Taxonomy Builder: a Data-driven and User-centric Tool for Streamlining Taxonomy Construction

no code implementations NAACL (HCINLP) 2022 Mihai Surdeanu, John Hungerford, Yee Seng Chan, Jessica MacBride, Benjamin Gyori, Andrew Zupon, Zheng Tang, Haoling Qiu, Bonan Min, Yan Zverev, Caitlin Hilverman, Max Thomas, Walter Andrews, Keith Alcock, Zeyu Zhang, Michael Reynolds, Steven Bethard, Rebecca Sharp, Egoitz Laparra

An existing domain taxonomy for normalizing content is often assumed when discussing approaches to information extraction, yet often in real-world scenarios there is none. When one does exist, as the information needs shift, it must be continually extended.

A Dataset and Evaluation Framework for Complex Geographical Description Parsing

2 code implementations COLING 2020 Egoitz Laparra, Steven Bethard

But creating a dataset for this complex geoparsing task is difficult and, if done manually, would require a huge amount of effort to annotate the geographical shapes of not only the geolocation described but also the reference toponyms.

Pre-trained Contextualized Character Embeddings Lead to Major Improvements in Time Normalization: a Detailed Analysis

no code implementations SEMEVAL 2019 Dongfang Xu, Egoitz Laparra, Steven Bethard

Recent studies have shown that pre-trained contextual word embeddings, which assign the same word different vectors in different contexts, improve performance in many tasks.
