling verbal multiword expressions (VMWEs). TRAPACC is a modified arc-standard transitio…

Chinese Lexical Analysis with Deep Bi-GRU-CRF Network

Lexical analysis is believed to be a crucial step towards natural language understanding and has been widely studied. Recent years, end-to-end lexical analysis models with recurrent neural networks have gained increasing…

Automatic Annotation of Semantic Term Types in the Complete ACL Anthology Reference Corpus

One Model to Rule them all: Multitask and Multilingual Modelling for Lexical Analysis

When learning a new skill, you take advantage of your preexisting skills and knowledge. For instance, if you are a skilled violinist, you will likely have an easier time learning to play cello. Similarly, when learning a…

Deep Learning in Lexical Analysis and Parsing

Neural networks, also with a fancy name deep learning, just right can overcome the above {``}feature engineering{''} problem. In theory, they can use non-linear activation functions and multiple layers to automatically f…

Parsing and MWE Detection: Fips at the PARSEME Shared Task

Identifying multiword expressions (MWEs) in a sentence in order to ensure their proper processing in subsequent applications, like machine translation, and performing the syntactic analysis of the sentence are interrelat…

The ATILF-LLF System for Parseme Shared Task: a Transition-based Verbal Multiword Expression Tagger

We describe the ATILF-LLF system built for the MWE 2017 Shared Task on automatic identification of verbal multiword expressions. We participated in the closed track only, for all the 18 available languages. Our system is…

Benchmarking Joint Lexical and Syntactic Analysis on Multiword-Rich Data

This article evaluates the extension of a dependency parser that performs joint syntactic analysis and multiword expression identification. We show that, given sufficient training data, the parser benefits from explicit …

Sarcasm Detection : Building a Contextual Hierarchy

The conundrum of understanding and classifying sarcasm has been dealt with by the traditional theorists as an analysis of a sarcastic utterance and the ironic situation that surrounds it. The problem with such an approac…
