Controlling Gender Equality with Shallow NLP Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the “Gendercheck Editor”, a tool to check German texts for gender discriminatory formulations. It relays on shallow rule-based techniques as used in the Controlled Language Authoring Technology (CLAT). The paper outlines major sources of gender imbalances in German texts. It gives a background on the underlying CLAT technology and describes the marking and annotation strategy to automatically detect and visualize the questionable pieces of text. The paper provides a detailed evaluation of the editor.

A New Method for Improving Computational Cost of Open Information Extraction Systems Using Log-Linear Model
Information extraction (IE) is a process of automatically providing a structured representation from an unstructured or semi-structured text. It is a long-standing challenge in natural language processing (NLP) which has been intensified by the increased volume of information and heterogeneity, and non-structured form of it. One of the core information extraction tasks is relation extraction wh...
متن کاملIntegrating Shallow and Linguistic Techniques for Information Extraction from Text
Many experiments have shown that traditional approaches to bothNatural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR) are not eeective enough to extract information from text; as a matter of fact shallow techniques (such as statistics, keyword analysis, etc.) tend to be imprecise, although eecient and transportable, whereas linguistic approaches tend to be very precise but not robust ...
متن کاملGender Differences in Public and Private Drinking Contexts: A Multi-Level GENACIS Analysis
This multi-national study hypothesized that higher levels of country-level gender equality would predict smaller differences in the frequency of women's compared to men's drinking in public (like bars and restaurants) settings and possibly private (home or party) settings. GENACIS project survey data with drinking contexts included 22 countries in Europe (8); the Americas (7); Asia (3); Austral...
متن کاملDiscovering Features Towards Recognising Textual Entailment
Recognising Textual Entailment (RTE) has the objective of judging whether one piece of short text, normally a single sentence, follows from another piece of longer text. Such a task has been the focus of three consecutive challenges since 2005. Current approaches have explored the more sophisticated deep Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. However, the capability of shallow features a...
متن کاملGender equality predicts leisure-time physical activity: Benefits for both sexes across 34 countries
Although countries’ gender equality is associated with important health outcomes, especially for females, it remains unclear whether gender equality is associated with leisure-time physical activity (LTPA). Data from 34 countries was acquired from the International Social Survey Program, the Pew Research Forum, the United Nations, and the World Bank. Separate analyses were conducted for 21,502 ...
