With the aim of storing learner corpora as well as information about the Basque language students who wrote the texts, two different but complementary databases were created: ERREUS and IRAKAZI. Linguistic and technical information (error description, error category, tools for detection/correction...) will be stored in ERREUS, while IRAKAZI will be filled in with psycholinguistic information (e...

This paper describes the components used in the design and implementation of NLP tools for Basque. These components are based on finite state technology and are devoted to the morphological analysis of Basque, an agglutinative pre-Indo-European language. We think that our design can be interesting for the treatment of other languages. The main components developed are a general and robust morph...

In this paper we present the free/open-source language resources for machine translation created in OpenMT-2 wikiproject, a collaboration framework that was tested with editors of Basque Wikipedia. Post-editing of Computer Science articles has been used to improve the output of a Spanish to Basque MT system called Matxin. For the collaboration between editors and researchers, we selected a set ...

Inherited factor XI deficiency is an injury-related bleeding disorder that is rare in most populations except for Jews, in whom 2 mutations, a stop mutation in exon 5 (type II) and a missense mutation in exon 9 (type III), predominate. Recently, a cluster of 39 factor XI-deficient patients was described in the Basque population of Southwestern France. In this study, we determined the molecular ...

Although contemporary linguistic studies routinely use unacceptable sentences to determine the boundary of what falls outside the scope of grammar, investigations far more rarely take into consideration the possible interpretations of such sentences, perhaps because these interpretations are commonly prejudged as irrelevant or unreliable across speakers. In this paper we provide the results of ...

In this paper we present the coreferential tagging of part of the EPEC Corpus of Basque. Although coreference is a pragmatic linguistic phenomenon highly dependent on the situational context, it shows some language-specific patterns that vary according to the features of each language. Due to the fact that Basque is not an Indo-European language, it differs considerably in grammar from the lang...

In this paper we present a system for translating named entities from Basque to Spanish based on comparable corpora. For that purpose we have tried two approaches: one based on Basque linguistic features, and a language-independent tool. For both tools we have used BasqueSpanish comparable corpora, a bilingual dictionary and the web as resources.
