Morphology Matters: A Multilingual Language Modeling Analysis

Judgment Language Matters: Multilingual Vector Space Models for Judgment Language Aware Lexical Semantics

A common evaluation practice in the vector space modeling (VSM) literature is to measure models’ ability to predict human judgments about lexical semantic relations between word pairs. Most existing evaluation sets, however, consist of scores collected for English word pairs only, ignoring the potential impact of the judgment language in which word pairs are presented on the human scores. In th...

Learning Multilingual Morphology with CLOG

The paper presents the decision list learning system Clog and the results of using it to learn nominal innections of English, Ro-manian, Czech, Slovene, and Estonian. The dataset used to induce rules for the synthesis and analysis of the innectional paradigms of nouns and adjectives of these languages is the Multext-East multilingual tagged corpus. The ILP system Foidl is also applied to the sa...

Immune synapses: mitochondrial morphology matters.

Proper positioning of mitochondria is critical for cellular function. Mitochondria localization close to synapses regulates signalling at neuronal and immune synapses (ISs). Vice versa, synapses influence activity, motility and the fusion/fission balance of close-by mitochondria. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Baixauli et al (2011) identify a role for the mitochondrial fission factor dynami...

Multilingual Natural Language Processing

With rapidly growing online resources, such as Wikipedia, Twitter, or Facebook, there is an increasing number of languages that have a Web presence, and correspondingly there is a growing need for effective solutions for multilingual natural language processing. In this talk, I will explore the hypothesis that a multilingual representation can enrich the feature space for natural language proce...
