Information technology should have much to offer linguistics, not only through the opportunities offered by large-scale data analysis and the stimulus to develop formal computational models, but through the chance to use language in systems…
Developing an automatic part-of-speech (POS) tagging for any new language is considered a necessary step for further computational linguistics methodology beyond tagging, like chunking and parsing, to be fully applied to the language. Many…
The purpose of this note is to honour memory of Ubiratan D'Ambrosio, a Brazilian mathematics educator, who passed away on May 12, 2021.
Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging is an old and fundamental task in natural language processing. While supervised POS taggers have shown promising accuracy, it is not always feasible to use supervised methods due to lack of labeled data. In this…
This article is a reflection on the mathematical legacy of Professor Petr Simon.
Incomputability as a mathematical notion arose from work of Alan Turing and Alonzo Church in the 1930s. Like Turing himself, it attracted less attention than it deserved beyond the confines of mathematics. Today our experiences in computer…
Natural language processing (NLP) systems have become a central technology in communication, education, medicine, artificial intelligence, and many other domains of research and development. While the performance of NLP methods has grown…
This article reflects on the life and mathematical contributions of Pierre Cartier, a distinguished figure in 20th- and 21st-century mathematics. As a key member of the Bourbaki collective, Cartier played a pivotal role in the formalization…
This study employs Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze the intricate linguistic and emotional dimensions within the plays of Bernard-Marie Kolt\`es, a central figure in contemporary French theatre. By integrating advanced…
This paper is devoted to Poincar\'e's work in probability. Though the subject does not represent a large part of the mathematician's achievements, it provides significant insight into the evolution of Poincar\'e's thought on several…
With a focus on natural language processing (NLP) and the role of large language models (LLMs), we explore the intersection of machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence. As artificial intelligence continues to…
Speaker clustering is the task of differentiating speakers in a recording. In a way, the aim is to answer "who spoke when" in audio recordings. A common method used in industry is feature extraction directly from the recording thanks to…
Can a machine understand the meanings of natural language? Recent developments in the generative large language models (LLMs) of artificial intelligence have led to the belief that traditional philosophical assumptions about machine…
In recent years, with the rapid development of deep learning technology, large language models (LLMs) such as BERT and GPT have achieved breakthrough results in natural language processing tasks. Machine translation (MT), as one of the core…
In this article, we are interested in the life and scientific work of the Belgian mathematician Paul Mansion. The year 2019 marks the centenary of his passing. We bring some new insights into Paul Mansion's work thanks to his scientific…
Content analysis of scientific publications is a nontrivial task, but a useful and important one for scientific information services. In the Gutenberg era it was a domain of human experts; in the digital age many machine-based methods,…
Kenneth G. Wilson made deep and insightful contributions to statistical physics, particle physics, and related fields. He was also a helpful and thoughtful human being.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) helps empower intelligent machines by enhancing a better understanding of the human language for linguistic-based human-computer communication. Recent developments in computational power and the advent of…
This special issue is dedicated to get a better picture of the relationships between computational linguistics and cognitive science. It specifically raises two questions: "what is the potential contribution of computational language…
