HLT / EMNLP 2005 Interactive Demonstrations Proceedings

This paper describes a novel summarization system, Classummary, for interactive online classroom discussions. This system is originally designed for Open Source Software (OSS) development forums. However, this new application provides valuable feedback on designing summarization systems and applying them to everyday use, in addition to the traditional natural language processing evaluation meth...

A Self-Learning Context-Aware Lemmatizer for German

Accurate lemmatization of German nouns mandates the use of a lexicon. Comprehensive lexicons, however, are expensive to build and maintain. We present a selflearning lemmatizer capable of automatically creating a full-form lexicon by processing German documents.
