  • Compilation of Corpora for the study of the Information Structure-Prosody interface
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Burga Díaz, Alicia; Farrús, Mireia; Wanner, Leo (ELRA (European Language Resources Association), 2018)
    Theoretical studies on the Information Structure–prosody interface argue that the content packaged in terms of theme and rheme correlates with the intonation of the corresponding sentence. However, there are few empirical ...
  • Error analysis for the improvement of subject ellipsis detection
    Rello, Luz, 1984-; Ferraro, Gabriela; Burga Díaz, Alicia (Sociedad Española para el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural (SEPLN), 2011)
    This paper presents an analysis of the errors of a machine learning method that allow us to propose changes to improve it in future developments. The evaluated system detects Spanish subject ellipsis and yields an accuracy ...
  • FORGe at SemEval-2017 Task 9: deep sentence generation based on a sequence of graph transducers
    Mille, Simon; Carlini, Roberto; Burga Díaz, Alicia; Wanner, Leo (ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics), 2017)
    We present the contribution of Universitat Pompeu Fabra’s NLP group to the Sem-Eval Task 9.2 (AMR-to-English Generation). The proposed generation pipeline comprises: (i) a series of rule-based graphtransducers for the ...
  • On the role of communicative structure in read aloud applications for elderly
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Burga Díaz, Alicia; Farrús, Mireia; Wanner, Leo (CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2018)
    Conversational technologies that assist elderly people need to adapt to common disabilities in old age. Visual, hearing and even more so cognitive impairments pose serious difficulties for our seniors to handle a standard ...
  • Revising the METU-Sabancı Turkish treebank: an exercise in surface-syntactic annotation of agglutinative languages
    Burga Díaz, Alicia; Öktem, Alp; Wanner, Leo (ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics), 2017)
    In this paper, we present a revision of the training set of the METU-Sabancı Turkish syntactic dependency treebank composed of 4997 sentences in accordance with the principles of the Meaning-Text Theory (MTT). MTT reflects ...
  • The Information structure-prosody interface revisited
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Farrús, Mireia; Burga Díaz, Alicia; Wanner, Leo (ISCA, 2014)
    Several grammar theories relate information structure and prosody, highlighting a major correspondence between theme and rheme, and intonation patterns. Although these theories have been successfully exploited in some ...
  • Thematicity-based prosody enrichment for text-to-speech applications
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Burga Díaz, Alicia; Farrús, Mireia; Wanner, Leo (International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), 2018)
    Theoretical studies on the information structure–prosody interface argue that the content packaged in terms of theme and rheme correlates with the intonation of the corresponding sentence as regards to rising and falling ...
  • Towards automatic extraction of prosodic patterns for speech synthesis
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Farrús, Mireia; Burga Díaz, Alicia; Wanner, Leo (ISCA, 2014)
    This paper deals with the adaptation of AuToBI annotation for speech synthesis purposes. AuToBI is a tool that automatically determines and classifies the standard ToBI labels for American English. AuToBI annotation is ...
  • Towards expressive prosody generation in TTS for reading aloud applications
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Burga Díaz, Alicia; Farrús, Mireia; Wanner, Leo (International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), 2018)
    Conversational technologies that assist elderly people need to adapt to common disabilities in old age. Visual, hearing and even more so cognitive impairments pose serious difficulties for our seniors to handle a standard ...
  • Towards multiple antecedent coreference resolution in specialized discourse
    Burga Díaz, Alicia; Cajal, Sergio; Codina Filbà, Joan; Wanner, Leo (LREC, 2016)
    Despite the popularity of coreference resolution as a research topic, the overwhelming majority of the work in this area focused so far on single antecedence coreference only. Multiple antecedent coreference (MAC) has been ...
  • Using genre-specific features for patent summaries
    Codina Filbà, Joan; Bouayad-Agha, Nadjet; Burga Díaz, Alicia; Casamayor, Gerard; Mille, Simon; Müller, Andreas; Saggion, Horacio; Wanner, Leo (Elsevier, 2016)
    Patent search is recall-driven, which goes hand in hand with at least a partial sacrifice of precision. As a consequence, patent analysts have to regularly view and examine a large amount of patents. This implies a very ...
  • Using hierarchical information structure for prosody prediction in content-to-speech applications
    Domínguez Bajo, Mónica; Farrús, Mireia; Burga Díaz, Alicia; Wanner, Leo (International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), 2016)
    State-of-the-art prosody modelling in content-to-speech (CTS) applications still uses the same methodology to predict intonation cues as text-to-speech (TTS) applications, namely the analysis of the generated surface ...
