Exploiting Third Language Production Corpora for Pedagogical Purposes

Exploiting multilinguality for ontology matching purposes

The alignment between linguistic artifacts like vocabularies, thesauri, etc., is a task that has attracted considerable attention in recent years [1][2]. With very few exceptions, however, research in this field has primarily focused on the development of monolingual matching algorithms. As more and more artifacts, especially in the Linked Open Data realm, become available in a multilingual fas...

Exploiting Variant Corpora for Machine Translation

This paper proposes the usage of variant corpora, i.e., parallel text corpora that are equal in meaning but use different ways to express content, in order to improve corpus-based machine translation. The usage of multiple training corpora of the same content with different sources results in variant models that focus on specific linguistic phenomena covered by the respective corpus. The propos...

Exploiting Unannotated Corpora for Tagging and Chunking

Exploiting the Leipzig Corpora Collection

In this paper the Leipzig Corpora Collection is introduced as a contribution to the idea that there is need for standardization of multilingual language resources. We explain the steps of building, processing and presenting corpora of comparable sizes and in a uniform format. Results from intraand interlingual comparisons of corpora are given and methods that can build upon these corpora

Similarity-Based Alignment of Monolingual Corpora for Text Simplification Purposes

Comparable or parallel corpora are beneficial for many NLP tasks. The automatic collection of corpora enables large-scale resources, even for less-resourced languages, which in turn can be useful for deducing rules and patterns for text rewriting algorithms, a subtask of automatic text simplification. We present two methods for the alignment of Swedish easy-to-read text segments to text segment...
