This work describes the process of automatically converting the Basque Dependency Treebank to Universal Dependencies (UD). Our objective is to develop a set of conversion rules that will automatically transform the original treebank to UD. Basque is a morphologically rich and agglutinative language, which presents different challenges for the conversion from the initial annotation scheme to UD....

Abstract Speech–driven virtual assistants, known as smart speakers, such Amazon Echo and Google Home, are increasingly used. However, commercial speakers only support a handful of languages. Even languages for which ASR TTS technology is available, many official EU member state languages, not supported due to disinterest derived from their – relatively speaking rather small number speakers. Thi...

In this paper we present our work on Coreference Resolution in Basque, a unique language which poses interesting challenges for the problem of coreference. We explain how we extend the coreference resolution toolkit, BART, in order to enable it to process Basque. Then we run four different experiments showing both a significant improvement by extending a baseline feature set and the effect of c...

The development of an automatic index system of broadcast news requires appropriate Video and Language Resources (LR) to design all the components of the system. Nowadays, large and well-defined resources can be found in most widely used languages (Informedia), but there is a lot of work to do with respect to minority languages. The main goal of this work is the design of resources in Basque an...

This paper presents the first attempt to semi-automatically translate SNOMED CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms) terminology content to Basque, a less resourced language. Thus, it would be possible to build a new clinical healthcare terminology for Basque. We have designed the translation algorithm and the first two phases of the algorithm that feed the SNOMED CT’s Termi...
