We introduce Chinese Whispers, a randomized graph-clustering algorithm, which is time-linear in the number of edges. After a detailed definition of the algorithm and a discussion of its strengths and… Continue Reading
We present the UKP system which performed best in the Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) task at SemEval-2012 in two out of three metrics. It uses a simple log-linear regression model, trained on the… Continue Reading
Distributional representations of words have been recently used in supervised settings for recognizing lexical inference relations between word pairs, such as hypernymy and entailment. We investigate… Continue Reading
We present WebAnno, a general purpose web-based annotation tool for a wide range of linguistic annotations. WebAnno offers annotation project management, freely configurable tagsets and the… Continue Reading
A simple and flexible schema for storing and presenting monolingual language resources is proposed. In this format, data for 18 different languages is already available in various sizes. The data is… Continue Reading
This work presents a Text Segmentation algorithm called TopicTiling. This algorithm is based on the well-known TextTiling algorithm, and segments documents using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA)… Continue Reading
After the vision of the Semantic Web was broadcasted at the turn of the millennium, ontology became a synonym for the solution to many problems concerning the fact that computers do not understand… Continue Reading
An unsupervised part-of-speech (POS) tagging system that relies on graph clustering methods is described. Unlike in current state-of-the-art approaches, the kind and number of different tags is… Continue Reading
This article presents a general method to use information retrieved from the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model for Text Segmentation: Using topic assignments instead of words in two… Continue Reading
This paper gives an overview of the shared task at the ACL-HLT 2011 DiSCo (Distributional Semantics and Compositionality) workshop. We describe in detail the motivation for the shared task, the… Continue Reading
