  • JRC Eurovoc Indexer
    Published on EU Science Hub (https://ec.europa.eu/jrc) Home > Language Technology Resources > JRC Eurovoc Indexer JRC Eurovoc Indexer - JEX Introduction The EuroVoc Thesaurus JEX usage conditions Download JEX More information on JEX Acknowledgements Introduction Multilingual Eurovoc thesaurus descriptors are used by a large number of European Parliaments and Documentation Centres to manually index their large document collections. The assigned descriptors are then used to search and retrieve documents in the collection and to summarise the document contents for the users. view details As Eurovoc descriptors exist in one-to-one translations in almost thirty languages, they can be displayed in a language other than the text language and give users cross-lingual access to the information contained in each document. At the same time, EuroVoc is an ideal means to search in the user's language and to retrieve documents in other languages. The European Commission's (EC) Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed - and makes available - software that automatically assigns EuroVoc descriptors to documents in currently 22 languages. The system uses statistical Machine Learning methods that learn the multi-label categorisation rules from previously manually indexed documents. The method used can be described as profile- based category ranking. This software, called JRC EuroVoc Indexer, or short JEX, has been trained for 22 languages and is available for download from this site. The software allows users to re-train the software on their own data, even using their own, alternative classification systems. The EuroVoc Thesaurus The EuroVoc thesaurus was developed by the European Parliament (EP), in collaboration with the EU Publications Office (OP) and several national organisations for the indexing (cataloguing / classification / categorisation) of document collections in several languages.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate Swedish and Finnish hauliers’ experiences of using the European Modular System, EMS, which entails Sweden and Finland the use of longer and heavier vehicle combinations (LHV’s). In short, EMS consists of the longest semi-trailer, with a maximum length of 13,6 m, and the longest load-carrier according to C-class, with a maximum length of 7,82 m, allowed in EU. This results in vehicle combinations of 25,25 m. The maximum length within the rest of Europe is 18,75 m. Thus, by using LHV’s, the volume of three EU combinations can be transported by two EMS combinations. This study indicates that the use of LHV’s according to EMS have positive effect on economy and environment, while not affecting traffic safety negatively. Swedish hauliers have the possibility of using either the traditional 24 m road trains or 25,25 m LHV’s according to EMS for national long distance transports. Experiences of using EMS vehicle combinations are mostly positive. LHV’s according to EMS implies increased load area and flexibility compared to the 24 m road trains.

The Bulgarian data is web crawled, extracted from the original HTML format, filtered by document type, tokenised, sentence split, tagged and lemmatised with a fine-grained version of the Bulgarian Language Processing Chain, dependency parsed with NLP- Cube, annotated with named entities (persons, locations, organisations and others), noun phrases, IATE terms and EuroVoc descriptors. An orchestrator process has been developed to control the NLP pipeline performing an end-to-end data processing and annotation starting from the documents identification and ending in the generation of statistical reports. The Bulgarian MARCELL corpus consists of 25,283 documents (at the beginning of November 2019), which are classified into eleven types. Keywords: NLP pipeline, legislative corpus, Bulgarian language ● Domain-specific adaptation: the NLP pipeline 1. Introduction modules are tuned to annotate legal domain The paper presents the Bulgarian MARCELL corpus, part documents. of a recently developed multilingual corpus representing ● Multiword coverage: Multiwords are handled at the national legislation in seven European countries and the levels of annotation.

  • SEMAPRO 2020, the Fourteenth International
    SEMAPRO 2020 The Fourteenth International Conference on Advances in Semantic Processing ISBN: 978-1-61208-813-6 October 25 - 29, 2020 SEMAPRO 2020 Editors Tim vor der Brück, FFHS, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Switzerland 1 / 80 SEMAPRO 2020 Forward The Fourteenth International Conference on Advances in Semantic Processing (SEMAPRO 2020), held on October 22-29, 2020, continued a series of events that were initiated considering the complexity of understanding and processing information. Semantic processing considers contextual dependencies and adds to the individually acquired knowledge emergent properties and understanding. Hardware and software support and platforms were developed for semantically enhanced information retrieval and interpretation. Searching for video, voice and speech [VVS] raises additional problems to specialized engines with respect to text search. Contextual searching and special patterns-based techniques are current solutions. With the progress on ontology, web services, semantic social media, semantic web, deep web search /deep semantic web/, semantic deep web, semantic networking and semantic reasoning, SEMAPRO 2020 constituted the stage for the state-of-the-art on the most recent advances. The conference had the following tracks: Basics on semantics Domain-oriented semantic applications Semantic applications/platforms/tools We take here the opportunity to warmly thank all the members of the SEMAPRO 2020 technical program committee, as well as all the reviewers. The creation of such a high quality conference program would not have been possible without their involvement. We also kindly thank all the authors that dedicated much of their time and effort to contribute to SEMAPRO 2020. We truly believe that, thanks to all these efforts, the final conference program consisted of top quality contributions.

    Working Paper no.: 2017/02 Ilya Kashnitsky, Joop de Beer and Leo van Wissen Economic convergence in ageing Europe Economic convergence in ageing Europe Ilya Kashnitsky1, 2, Joop de Beer1 and Leo van Wissen1 Working Paper no.: 2017/02 1 Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute / University of Groningen 2 National Research University Higher School of Economics Corresponding author: [email protected]; [email protected] The authors are solely responsible for the content of the Working Paper. February 2017 Abstract European regions experience accelerating ageing, but there is substantial regional variation in the process. This paper examines the effect of this variation on regional economic cohesion in Europe. We measure the effect of convergence or divergence in the share of the working age population on convergence or divergence in economies of NUTS-2 regions. The effect of convergence or divergence in ageing on economic convergence or divergence has been smaller than the effect of changes in productivity and labour force participation; yet, this effect was still quite substantial. Convergence of ageing leads only to economic convergence when the share of the working age population in rich regions exceeds that in poor regions and the former regions experience a substantial decline in the share of the working age population or the latter regions experience an increase. Our empirical analysis shows that in the period 2003-2012 an inverse relationship between convergence in ageing and economic convergence was the rule rather than the exception. Keywords: regional cohesion, economic convergence, population ageing, convergence in ageing 1 1. Introduction Ageing is one main determinant of long-term economic prospects, that can possibly affect economic convergence (Kelley and Schmidt, 1995; de la Croix, Lindh, and Malmberg, 2009; Bloom, Canning, and Fink, 2010; Lee and Mason, 2010).
