We expand the second language (L2) Korean Universal Dependencies (UD) treebank with 5,454 manually annotated sentences. The annotation guidelines are also revised to better align with the UD framework. Using this enhanced treebank, we…

For languages with no annotated resources, unsupervised transfer of natural language processing models such as named-entity recognition (NER) from resource-rich languages would be an appealing capability. However, differences in words and…

Much work in Natural Language Processing (NLP) has been for resource-rich languages, making generalization to new, less-resourced languages challenging. We present two approaches for improving generalization to low-resourced languages by…

Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Entity Linking (EL) play an essential role in voice assistant interaction, but are challenging due to the special difficulties associated with spoken user queries. In this paper, we propose a novel…

Named entity recognition (NER) is highly sensitive to sentential syntactic and semantic properties where entities may be extracted according to how they are used and placed in the running text. To model such properties, one could rely on…

Although named entity recognition (NER) helps us to extract domain-specific entities from text (e.g., artists in the music domain), it is costly to create a large amount of training data or a structured knowledge base to perform accurate…

Retrieval-based language models are increasingly employed in question-answering tasks. These models search in a corpus of documents for relevant information instead of having all factual knowledge stored in its parameters, thereby enhancing…

In the domain of Natural Language Processing (NLP), Named Entity Recognition (NER) stands out as a pivotal mechanism for extracting structured insights from unstructured text. This manuscript offers an exhaustive exploration into the…

The focus of this paper is to address the knowledge acquisition bottleneck for Named Entity Recognition (NER) of mutations, by analysing different approaches to build manually-annotated data. We address first the impact of using a single…

The development of lexicalized grammars, particularly Tree-Adjoining Grammar (TAG), has significantly advanced our understanding of syntax and semantics in natural language processing (NLP). While existing syntactic resources like the Penn…

Named entity recognition (NER) is an extensively studied task that extracts and classifies named entities in a text. NER is crucial not only in downstream language processing applications such as relation extraction and question answering…

In this paper, we present coreference resolution experiments with a newly created multilingual corpus CorefUD. We focus on the following languages: Czech, Russian, Polish, German, Spanish, and Catalan. In addition to monolingual…

This paper introduces a new suite of question answering datasets for Norwegian; NorOpenBookQA, NorCommonSenseQA, NorTruthfulQA, and NRK-Quiz-QA. The data covers a wide range of skills and knowledge domains, including world knowledge,…

In this paper, we introduce a novel methodology to efficiently construct a corpus for question answering over structured data. For this, we introduce an intermediate representation that is based on the logical query plan in a database…

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is one of the essential applications of Natural Language Processing (NLP). It is also an instrument that plays a significant role in many other NLP applications, such as Machine Translation (MT), Information…

We present OpenNER 1.0, a standardized collection of openly-available named entity recognition (NER) datasets. OpenNER contains 36 NER corpora that span 52 languages, human-annotated in varying named entity ontologies. We correct annotation…

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a challenging and widely studied task that involves detecting and typing entities in text. So far,NER still approaches entity typing as a task of classification into universal classes (e.g. date, person, or…

We propose NEMO, a system for extracting organization names in the affiliation and normalizing them to a canonical organization name. Our parsing process involves multi-layered rule matching with multiple dictionaries. The system achieves…

Understanding the intention of the users and recognizing the semantic entities from their sentences, aka natural language understanding (NLU), is the upstream task of many natural language processing tasks. One of the main challenges is to…

Named entity recognition (NER) is the task to detect and classify the entity spans in the text. When entity spans overlap between each other, this problem is named as nested NER. Span-based methods have been widely used to tackle the nested…
