UPB at SemEval-2021 Task 1: Combining Deep Learning and Hand-Crafted Features for Lexical Complexity Prediction

no code implementations SEMEVAL 2021 George-Eduard Zaharia, Dumitru-Clementin Cercel, Mihai Dascalu

Our models are applicable on both subtasks and achieve good performance results, with a MAE below 0. 07 and a Person correlation of . 73 for single word identification, as well as a MAE below 0. 08 and a Person correlation of . 79 for multiple word targets.

UPB at SemEval-2021 Task 7: Adversarial Multi-Task Learning for Detecting and Rating Humor and Offense

no code implementations SEMEVAL 2021 Răzvan-Alexandru Smădu, Dumitru-Clementin Cercel, Mihai Dascalu

Detecting humor is a challenging task since words might share multiple valences and, depending on the context, the same words can be even used in offensive expressions.

Cross-Lingual Transfer Learning for Complex Word Identification

no code implementations2 Oct 2020 George-Eduard Zaharia, Dumitru-Clementin Cercel, Mihai Dascalu

Our aim is to provide evidence that the proposed models can learn the characteristics of complex words in a multilingual environment by relying on the CWI shared task 2018 dataset available for four different languages (i. e., English, German, Spanish, and also French).

Romanian Diacritics Restoration Using Recurrent Neural Networks

no code implementations6 Sep 2020 Stefan Ruseti, Teodor-Mihai Cotet, Mihai Dascalu

Diacritics restoration is a mandatory step for adequately processing Romanian texts, and not a trivial one, as you generally need context in order to properly restore a character.

Building a Comprehensive Romanian Knowledge Base for Drug Administration

no code implementations RANLP 2019 Bogdan Nicula, Mihai Dascalu, Maria-Dorinela S{\^\i}rbu, {\textcommabelow{S}}tefan Tr{\u{a}}u{\textcommabelow{s}}an-Matu, Alex Nu{\textcommabelow{t}}{\u{a}}, ru

Information on drug administration is obtained traditionally from doctors and pharmacists, as well as leaflets which provide in most cases cumbersome and hard-to-follow details.
