A Gentle Introduction to Deep Nets and Opportunities for the Future

no code implementations ACL 2022 Kenneth Church, Valia Kordoni, Gary Marcus, Ernest Davis, Yanjun Ma, Zeyu Chen

The first half of this tutorial will make deep nets more accessible to a broader audience, following “Deep Nets for Poets” and “A Gentle Introduction to Fine-Tuning.” We will also introduce GFT (general fine tuning), a little language for fine tuning deep nets with short (one line) programs that are as easy to code as regression in statistics packages such as R using glm (general linear models).

Metaphor annotation for German

no code implementations LREC 2022 Markus Egg, Valia Kordoni

For the corpus, we developed extended annotation guidelines, which specifically focus not only on the identification of these metaphoric contexts but also analyse in detail specific linguistic challenges for metaphor annotation that emerge due to the grammar of German.

Benchmarking: Past, Present and Future

1 code implementation ACL (BPPF) 2021 Kenneth Church, Mark Liberman, Valia Kordoni

There used to be more top-down leadership from government (and industry, in the case of systems, with benchmarks such as SPEC).

Beyond Multiword Expressions: Processing Idioms and Metaphors

no code implementations ACL 2018 Valia Kordoni

Idioms and metaphors are characteristic to all areas of human activity and to all types of discourse.

Beyond Words: Deep Learning for Multiword Expressions and Collocations

no code implementations ACL 2017 Valia Kordoni

There is now a lot of work which goes beyond this by adopting a distributed representation of words, by constructing a so-called ``neural embedding'' or vector space representation of each word or document.

Enhancing Access to Online Education: Quality Machine Translation of MOOC Content

no code implementations LREC 2016 Valia Kordoni, Antal Van den Bosch, Katia Lida Kermanidis, Vilelmini Sosoni, Kostadin Cholakov, Iris Hendrickx, Matthias Huck, Andy Way

The present work is an overview of the TraMOOC (Translation for Massive Open Online Courses) research and innovation project, a machine translation approach for online educational content.

Multiword Expressions in Machine Translation

no code implementations LREC 2014 Valia Kordoni, Iliana Simova

This work describes an experimental evaluation of the significance of phrasal verb treatment for obtaining better quality statistical machine translation (SMT) results.

Task-Driven Linguistic Analysis based on an Underspecified Features Representation

no code implementations LREC 2012 Stasinos Konstantopoulos, Valia Kordoni, Nicola Cancedda, Vangelis Karkaletsis, Dietrich Klakow, Jean-Michel Renders

In this paper we explore a task-driven approach to interfacing NLP components, where language processing is guided by the end-task that each application requires.

Using Verb Subcategorization for Word Sense Disambiguation

no code implementations LREC 2012 Will Roberts, Valia Kordoni

We develop a model for predicting verb sense from subcategorization information and integrate it into SSI-Dijkstra, a wide-coverage knowledge-based WSD algorithm.
