In this paper, we describe our approach to the French English Bilingual Task in CLEF 2001. A simple dictionary-based method is used to translate the French query into a bag of weighted English words, the English query, which is submitted to the SMART retrieval engine. Despite the simplicity of the method, the results happen to be reasonable.

We propose the hypothesis that word etymology is useful for NLP applications as a bridge between languages. We support this hypothesis with experiments in crosslanguage (English-Italian) document categorization. In a straightforward bag-ofwords experimental set-up we add etymological ancestors of the words in the documents, and investigate the performance of a model built on English data, on It...

A bag-of-words based probabilistic classifier is trained using regularized logistic regression to detect vandalism in the English Wikipedia. Isotonic regression is used to calibrate the class membership probabilities. Learning curve, reliability, ROC, and cost analysis are performed.

In this paper, we present a dependency treebased method for sentiment classification of Japanese and English subjective sentences using conditional random fields with hidden variables. Subjective sentences often contain words which reverse the sentiment polarities of other words. Therefore, interactions between words need to be considered in sentiment classification, which is difficult to be ha...

This paper presents results on a preliminary study using syntactic information to predict language dominance in Spanish-English bilingual children. Our approach uses a bag of syntactic grammar rules taken from narratives in English and Spanish. We then measure prediction accuracy of categorizing children into Spanish-dominant, English-dominant, and Balanced Bilingual. The results are competitiv...

Commonly, traditional techniques work well in thematic classification. However, it is desired to know the performance of these techniques in an intuitively non-thematic task. The collection used is a set of English notes of hotel reviews, including truth...
