Syntactic Analysis

Many investisators have recognized that so- phisticated mechanical translation or other computational linguistic systems will require language learning capa- bilities, both in the ability to discover and verify new descriptive …...

This paper presents a lexicon-based approach to syntactic analysis, l,exicase, and applies it to a lexicon driven computatlolml parsing system. The basic descriptive mechanism in a l,exicase grammar is lexieal …...

Automatic book indexing systems are based on the generation of phrase struc- tures capable of reflecting text content. • Some approaches are given for the automatic construction of back-of-book indexes …...

The precise formulation of derivation for tree- adjoining grammars has important ramifications for a wide variety of uses of the formalism, from syntactic analysis to semantic interpretation and statistical language …...

We have analyzed 607 sentences of spontaneous human- computer speech data containing repairs (drawn from a cor- pus of 10,718). We present here criteria and techniques for automatically detecting the …...

The effect of selecting varying numbers and kinds of fea- tures for use in predicting category membership was inves- tigated on the Reuters and MUC-3 text categorization data sets. Good …...

Prosody can be useful in resolving certain lex- ical and structural ambiguities in spoken English. In this paper we present some results of employ- ing two types of prosodic information, …...

In data-oriented language processing, an annotated language corpus is used as a stochastic grammar. The most probable analysis of a new sentence is constructed by combining fragments from the corpus …...

AbstractThe paper describes an approach to developing an interactive MT system for translating technical texts on the example of translating patent claims between Russian and English. The approach conforms to …...

We describe and evaluate an implemented system for general-knowledge question answering. The sys- tem combines techniques for standard ad-hoc infor- mation retrieval (IR), query-dependent text summa- rization, and shallow syntactic …...

Ambiguity is the fundamental property of natural language. Perhaps, the most bur- densome case of ambiguity manifests itself on the syntactic level of analysis. In order to face up to …...

In this paper, we describe an algorithm that employs syntactic and statistical analysis to extract bilingual collocations from a parallel corpus. The preferred syntactic patterns are obtained from idioms and …...

. This paper presents a syntactic analysis of a fragment of Amharic noun phrases. Amharic noun phrases possess some peculiar characteristics especially relating to the syntax of the definite article. …...

Statistical language models using n-gram approach have been under the criticism of neglecting large-span syntactic-semantic in- formation that influences the choice of the next word in a language. One of …...

. This paper presents and evaluates an original approach to automatically align bitexts at the word level. It relies on a syntactic dependency analysis of the texts and uses a …...

. Patent machine translation is one of main target areas of current practical MT systems. Patent documents have their own peculiar description style. Especially, abstracts or claims in patent documents …...

This paper reports the effect of corpus size on case frame acquisition for discourse analysis in Japanese. For this study, we collected a Japanese corpus consisting of up to 100 …...

AbstractPlain text corpora contain much information which can only be accessed through human annotation and semantic analysis, which is typically very time consuming to perform. Analysis of such texts at …...

AbstractThis paper reports on the annotation of a corpus of 1 million words with four semantic annotation layers, including named entities, co- reference relations, semantic roles and spatial and temporal …...

AbstractThe Quranic Arabic Dependency Treebank (QADT) is part of the Quranic Arabic Corpus (http://corpus.quran.com), an online linguistic resource organized by the University of Leeds, and developed through online collaborative annotation. …...

We present a novel scheme to apply fac- tored phrase-based SMT to a language pair with very disparate morphological struc- tures. Our approach relies on syntac- tic analysis on the …...

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce the Lefff, a freely available, accurate and large-coverage morphological and syntactic lexicon for French, used in many NLP tools such as large-coverage parsers. We first …...

Syntactic analysis is a fundamental phase in NLP (Natural Language Processing) do- main. This phase occurs in several applica- tions and at different levels. Moreover, it wasn’t spilled in domain …...

AbstractWe give an overview of our approach to the extraction of interactions between pharmacogenomic entities like drugs, genes and diseases and suggest classes of interaction types driven by data from …...

AbstractDue to the increase in the number and depth of analyses required over the text, like entity recognition, POS tagging, syntactic analysis, etc. the annotation in-line has become unpractical. In …...

AbstractThis paper presents a linguistic processing pipeline for Bulgarian including morphological analysis, lemmatization and syntactic analysis of Bulgarian texts. The morphological analysis is performed by three modules ― two statistical-based …...

In this paper we propose an approach for the automatic enrichment of standardized electronic dictionaries by the semantic classes. This approach consists of three phases. The first phase treat the …...

We present an approach to Arabic auto- matic diacritization that integrates syntac- tic analysis with morphological tagging through improving the prediction of case and state features. Our best system in- …...

Users combine attributes and types to describe and classify entities into cate- gories. These categories are fundamen- tal for organising knowledge in a decen- tralised way acting as tags and …...

. The medical area conveys very specific terms (p. ex., blepharospasm, appendicec- tomy), which are difficult to understand by people without medical training. We propose an au- tomatic method for …...

AbstractThe paper introduces a “train once, use many” approach for the syntactic analysis of phrasal compounds (PC) of the type XP+N like “Would you like to sit on my knee?” …...

AbstractThe literature in automated sarcasm detection has mainly focused on lexical-, syntactic- and semantic-level analysis of text. However, a sarcastic sentence can be expressed with contextual presumptions, background and commonsense …...

AbstractWe present the Hebrew Essay Corpus: an annotated corpus of Hebrew language argumentative essays authored by prospective higher-education students. The corpus includes both essays by native speakers, written as part …...

AbstractWe present Expected Statistic Regulariza tion (ESR), a novel regularization technique that utilizes low-order multi-task structural statistics to shape model distributions for semi- supervised learning on low-resource datasets. We study …...
