Measuring language distance among historical varieties using perplexity. Application to European Portuguese.

1 code implementation COLING 2018 Jose Ramom Pichel Campos, Pablo Gamallo, I{\~n}aki Alegria

In our approach, we used a perplexity-based measure to calculate language distance between all the historical periods of a specific language: European Portuguese.

Measuring the compositionality of NV expressions in Basque by means of distributional similarity techniques

no code implementations LREC 2012 Antton Gurrutxaga, I{\~n}aki Alegria

Using our previous work with cooccurrence techniques as a baseline, the results point to improvements using the Indri index or Kullback-Leibler divergence, and a slight further improvement when used in combination with cooccurrence measures such as {\$}t{\$}-score, via rank-aggregation.

Evaluating Translation Quality and CLIR Performance of Query Sessions

no code implementations LREC 2016 Xabier Saralegi, Eneko Agirre, I{\~n}aki Alegria

Translation quality improved in all three types (generalization, specification, and drifting), and CLIR improved for generalization and specification sessions, preserving the performance in drifting sessions.
