State-of-the-art automatic Machine Translation [MT] evaluation is based on the idea that the closer MT output is to Human Translation [HT], the higher its quality. Thus, automatic evaluation is typically approached by ...

In the Romance language Catalan, some verbs and some argument-structure configurations normally require the reflexive clitic; however, in certain constructions, the expected reflexive clitic is optionally missing; and, ...

The objective of PANACEA is to build a factory of LRs that automates the stages involved in the acquisition, production, updating and maintenance of LRs required by MT systems and by other applications based on language ...

Language models keep track of complex information about the preceding context – including, e.g., syntactic relations in a sentence. We investigate whether they also capture information beneficial for resolving pronominal ...

In neural network models of language, words are commonly represented using context invariant representations (word embeddings) which are then put in context in the hidden layers. Since words are often ambiguous, representing ...

The human lexicon expresses a wide array of concepts with a limited set of words. Previous work has suggested that semantic categories are structured compactly to enable informative communication. Informativeness is typically ...

This paper presents a system for suggesting a ranked list of appropriate vacancy descriptions to job seekers in a job board web site. In particular our work has explored the use of supervised classifiers with the objective ...
