In textual knowledge management, statistical methods prevail. Nonetheless, some difficulties cannot be overcome by these methodologies. I propose a symbolic approach using a complete textual analysis to identify which analysis level can…
Word sense disambiguation improves many Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications such as Information Retrieval, Information Extraction, Machine Translation, or Lexical Simplification. Roughly speaking, the aim is to choose for each…
The focus of this thesis is broadly on the alignment of lexicographical data, particularly dictionaries. In order to tackle some of the challenges in this field, two main tasks of word sense alignment and translation inference are…
In this paper we present a clean, yet effective, model for word sense disambiguation. Our approach leverage a bidirectional long short-term memory network which is shared between all words. This enables the model to share statistical…
Automatic annotation of documents with controlled vocabulary terms (descriptors) from a conceptual thesaurus is not only useful for document indexing and retrieval. The mapping of texts onto the same thesaurus furthermore allows to…
Automatic ICD coding is defined as assigning disease codes to electronic medical records (EMRs). Existing methods usually apply label attention with code representations to match related text snippets. Unlike these works that model the…
Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) aims to automatically identify the exact meaning of one word according to its context. Existing supervised models struggle to make correct predictions on rare word senses due to limited training data and can…
Assessing language proficiency is essential for education, as it enables instruction tailored to learners needs. This paper investigates the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for automatically classifying German texts according to the…
Separation Logic with inductive definitions is a well-known approach for deductive verification of programs that manipulate dynamic data structures. Deciding verification conditions in this context is usually based on user-provided lemmas…
Measurement of the semantic relatedness or likeness between terms, words, or text data plays an important role in different applications dealing with textual data such as knowledge acquisition, recommender system, and natural language…
We use contextualized word definitions generated by large language models as semantic representations in the task of diachronic lexical semantic change detection (LSCD). In short, generated definitions are used as `senses', and the change…
We leverage generative large language models for language learning applications, focusing on estimating the difficulty of foreign language texts and simplifying them to lower difficulty levels. We frame both tasks as prediction problems and…
This paper proposes an efficient example selection method for example-based word sense disambiguation systems. To construct a practical size database, a considerable overhead for manual sense disambiguation is required. Our method is…
There have been some works that learn a lexicon together with the corpus to improve the word embeddings. However, they either model the lexicon separately but update the neural networks for both the corpus and the lexicon by the same…
One of the main challenges that the Semantic Web faces is the integration of a growing number of independently designed ontologies. In this work, we present PARIS, an approach for the automatic alignment of ontologies. PARIS aligns not only…
This paper presents a lexical disambiguation system, initially developed for English and now adapted to French. This system associates a word with its meaning in a given context using electronic dictionaries as semantically annotated…
Metaphors are part of everyday language and shape the way in which we conceptualize the world. Moreover, they play a multifaceted role in communication, making their understanding and generation a challenging task for language models (LMs).…
We study the task of automatically expanding WordNet-style lexical resources to new languages through sense generation. We generate senses by associating target-language lemmas with existing lexical concepts via semantic projection. Given a…
We propose in this paper a method for measuring the similarity between ontological concepts and terms. Our metric can take into account not only the common words of two strings to compare but also other features such as the position of the…
Large language models (LLMs), endowed with exceptional reasoning capabilities, are adept at discerning profound user interests from historical behaviors, thereby presenting a promising avenue for the advancement of recommendation systems.…
