Talk Bank: a Multimodal Database of Communicative Interaction
Talk Bank: A Multimodal Database of Communicative Interaction 1. Overview The ongoing growth in computer power and connectivity has led to dramatic changes in the methodology of science and engineering. By stimulating fundamental theoretical discoveries in the analysis of semistructured data, we can to extend these methodological advances to the social and behavioral sciences. Specifically, we propose the construction of a major new tool for the social sciences, called TalkBank. The goal of TalkBank is the creation of a distributed, web- based data archiving system for transcribed video and audio data on communicative interactions. We will develop an XML-based annotation framework called Codon to serve as the formal specification for data in TalkBank. Tools will be created for the entry of new and existing data into the Codon format; transcriptions will be linked to speech and video; and there will be extensive support for collaborative commentary from competing perspectives. The TalkBank project will establish a framework that will facilitate the development of a distributed system of allied databases based on a common set of computational tools. Instead of attempting to impose a single uniform standard for coding and annotation, we will promote annotational pluralism within the framework of the abstraction layer provided by Codon. This representation will use labeled acyclic digraphs to support translation between the various annotation systems required for specific sub-disciplines. There will be no attempt to promote any single annotation scheme over others. Instead, by promoting comparison and translation between schemes, we will allow individual users to select the custom annotation scheme most appropriate for their purposes. -

CLIB aspires to foster the NLP community in Bulgaria and further the cooperation among researchers working in NLP for Bulgarian around the world. The need for a conference dedicated to NLP research dealing with or applicable to Bulgarian has been felt for quite some time. We believe that building a strong community of researchers and teams who have chosen to work on Bulgarian is a key factor to meeting the challenges and requirements posed to computational linguistics and NLP in Bulgaria. -
The Procedure of Lexico-Semantic Annotation of Składnica Treebank
The Procedure of Lexico-Semantic Annotation of Składnica Treebank Elzbieta˙ Hajnicz Institute of Computer Science, Polish Academy of Sciences ul. Ordona 21, 01-237 Warsaw, Poland [email protected] Abstract In this paper, the procedure of lexico-semantic annotation of Składnica Treebank using Polish WordNet is presented. Other semantically annotated corpora, in particular treebanks, are outlined first. Resources involved in annotation as well as a tool called Semantikon used for it are described. The main part of the paper is the analysis of the applied procedure. It consists of the basic and correction phases. During basic phase all nouns, verbs and adjectives are annotated with wordnet senses. The annotation is performed independently by two linguists. Multi-word units obtain special tags, synonyms and hypernyms are used for senses absent in Polish WordNet. Additionally, each sentence receives its general assessment. During the correction phase, conflicts are resolved by the linguist supervising the process. Finally, some statistics of the results of annotation are given, including inter-annotator agreement. The final resource is represented in XML files preserving the structure of Składnica. Keywords: treebanks, wordnets, semantic annotation, Polish 1. Introduction 2.

Shoumen, BULGARIA ii Preface The Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing (RANLP) conference, already in its eight year and ranked among the most influential NLP conferences, has always been a meeting venue for scientists coming from all over the world. Since 2009, we decided to give arena to the younger and less experienced members of the NLP community to share their results with an international audience. For this reason, further to the first successful and highly competitive Student Research Workshop associated with the conference RANLP 2009, we are pleased to announce the second edition of the workshop which is held during the main RANLP 2011 conference days on 13 September 2011. The aim of the workshop is to provide an excellent opportunity for students at all levels (Bachelor, Master, and Ph.D.) to present their work in progress or completed projects to an international research audience and receive feedback from senior researchers. We have received 31 high quality submissions, among which 6 papers have been accepted as regular oral papers, and 18 as posters. Each submission has been reviewed by -
MASC: the Manually Annotated Sub-Corpus of American English
MASC: The Manually Annotated Sub-Corpus of American English Nancy Ide*, Collin Baker**, Christiane Fellbaum†, Charles Fillmore**, Rebecca Passonneau†† *Vassar College Poughkeepsie, New York USA **International Computer Science Institute Berkeley, California USA †Princeton University Princeton, New Jersey USA ††Columbia University New York, New York USA E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract To answer the critical need for sharable, reusable annotated resources with rich linguistic annotations, we are developing a Manually Annotated Sub-Corpus (MASC) including texts from diverse genres and manual annotations or manually-validated annotations for multiple levels, including WordNet senses and FrameNet frames and frame elements, both of which have become significant resources in the international computational linguistics community. To derive maximal benefit from the semantic information provided by these resources, the MASC will also include manually-validated shallow parses and named entities, which will enable linking WordNet senses and FrameNet frames within the same sentences into more complex semantic structures and, because named entities will often be the role fillers of FrameNet frames, enrich the semantic and pragmatic information derivable from the sub-corpus. All MASC annotations will be published with detailed inter-annotator agreement measures. The MASC and its annotations will be freely downloadable from the ANC website, thus providing -

The rapidity of this acquisition is intriguing, and the underlying learning mechanisms are still largely unknown. Drawing on both experimental and modeling work, I will review recent research in this domain and illustrate specifically how both bottom-up and top-down cues contribute to infants’ acquisition of phonetic cat- egories and phonological rules. - 4 - TH DAY TUESDAY, 18 2 9:00-10:00, GRAND AMPHI PLENARY TALK What do the hands tell us about lan- guage development? Insights from de- velopment of speech, gesture and sign across languages Asli Ozyurek Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands Most research and theory on language development focus on children’s spoken utterances. However language development starting with the first words of children is multimodal. Speaking children produce gestures ac- companying and complementing their spoken utterances in meaningful ways through pointing or iconic ges- tures. -
3 Corpus Tools for Lexicographers
Comp. by: pg0994 Stage : Proof ChapterID: 0001546186 Date:14/5/12 Time:16:20:14 Filepath:d:/womat-filecopy/0001546186.3D31 OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – FIRST PROOF, 14/5/2012, SPi 3 Corpus tools for lexicographers ADAM KILGARRIFF AND IZTOK KOSEM 3.1 Introduction To analyse corpus data, lexicographers need software that allows them to search, manipulate and save data, a ‘corpus tool’. A good corpus tool is the key to a comprehensive lexicographic analysis—a corpus without a good tool to access it is of little use. Both corpus compilation and corpus tools have been swept along by general technological advances over the last three decades. Compiling and storing corpora has become far faster and easier, so corpora tend to be much larger than previous ones. Most of the first COBUILD dictionary was produced from a corpus of eight million words. Several of the leading English dictionaries of the 1990s were produced using the British National Corpus (BNC), of 100 million words. Current lexico- graphic projects we are involved in use corpora of around a billion words—though this is still less than one hundredth of one percent of the English language text available on the Web (see Rundell, this volume). The amount of data to analyse has thus increased significantly, and corpus tools have had to be improved to assist lexicographers in adapting to this change. Corpus tools have become faster, more multifunctional, and customizable. In the COBUILD project, getting concordance output took a long time and then the concordances were printed on paper and handed out to lexicographers (Clear 1987). -

Morphological Doublets in Croatian: a Multi-Methodological Analysis
Morphological Doublets in Croatian: A multi-methodological analysis By: Dario Lečić A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies 20 January, 2017 Acknowledgments Many a PhD student past and present will agree that doing a PhD is a time-consuming process with lots of ups and downs, motivational issues and even a number of nervous breakdowns. Having experienced all of these, I can only say that they were right. However, having reached the end of the tunnel, I have to admit that the feeling is great. I would like to use this opportunity to thank all the people who made this possible and who have helped me during these four years spent researching the intricate world of morphological doublets in Croatian. First of all, I would like to express my immense gratitude to my primary supervisor, Professor Neil Bermel from the Department or Russian and Slavonic Studies at the University of Sheffield for offering his guidance from day one. Our regular supervisory meetings as well as numerous e-mail exchanges have been eye-opening and I would not have been able to do this without you. I hope this dissertation will justify all the effort you have put into me as your PhD student. Even though the jurisdiction of the second supervisor as defined by the University of Sheffield officially stretches mostly to matters of the Doctoral Development Programme, my second supervisor, Dr Dagmar Divjak, nevertheless played a major role in this research as well, primarily in matters of statistics. -
