Exploring the Importance of Source Text in Automatic Post-Editing for Context-Aware Machine Translation
They also highlight blind spots in automatic methods for targeted evaluation and demonstrate the need for human assessment to evaluate document-level translation quality reliably.
A Mention-Based System for Revision Requirements Detection
Exploring aspects of sentential meaning that are implicit or underspecified in context is important for sentence understanding.
The University of Edinburgh-Uppsala University’s Submission to the WMT 2020 Chat Translation Task
Our baseline systems are transformer-big models that are pre-trained on the WMT’19 News Translation task and fine-tuned on pseudo-in-domain web crawled data and in-domain task data.
Coreference Strategies in English-German Translation
We present a study focusing on variation of coreferential devices in English original TED talks and news texts and their German translations.
ParCorFull2.0: a Parallel Corpus Annotated with Full Coreference
Similar to the previous version, this corpus has been created to address translation of coreference across languages, a phenomenon still challenging for machine translation (MT) and other multilingual natural language processing (NLP) applications.
A Dataset of Offensive Language in Kosovo Social Media
Social media are a central part of people’s lives.
Referential Cohesion A Challenge for Machine Translation Evaluation
The realisation of those cohesive structures is subject to different constraints and varying preferences in different languages.
A Dataset for the Detection of Dehumanizing Language
Dehumanization is a mental process that enables the exclusion and ill treatment of a group of people.
Parallel Data Helps Neural Entity Coreference Resolution
Coreference resolution is the task of finding expressions that refer to the same entity in a text.
Exploring Predictive Uncertainty and Calibration in NLP: A Study on the Impact of Method & Data Scarcity
We investigate the problem of determining the predictive confidence (or, conversely, uncertainty) of a neural classifier through the lens of low-resource languages.
deep-significance - Easy and Meaningful Statistical Significance Testing in the Age of Neural Networks
A lot of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) research is of an empirical nature.
Experimental Standards for Deep Learning in Natural Language Processing Research
The field of Deep Learning (DL) has undergone explosive growth during the last decade, with a substantial impact on Natural Language Processing (NLP) as well.
Unsupervised Discovery of Unaccusative and Unergative Verbs
We present an unsupervised method to detect English unergative and unaccusative verbs.
Prior and Posterior Networks: A Survey on Evidential Deep Learning Methods For Uncertainty Estimation
Popular approaches for quantifying predictive uncertainty in deep neural networks often involve distributions over weights or multiple models, for instance via Markov Chain sampling, ensembling, or Monte Carlo dropout.
How to Write a Bias Statement: Recommendations for Submissions to the Workshop on Gender Bias in NLP
At the Workshop on Gender Bias in NLP (GeBNLP), we'd like to encourage authors to give explicit consideration to the wider aspects of bias and its social implications.
Principal Word Vectors
The effect of these generalizations on the word vectors is intrinsically studied with regard to the spread and the discriminability of the word vectors.
Exploiting Cross-Lingual Hints to Discover Event Pronouns
Non-nominal co-reference is much less studied than nominal coreference, partly because of the lack of annotated corpora.
Findings of the 2016 WMT Shared Task on Cross-lingual Pronoun Prediction
We describe the design, the evaluation setup, and the results of the 2016 WMT shared task on cross-lingual pronoun prediction.
Getting Gender Right in Neural Machine Translation
Our contribution is two-fold: (1) the compilation of large datasets with speaker information for 20 language pairs, and (2) a simple set of experiments that incorporate gender information into NMT for multiple language pairs.
Gendered Ambiguous Pronoun (GAP) Shared Task at the Gender Bias in NLP Workshop 2019
The 1st ACL workshop on Gender Bias in Natural Language Processing included a shared task on gendered ambiguous pronoun (GAP) resolution.
Cross-lingual Incongruences in the Annotation of Coreference
In the present paper, we deal with incongruences in English-German multilingual coreference annotation and present automated methods to discover them.
Entity Decisions in Neural Language Modelling: Approaches and Problems
We explore different approaches to explicit entity modelling in language models (LM).
A Pronoun Test Suite Evaluation of the English--German MT Systems at WMT 2018
We evaluate the output of 16 English-to-German MT systems with respect to the translation of pronouns in the context of the WMT 2018 competition.
Discourse-Related Language Contrasts in English-Croatian Human and Machine Translation
We present an analysis of a number of coreference phenomena in English-Croatian human and machine translations.
Pronoun Translation in English-French Machine Translation: An Analysis of Error Types
Pronouns are a long-standing challenge in machine translation.
Automatic Reference-Based Evaluation of Pronoun Translation Misses the Point
We compare the performance of the APT and AutoPRF metrics for pronoun translation against a manually annotated dataset comprising human judgements as to the correctness of translations of the PROTEST test suite.
Universal Word Segmentation: Implementation and Interpretation
Word segmentation is a low-level NLP task that is non-trivial for a considerable number of languages.
Forms of Anaphoric Reference to Organisational Named Entities: Hoping to widen appeal, they diversified
Proper names of organisations are a special case of collective nouns.
Event versus entity co-reference: Effects of context and form of referring expression
Anaphora resolution systems require both an enumeration of possible candidate antecedents and an identification process of the antecedent.
Recall is the Proper Evaluation Metric for Word Segmentation
We extensively analyse the correlations and drawbacks of conventionally employed evaluation metrics for word segmentation.
What is it? Disambiguating the different readings of the pronoun `it'
In this paper, we address the problem of predicting one of three functions for the English pronoun {`}it{'}: anaphoric, event reference or pleonastic.
Discovery of Discourse-Related Language Contrasts through Alignment Discrepancies in English-German Translation
In this paper, we analyse alignment discrepancies for discourse structures in English-German parallel data {--} sentence pairs, in which discourse structures in target or source texts have no alignment in the corresponding parallel sentences.
