ELRI: A Decentralised Network of National Relay Stations to Collect, Prepare and Share Language Resources
We describe the European Language Resource Infrastructure (ELRI), a decentralised network to help collect, prepare and share language resources.
The BDCam\~oes Collection of Portuguese Literary Documents: a Research Resource for Digital Humanities and Language Technology
This paper presents the BDCam{\~o}es Collection of Portuguese Literary Documents, a new corpus of literary texts written in Portuguese that in its inaugural version includes close to 4 million words from over 200 complete documents from 83 authors in 14 genres, covering a time span from the 16th to the 21st century, and adhering to different orthographic conventions.
Reproduction and Revival of the Argument Reasoning Comprehension Task
Given a recent publication that pointed out spurious statistical cues in the data set used in the shared task, and that produced a revised version of it, we also evaluated the reproduced systems with this new data set.
The MWN.PT WordNet for Portuguese: Projection, Validation, Cross-lingual Alignment and Distribution
The objective of the present paper is twofold, to present the MWN. PT WordNet and to report on its construction and on the lessons learned with it.
A Shared Task of a New, Collaborative Type to Foster Reproducibility: A First Exercise in the Area of Language Science and Technology with REPROLANG2020
n this paper, we introduce a new type of shared task {---} which is collaborative rather than competitive {---} designed to support and fosterthe reproduction of research results.
Infrastructure for the Science and Technology of Language PORTULAN CLARIN
This paper presents the PORTULAN CLARIN Research Infrastructure for the Science and Technology of Language, which is part of the European research infrastructure CLARIN ERIC as its Portuguese national node, and belongs to the Portuguese National Roadmap of Research Infrastructures of Strategic Relevance.
Whom to Learn From? Graph- vs. Text-based Word Embeddings
Vectorial representations of meaning can be supported by empirical data from diverse sources and obtained with diverse embedding approaches.
Computational Complexity of Natural Languages: A Reasoned Overview
There has been an upsurge of research interest in natural language complexity.
WordNet Embeddings
Semantic networks and semantic spaces have been two prominent approaches to represent lexical semantics.
Predicting Brain Activation with WordNet Embeddings
The task of taking a semantic representation of a noun and predicting the brain activity triggered by it in terms of fMRI spatial patterns was pioneered by Mitchell et al. 2008.
Ways of Asking and Replying in Duplicate Question Detection
This paper presents the results of systematic experimentation on the impact in duplicate question detection of different types of questions across both a number of established approaches and a novel, superior one used to address this language processing task.
CINTIL DependencyBank PREMIUM - A Corpus of Grammatical Dependencies for Portuguese
This paper presents a new linguistic resource for the study and computational processing of Portuguese.
Bootstrapping a Hybrid MT System to a New Language Pair
The usual concern when opting for a rule-based or a hybrid machine translation (MT) system is how much effort is required to adapt the system to a different language pair or a new domain.
Word Sense-Aware Machine Translation: Including Senses as Contextual Features for Improved Translation Models
Although it is commonly assumed that word sense disambiguation (WSD) should help to improve lexical choice and improve the quality of machine translation systems, how to successfully integrate word senses into such systems remains an unanswered question.
Use of Domain-Specific Language Resources in Machine Translation
In this paper, we address the problem of Machine Translation (MT) for a specialised domain in a language pair for which only a very small domain-specific parallel corpus is available.
Evaluating Machine Translation in a Usage Scenario
In this document we report on a user-scenario-based evaluation aiming at assessing the performance of machine translation (MT) systems in a real context of use.
The Strategic Impact of META-NET on the Regional, National and International Level
This article provides an overview of the dissemination work carried out in META-NET from 2010 until early 2014; we describe its impact on the regional, national and international level, mainly with regard to politics and the situation of funding for LT topics.
A PropBank for Portuguese: the CINTIL-PropBank
With the CINTIL-International Corpus of Portuguese, an ongoing corpus annotated with fully flegded grammatical representation, sentences get not only a high level of lexical, morphological and syntactic annotation but also a semantic analysis that prepares the data to a manual specification step and thus opens the way for a number of tools and resources for which there is a great research focus at the present.
Treebanking by Sentence and Tree Transformation: Building a Treebank to support Question Answering in Portuguese
This paper presents CINTIL-QATreebank, a treebank composed of Portuguese sentences that can be used to support the development of Question Answering systems.
TimeBankPT: A TimeML Annotated Corpus of Portuguese
This procedure allowed for the detection of some errors in the annotations, that also affect the original English corpus.
