2.2 Named Entity Recognition DEGREE PROJECT IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2020 A compact language model for Swedish text anonymization VICTOR WIKLUND KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE A compact language model for Swedish text anonymization VICTOR WIKLUND Master in Computer Science Date: August 28, 2020 Supervisor: Mats Nordahl Examiner: Olov Engwall School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Swedish title: En kompakt språkmodell för svensk textanonymisering. 3 Abstract The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that came into effect in 2018 states that for personal information to be freely used for research and statistics it needs to be anonymized first. To properly anonymize a text one needs to identify the words that carry personally identifying information such as names, locations and organizations. Named Entity Recognition (NER) is the task of detecting these kinds of words and in the last decade a lot of progress has been made on it. This progress can be largely attributed to machine learn- ing, in particular the development of language models that are trained on vast amounts of textual data in the target language. These models are powerful but very computationally demanding to run, limiting their accessibility. AL- BERT is a recently developed language model that manages to provide almost the same level of performance at only a fraction of the size. In this thesis we explore the use of ALBERT as a component in Swedish anonymization by combining the model with a one-layer BiLSTM classifier and testing it on the Stockholm-Umeå corpus. The results show that the system can separate per- sonally identifying words from ordinary words 79.4% of the time and that the model performs the best when it comes to detecting names, with a F1-score of 87.7 percent. Looking at the average performance across eight categories we obtain a F1-score of 77.8% with five-fold cross-validation and 77.0 ± 0.2% on the test set with 95% confidence. We find that the system as-is could be used for the anonymization of some types of information, but would perhaps be better suited as an aid for a human controller. We discuss ways to enhance the performance of the system and conclude that ALBERT can be a useful component in Swedish anonymization, provided that it is optimized further. 4 Sammanfattning I och med dataskyddsförordningen (GDPR) som började gälla 2018 krävs det att personlig information måste anonymiseras innan den kan användas fritt för statistik och forskning. För att anonymisera en text krävs det att man kan upptäcka de ord som bär på personlig information såsom namn, platser och organisationer. Named Entity Recognition (NER) är ett område inom datave- tenskap som handlar om hur man automatiskt kan upptäcka dessa typer av ord, och under det senaste årtiondet flera framsteg gjorts inom det. Dessa framsteg är i allmänhet resultatet av kombinationen av maskininlärning och bättre dato- rer, men speciellt utvecklingen av allmänna språkmodeller tränade på massiva mängder språkdata har varit viktig. Dessa modeller är kraftfulla men kräver mycket systemresurser för att använda, vilket begränsar deras tillgänglighet. ALBERT är en nyutvecklad språkmodell som leverar liknande prestanda med bara en bråkdel av antalet parametrar. I det här arbetet utforskar vi användning- en av ALBERT för anonymisering av svensk text genom att kombinera model- len med en enkel BiLSTM-klassificerare och att testa den på Stockholm-Umeå korpuset. Våra resultat visar att systemet lyckas skilja på personligt identifie- rande information och vanliga ord i 79.4 procent av fallen samt att den är bäst på att känna igen namn, med en F1-poäng på 87.7 procent. Sett över de åtta mest intressanta ordkategorierna i korpuset erhåller vi en F1-poäng på 77.8% med femfaldig korsvalidering och 77.0 ± 0.2% på testdatan med 95% kon- fidens. Vi finner att systemet i dess nuvarande tillstånd skulle kunna anony- misera vissa typer av information, men att det troligtvis skulle fungera bättre tillsammans med en människa som dubbelkollar dess förslag. Vi diskuterar sätt att förbättra systemets prestanda och drar slutsatsen att ALBERT kan vara en användbar komponent i svensk anonymisering förutsatt att den optimeras till en högre grad.

This information can be everything from blog posts about your daily life to personal emails and medical history. Opinions on what information needs to be protected and to what degree may vary, but it is reasonable to state that most would prefer, if given the option, for their personal information to not be exploited and collected by others. At the same time the pursuit of perfect confidentiality and privacy should not be taken too far. Issues of feasibility aside there are a lot of useful things that can be done with personal information. Consider the case where one could better study the effects of a viral treatment with full access to patient data, or when one wants to analyze traffic flow with location data from cellphones to avoid congestion in cities, or perhaps look into trends in crime or education on a nation-wide scale. There are without a doubt benefits to this kind of research but the privacy of the individual should take precedence. One way to do this is to simply scrub or replace all information that could be used to identify an individual, a process known as anonymization or pseudonymization that was made compulsory on the 25th of May in 2018 as part of the EUs General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Accordingly one is only allowed to freely use private data for research and statistics if it isn’t possible to tie the data to a unique individual [42]. Detecting all such sensitive information is a time-consuming process that eventually becomes completely infeasible to perform manually as the amount of data to scan through grows too large. A natural way of countering this is by automation, and luckily the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has made great leaps the past decade. In particular the pieces of data that could be considered as personally identifying (such as names, locations, dates, 7 8 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION objects, organizations, products, etc.) fall under the scope of Named Entity Recognition (NER), an active subfield of NLP. Some of the best results achieved on named entity recognition were ob- tained with a language model released by Google known under the acronym BERT [10]. This model is computationally heavy however, with the base model requiring a GPU with 12-16 GB RAM to run, and larger models go- ing beyond that [10]. In fact most NLP models now require multiple instances of specialized hardware such as GPUs or TPUs, which limits the accessibility of the technology [38]. This constitutes a problem as high-quality NER is use- ful for all actors who deal with personal information, but not all have access to these resources. In 2020 Lan et al. [25] published a new model that went against the trend of increasing model complexity with their release of ALBERT, a much more compact version of BERT parameter-wise with a minor degradation in perfor- mance. This combination of few parameters and high performance in a single model makes state of the art NLP something more people could make use of, though given how recent the model is it has not yet been evaluated for NER at the time of writing [25].

Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Michael Brandon Rigby iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Michael Brandon Rigby Doctor of Philosophy Department of Romance Languages June 2017 Title: Interliminal Tongues: Self-translation in Contemporary Transatlantic Bilingual Poetry In this dissertation, I argue that self-translators embody a borderline sense of hybridity, both linguistically and culturally, and that the act of translation, along with its innate in-betweenness, is the context in which self-translators negotiate their fragmented identities and cultures. I use the poetry of Urayoán Noel, Juan Gelman, and Yolanda Castaño to demonstrate that they each uniquely use the process of self- translation, in conjunction with a bilingual presentation, to articulate their modern, hybrid identities. In addition, I argue that as a result, the act of self-translation establishes an interliminal space of enunciation that not only reflects an intercultural exchange consistent with hybridity, but fosters further cultural and linguistic interaction.

  • Renaissance Receptions of Ovid's Tristia Dissertation
    RENAISSANCE RECEPTIONS OF OVID’S TRISTIA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gabriel Fuchs, M.A. Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Frank T. Coulson, Advisor Benjamin Acosta-Hughes Tom Hawkins Copyright by Gabriel Fuchs 2013 ABSTRACT This study examines two facets of the reception of Ovid’s Tristia in the 16th century: its commentary tradition and its adaptation by Latin poets. It lays the groundwork for a more comprehensive study of the Renaissance reception of the Tristia by providing a scholarly platform where there was none before (particularly with regard to the unedited, unpublished commentary tradition), and offers literary case studies of poetic postscripts to Ovid’s Tristia in order to explore the wider impact of Ovid’s exilic imaginary in 16th-century Europe. After a brief introduction, the second chapter introduces the three major commentaries on the Tristia printed in the Renaissance: those of Bartolomaeus Merula (published 1499, Venice), Veit Amerbach (1549, Basel), and Hecules Ciofanus (1581, Antwerp) and analyzes their various contexts, styles, and approaches to the text. The third chapter shows the commentators at work, presenting a more focused look at how these commentators apply their differing methods to the same selection of the Tristia, namely Book 2. These two chapters combine to demonstrate how commentary on the Tristia developed over the course of the 16th century: it begins from an encyclopedic approach, becomes focused on rhetoric, and is later aimed at textual criticism, presenting a trajectory that ii becomes increasingly focused and philological.

Silva Centre for Classical Studies, School of Arts and Humanities University of Lisbon [email protected] Received March 2020 | Accepted May 2020 Abstract In this article, I examine the nature of Dido’s magic ritual in Aeneid 4, reading it as a magic ritual aimed at inducing forgetfulness. I argue that in burning his belongings, Dido intends to forget Aeneas and not to destroy him; for this purpose, I study this episode in the light of non-literary sources and of the poetic tradition concerning love magic and the obliteration of memory. Keywords Magic – memory – forgetfulness – Dido – Vergil 1 Introduction In Vergil’s Aeneid 4, Dido, who has fallen passionately in love with Aeneas, is unable to accept the prospect of his imminent departure from Carthage and is overcome by an impious furor that drives her almost to madness. In a moment when she has already decided to die (4.475), the queen confesses to her sister that she has found a solution to her problem. Dido pretends that a sorceress from a distant land has taught her a magical way either to bind Aeneas or to get rid of her love for him.

    Recommendations for the formal design of juristic scientific papers1 I. General For the preparation of legal term papers and thesis (Bachelor’s and Master’s theses), it is recommended that the following rules be applied. 1.
