In this paper we describe the Senseval 2 Basque lexical-sample task. The task comprised 40 words (15 nouns, 15 verbs and 10 adjectives) selected from Euskal Hiztegia, the main Basque dictionary. Most examples were taken from the Egunkaria newspaper. The method used to hand-tag the examples produced low inter-tagger agreement (75%) before arbitration. The four competing systems attained results ...

This article describes the participation of the joint Elhuyar-IXA group in the ResPubliQA exercise at QA&CLEF. In particular, we participated in the English–English monolingual task and in the Basque–English crosslingual one. Our focus has been threefold: (1) to check to what extent information retrieval (IR) can achieve good results in passage retrieval without question analysis and answer val...

In this paper we present a machine learning approach to resolve the pronominal anaphora in Basque language. We consider different classifiers in order to find the system that fits best to the characteristics of the language under examination. We apply the combination of classifiers which improves results obtained with single classifiers. The main contribution of the paper is the use of bagging ...

Basque is a morphologically rich language, of which several finite-state morphological descriptions have been constructed, primarily using the Xerox/PARC finite-state tools. In this paper we describe the process of porting a previous description of Basque morphology to foma, an open-source finite-state toolkit compatible with Xerox tools, provide a comparison of the two tools, and contrast the ...

We present some Language Technology applications and resources that have proven to be valuable tools to promote the use of Basque, a low density language. We also present the strategy we have followed for almost twenty years to develop those tools and derived applications as the top of an integrated environment of language resources, language tools and other applications. In our opinion, if Bas...
