The Romanian Neuter Examined Through A Two-Gender N-Gram Classification System
A recent analysis of the Romanian gender system described in (Bateman and Polinsky, 2010), based on older observations, argues that there are two lexically unspecified noun classes in the singular and two different ones in the plural and that what is generally called neuter in Romanian shares the class in the singular with masculines, and the class in the plural with feminines based not only on agreement features but also on form.

Using Word Embeddings to Translate Named Entities
In this paper we investigate the usefulness of neural word embeddings in the process of translating Named Entities (NEs) from a resource-rich language to a language low on resources relevant to the task at hand, introducing a novel, yet simple way of obtaining bilingual word vectors.

Exploring Optimism and Pessimism in Twitter Using Deep Learning
Identifying optimistic and pessimistic viewpoints and users from Twitter is useful for providing better social support to those who need such support, and for minimizing the negative influence among users and maximizing the spread of positive attitudes and ideas.
Content Extraction and Lexical Analysis from Customer-Agent Interactions
In this paper, we provide a lexical comparative analysis of the vocabulary used by customers and agents in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) environment and a potential solution to clean the data and extract relevant content for NLP.
Studying Laws of Semantic Divergence across Languages using Cognate Sets
Semantic divergence in related languages is a key concern of historical linguistics.
Linguistic classification: dealing jointly with irrelevance and inconsistency
In this paper, we present new methods for language classification which put to good use both syntax and fuzzy tools, and are capable of dealing with irrelevant linguistic features (i. e. features which should not contribute to the classification) and even inconsistent features (which do not make sense for specific languages).
From Image to Text in Sentiment Analysis via Regression and Deep Learning
In this paper, we investigate an approach for mapping images to text for three types of sentiment categories: positive, neutral and negative.
The Myth of Double-Blind Review Revisited: ACL vs. EMNLP
We study this question on the ACL and EMNLP paper collections and present an analysis on how well deep learning techniques can infer the authors of a paper.
Automatic Identification and Production of Related Words for Historical Linguistics
We apply our method to multiple data sets, showing that our approach improves on previous results, also having the advantage of requiring less input data, which is essential in historical linguistics, where resources are generally scarce.
Automatic Reconstruction of Missing Romanian Cognates and Unattested Latin Words
Producing related words is a key concern in historical linguistics.
Automatically Building a Multilingual Lexicon of False Friends With No Supervision
Cognate words, defined as words in different languages which derive from a common etymon, can be useful for language learners, who can leverage the orthographical similarity of cognates to more easily understand a text in a foreign language.
Detecting Early Onset of Depression from Social Media Text using Learned Confidence Scores
