In this session students will evaluate data on precocious puberty and try to find its underlying causes. Read this to the class or discuss it in your own words with them. Be sure that you cover these points: what causes normal puberty; the technical terminology of puberty; is a statistically significant difference in average age at puberty of 3, or 6 months biologically significant? Emphasize t...

This demonstration presents a tool (TExtractor) employed for enriching terminology sets in four languages: English, French, German and Spanish. We present the associated linguistic resources and the experimental results obtained in the medical domain. TExtractor has been developed within project LIQUID (IST-2000-25324), which aims at developing a cost-effective solution for the problem of cross...

Various efforts have been made for the development of tools and methods dedicated to the automatic processing of multilingual terminology databases. For that purpose, multilingual parallel corpora have been used as a basis resource. However, most of the neologisms in technical and scientific domains are realised by multiword terms that are rarely identified in parallel corpora. In this paper, w...

Since its inception, the Internet has enabled motivated members of an application’s user base to compose and self-publish technical documentation, manuals and tutorials. These distributed acts of self-publishing can be thought of as the implicit crowdsourcing of technical support. In this paper, we leverage user-generated documentation to construct what we call a “command thesaurus”. A command ...

We describe an approach to terminology extraction from patent corpora that follows from a view of patents as “positive reviews” of inventions. As in aspect-based sentiment analysis, we focus on identifying not only the components of products but also the attributes and tasks which, in the case of patents, serve to justify an invention’s utility. These semantic roles (component, task, attribute)...

Lexical resources play a crucial role in language technology but lexical acquisition can often be a time-consuming, laborious and costly exercise. In this paper, we describe a method for the automatic acquisition of technical terminology from domain restricted texts without the need for sophisticated natural language processing tools, such as taggers or parsers, or text corpora annotated with l...
