Homonymy and Polysemy Detection with Multilingual Information
Deciding whether a semantically ambiguous word is homonymous or polysemous is equivalent to establishing whether it has any pair of senses that are semantically unrelated.
black[LSCDiscovery shared task] UAlberta at LSCDiscovery: Lexical Semantic Change Detection via Word Sense Disambiguation
We describe our two systems for the shared task on Lexical Semantic Change Discovery in Spanish.
On Universal Colexifications
Colexification occurs when two distinct concepts are lexified by the same word.
Improving Word Sense Disambiguation with Translations
It has been conjectured that multilingual information can help monolingual word sense disambiguation (WSD).
UAlberta at SemEval-2021 Task 2: Determining Sense Synonymy via Translations
We describe the University of Alberta systems for the SemEval-2021 Word-in-Context (WiC) disambiguation task.
WiC = TSV = WSD: On the Equivalence of Three Semantic Tasks
The Word-in-Context (WiC) task has attracted considerable attention in the NLP community, as demonstrated by the popularity of the recent MCL-WiC SemEval shared task.
Semi-Supervised and Unsupervised Sense Annotation via Translations
Our two unsupervised methods refine sense annotations produced by a knowledge-based WSD system via lexical translations in a parallel corpus.
One Sense Per Translation
The idea of using lexical translations to define sense inventories has a long history in lexical semantics.
UAlberta at SemEval-2020 Task 2: Using Translations to Predict Cross-Lingual Entailment
We investigate the hypothesis that translations can be used to identify cross-lingual lexical entailment.
Low-Resource G2P and P2G Conversion with Synthetic Training Data
This paper presents the University of Alberta systems and results in the SIGMORPHON 2020 Task 1: Multilingual Grapheme-to-Phoneme Conversion.
Synonymy = Translational Equivalence
Synonymy and translational equivalence are the relations of sameness of meaning within and across languages.
Cognate Projection for Low-Resource Inflection Generation
We propose cognate projection as a method of crosslingual transfer for inflection generation in the context of the SIGMORPHON 2019 Shared Task.
Joint Approach to Deromanization of Code-mixed Texts
The conversion of romanized texts back to the native scripts is a challenging task because of the inconsistent romanization conventions and non-standard language use.
One Homonym per Translation
The study of homonymy is vital to resolving fundamental problems in lexical semantics.
Efficient Sequence Labeling with Actor-Critic Training
We set out to establish RNNs as an attractive alternative to CRFs for sequence labeling.
String Transduction with Target Language Models and Insertion Handling
Many character-level tasks can be framed as sequence-to-sequence transduction, where the target is a word from a natural language.
You Shall Know the Most Frequent Sense by the Company it Keeps
Identification of the most frequent sense of a polysemous word is an important semantic task.
Comparison of Assorted Models for Transliteration
We report the results of our experiments in the context of the NEWS 2018 Shared Task on Transliteration.
Identifying Cognate Sets Across Dictionaries of Related Languages
We present a system for identifying cognate sets across dictionaries of related languages.
Morphological Analysis without Expert Annotation
The task of morphological analysis is to produce a complete list of lemma+tag analyses for a given word-form.
Bootstrapping Unsupervised Bilingual Lexicon Induction
The task of unsupervised lexicon induction is to find translation pairs across monolingual corpora.
Decoding Anagrammed Texts Written in an Unknown Language and Script
Algorithmic decipherment is a prime example of a truly unsupervised problem.
Extracting Family Relationship Networks from Novels
We present an approach to the extraction of family relations from literary narrative, which incorporates a technique for utterance attribution proposed recently by Elson and McKeown (2010).
