Automatic Annotation of Spoken Language Using Out-of-Domain Resources and Domain Adaptation

Cross-Domain and Cross-Language Porting of Shallow Parsing

English was the main focus of attention of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) community for years. As a result, there are significantly more annotated linguistic resources in English than in any other language. Consequently, data-driven tools for automatic text or speech processing are developed mainly for English. Developing similar corpora and tools for other languages is an important issu...

Semantic-Based Image Retrial in the VQ Compressed Domain using Image Annotation Statistical Models

Cross-language transfer of semantic annotation via targeted crowdsourcing: task design and evaluation

The development of a natural language speech application requires the process of semantic annotation. Moreover multilingual porting of speech applications increases the cost and complexity of the annotation task. In this paper we address the problem of transferring the semantic annotation of the source language corpus to a low-resource target language via crowdsourcing. The current crowdsourcin...

Annotation Adaptation and Language Adaptation in NLP

Adaptation technologies are always useful in NLP when there is discrepancy between the training scenario and use scenario. They are also effective in alleviating the data scarcity problem. Domain adaptation is the most popular kind of adaptation technologies and is intensively researched. In this talk we will introduce two other kinds of adaptation technologies: annotation adaptation and langua...

Providing a structural model for psychological problems based on disconnection and rejection domain and negative automatic thoughts with mediating role of experimental avoidance

Introduction: Psychological problems are the result of a person's interaction with the environment and include behaviors that cause social conflicts, dissatisfaction and individual unhappiness. The present study aimed to provide a structural model for psychological problems based on disconnection and rejection domain and negative automatic thoughts with mediating role of experimental avoidance....
