The goal of this work is to introduce CHILDES-MWE, which contains English CHILDES corpora automatically annotated with Multiword Expressions (MWEs) information. The result is a resource with almost 350,000 sentences annotated with more than 70,000 distinct MWEs of various types from both longitudinal and latitudinal corpora. This resource can be used for large scale language acquisition studies...

This short paper aims at presenting a method for automatically extracting and evaluating MWE in the Europarl corpus. For this purpose we make use of mwetoolkit and utilize its output to find rules for the automatic evaluation of MWE. We then developed an XML parser to evaluate MWE candidates against those rules and also against online dictionaries. A sample of the results was manually evaluated...

We propose a method to search for illustrative sentences for English multiword expressions (MWEs) from a research paper database. We focus on syntactically flexible expressions such as “regard – as.” Traditionally, illustrative sentences that contain such expressions have been searched for by limiting the maximum number of words between the component words of the MWE. However, this method could...

Most of the research on the extraction of idiomatic multiword expressions (MWEs) focused on the acquisition of MWE types. In the present work we investigate whether a text instance of a potentially idiomatic MWE is actually used idiomatically in a given context or not. Inspired by the dataset provided by (Cook et al., 2008), we manually analysed 9,700 instances of potentially idiomatic preposit...

Effective management of a machine’s memory resources needs comprehensive information regarding the realtime memory consumption of applications. Memory demands can be estimated accurately by tracking the working set sizes of programs. We propose a software approach for monitoring the working set size of applications, based on Denning’s mathematical model of working sets. This technique is implem...

Concerns regarding the scalability of the inter-domain routing have encouraged researchers to start elaborating a more robust Internet architecture. While consensus on the exact form of the solution is yet to be found, the need for a semantic decoupling of a node’s location and identity is generally accepted as the only way forward. One of the most successful proposals to follow this guideline ...

Metalworking fluids provide an excellent environment for the growth and proliferation of a variety of bacteria and fungi. Historically, the incidence of infectious disease outbreaks at metalworking facilities has been rare. Consequently the primary focus of microbial contamination control efforts has been to prevent fluid biodeterioration. Research conducted over the past decade increasingly su...

This article presents a study of lemmatisation of flexible multiword expressions in Lithuanian. An approach based on syntactic analysis designed for multiword term lemmatisation was adapted for a broader range of MWEs taken from the Dictionary of Lithuanian Nominal Phrases. In the present analysis, the main lemmatisation errors are identified and some improvements are proposed. It shows that au...
