In his article "A Female Adolescent Bystander's Diary and the Jewish Hungarian Holocaust" Gergely Kunt analyzes the unpublished diary manuscript of Margit Molnár, a Hungarian Roman Catholic adolescent girl born in 1927 who kept a diary between 1941 and 1949. Kunt's analysis shows how Molnár viewed Jews, the persecution of Jews, and the anti-Jewish terror in Budapest. As the diary documents, Mol...

We approach cross-lingual question answering by using a mono-lingual QA system for the source language and by translating resulting answers into the target language. As far as we are aware, this is the first cross-lingual QA system in the history of CLEF that uses this method—all other cross-lingual QA systems known to us use translation of the question or query instead. We demonstrate the feas...

— The topological structure of the adhérence of a regular language is characterized by afînite invariant structure that can be algorithmically constructed from any automaton recognizing the language. Homeomorphism of the adhérences of regular languages can be decided by constructing and comparing their associated invariant structures. These results are obtained by applying concepts and analyses...

We approach cross-lingual question answering by using a mono-lingual QA system for the source language and by translating resulting answers into the target language. As far as we are aware, this is the first cross-lingual QA system in the history of CLEF that uses this method—almost without exception, cross-lingual QA systems use translation of the question or query terms instead. We demonstrat...

Le Laboratoire de Connaissances Biologiques à créé et mise en oeuvre un "Assistant au Scientifique" (AS). Cet AS permet au scientifique d'accéder à une collection de documents de recherche scientifique. Une collection d'environ 1000 articles d'un sousdomaine de biologie est identifiée en SGML, tous les chiffres sont lus puis, une série d'analyses est appliquée. Ce procédé produit la base de con...

La classification, ou clustering (Jain et al., 1999), consiste à associer une classe à chaque élément d’un ensemble, les éléments similaires devant être regroupés dans une classe en n’utilisant que la similarité (ou distance) entre deux éléments ou groupes d’éléments. Le formalisme attributs-valeurs ne permettant pas de représenter les domaines complexes, l’apprentissage en logique du premier o...

In this paper we present a calculus for the execution of Multi-context system with its corresponding semantics. This calculus is general enough to support different kinds of MCSs and particularly, we show how a graded BDI agent can be mapped to the language proposed. The graded BDI agent model is based on multi-context systems and is able to deal with graded mental attitudes. Taking advantage o...

We highlight an important frontier in algorithmic fairness: disparity in the quality of natural language processing algorithms when applied to language from authors of di‚erent social groups. For example, current systems sometimes analyze the language of females and minorities more poorly than they do of whites and males. We conduct an empirical analysis of racial disparity in language identi€c...

Abstract. We introduce the anonymization of unstructured documents to settle the base of automatic declassification of confidential documents. Departing from known ideas and methods of data privacy, we introduce the main issues of unstructured document anonymization and propose the use of named entity recognition techniques from natural language processing and information extraction to identify...
