Information extraction (IE) systems aim to automatically extract structured information, such as named entities, relations between entities, and events, from unstructured texts. While most existing work addresses a particular IE task,…
Indexing learning documents using the Learning Object Metadata (LOM) is often carried out manually by archivists. Filling out the LOM fields is a long and difficult task, requiring a complete reading and a full knowledge on the topic dealt…
Nowadays, Large Language Models (LLMs) have been gradually employed to solve complex tasks. To face the challenge, task decomposition has become an effective way, which proposes to divide a complex task into multiple simpler subtasks and…
This volume contains a selection of papers presented at LFMTP 2020, the 15th International Workshop on Logical Frameworks and Meta-Languages: Theory and Practice (LFMTP), held the 29-30th of June, 2019, using the Zoom video conferencing…
We use large language models to aid learners enhance proficiency in a foreign language. This is accomplished by identifying content on topics that the user is interested in, and that closely align with the learner's proficiency level in…
We describe the University of Alberta systems for the SemEval-2022 Task 2 on multilingual idiomaticity detection. Working under the assumption that idiomatic expressions are noncompositional, our first method integrates information on the…
This paper describes the system deployed by the CLaC-EDLK team to the "SemEval 2016, Complex Word Identification task". The goal of the task is to identify if a given word in a given context is "simple" or "complex". Our system relies on…
Large language models (LLMs) have grown in their usage to provide support for question answering across numerous disciplines. The models on their own have already shown promise for answering basic questions, however fail quickly where…
We introduce an advanced information extraction pipeline to automatically process very large collections of unstructured textual data for the purpose of investigative journalism. The pipeline serves as a new input processor for the upcoming…
Disentanglement is a highly desirable property of representation owing to its similarity to human understanding and reasoning. Many works achieve disentanglement upon information bottlenecks (IB). Despite their elegant mathematical…
The task of ultra-fine entity typing (UFET) seeks to predict diverse and free-form words or phrases that describe the appropriate types of entities mentioned in sentences. A key challenge for this task lies in the large amount of types and…
Information extraction (IE) from documents is an intensive area of research with a large set of industrial applications. Current state-of-the-art methods focus on scanned documents with approaches combining computer vision, natural language…
This paper replicates and extends the system used in the AuTexTification 2023 shared task for authorship attribution of machine-generated texts. First, we tried to reproduce the original results. Exact replication was not possible because…
The project BIAS: Mitigating Diversity Biases of AI in the Labor Market is a four-year project funded by the European commission and supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). As part of the…
Health departments have been deploying text classification systems for the early detection of foodborne illness complaints in social media documents such as Yelp restaurant reviews. Current systems have been successfully applied for…
In this paper we analyze features to classify human- and AI-generated text for English, French, German and Spanish and compare them across languages. We investigate two scenarios: (1) The detection of text generated by AI from scratch, and…
Measuring a document's complexity level is an open challenge, particularly when one is working on a diverse corpus of documents rather than comparing several documents on a similar topic or working on a language other than English. In this…
Document level Machine Translation (DocMT) approaches often struggle with effectively capturing discourse level phenomena. Existing approaches rely on heuristic rules to segment documents into discourse units, which rarely align with the…
We introduce a method for efficient multi-label text classification with large language models (LLMs), built on reformulating classification tasks as sequences of dichotomic (yes/no) decisions. Instead of generating all labels in a single…
This paper presents our system for SemEval 2025 Task 11: Bridging the Gap in Text-Based Emotion Detection (Track A), which focuses on multi-label emotion detection in short texts. We propose a feature-centric framework that dynamically…
