The Past, Present, and Future of Typological Databases in NLP

no code implementations20 Oct 2023 Emi Baylor, Esther Ploeger, Johannes Bjerva

We propose that such a view of typology has significant potential in the future, including in language modeling in low-resource scenarios.

CreoleVal: Multilingual Multitask Benchmarks for Creoles

1 code implementation30 Oct 2023 Heather Lent, Kushal Tatariya, Raj Dabre, Yiyi Chen, Marcell Fekete, Esther Ploeger, Li Zhou, Ruth-Ann Armstrong, Abee Eijansantos, Catriona Malau, Hans Erik Heje, Ernests Lavrinovics, Diptesh Kanojia, Paul Belony, Marcel Bollmann, Loïc Grobol, Miryam de Lhoneux, Daniel Hershcovich, Michel DeGraff, Anders Søgaard, Johannes Bjerva

Creoles represent an under-explored and marginalized group of languages, with few available resources for NLP research. While the genealogical ties between Creoles and a number of highly-resourced languages imply a significant potential for transfer learning, this potential is hampered due to this lack of annotated data.

Multilingual Gradient Word-Order Typology from Universal Dependencies

no code implementations2 Feb 2024 Emi Baylor, Esther Ploeger, Johannes Bjerva

While information from the field of linguistic typology has the potential to improve performance on NLP tasks, reliable typological data is a prerequisite.

What is 'Typological Diversity' in NLP?

1 code implementation6 Feb 2024 Esther Ploeger, Wessel Poelman, Miryam de Lhoneux, Johannes Bjerva

We recommend future work to include an operationalization of 'typological diversity' that empirically justifies the diversity of language samples.

A Hybrid Rule-Based and Neural Coreference Resolution System with an Evaluation on Dutch Literature

1 code implementation CRAC (ACL) 2021 Andreas van Cranenburgh, Esther Ploeger, Frank van den Berg, Remi Thüss

We introduce a modular, hybrid coreference resolution system that extends a rule-based baseline with three neural classifiers for the subtasks mention detection, mention attributes (gender, animacy, number), and pronoun resolution.
