Detecting change and emergence for multiword expressions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work looks at a temporal aspect of multiword expressions (MWEs), namely that the behaviour of a given n-gram and its status as a MWE change over time. We propose a model in which context words have particular probabilities given a usage choice for an n-gram, and those usage choices have time dependent probabilities, and we put forward an expectationmaximisation technique for estimating the parameters from data with no annotation of usage choice. For a range of MWE usages of recent coinage, we evaluate whether the technique is able to detect the emerging usage.

Domain-Dependent Identification of Multiword Expressions
The identification of different kinds of multiword expressions require different solutions, on the other hand, there might be domain-related differences in their frequency and typology. In this paper, we show how our methods developed for identifying noun compounds and light verb constructions can be adapted to different domains and different types of texts. Our results indicate that with littl...

Translating multiword expressions from a language to another needs to recognize them as such. Bilingual multiword expressions are an issue when they are not the exact word-toword translation of each other. The following examples are provided for a French-English translation task: (1) Phrasal verbs such as « to call in on » becoming « rendre visite », (2) « sorry to hear that », that a human tra...

We introduce a list of Arabic multiword expressions (MWE) collected from various dictionaries. The MWEs are grouped based on their syntactic type. Every constituent word in the expressions is manually annotated with its full context-sensitive morphological analysis. Some of the expressions contain semantic variables as place holders for words that play the same semantic role. In addition, we ha...

Multiword Expressions are idiosyncratic word usages of a language which often have noncompositional meaning. The knowledge of multiword expressions is necessary for many NLP tasks like, machine translation, natural language generation, named entity recognition, sentiment analysis etc. In order for other NLP applications to benefit from the knowledge of multiword expressions, they need to be ide...
