We define broad-coverage semantic dependency parsing (SDP) as the task of recovering sentence-internal predicate–argument relationships for all content words, i.e. the semantic structure constituting the relational core of sentence meaning. 1 Background and Motivation Syntactic dependency parsing has seen great advances in the past decade, in part owing to relatively broad consensus on target r...

Dear Editor, We read with interest the Letter by Smith (2009) suggesting that individuals with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) have heightened emotional empathy (EE). We are pleased to be invited to contribute to the discussion. We do this by commenting on both the evidence cited by Smith, and also the evidence he does not cite. We conceptually reframe the question being posed and argue that, ...

This paper presents an approach to enhance the extraction of translation equivalents from comparable corpora by plugging in bilingual lexico-semantic knowledge harvested from a parallel corpus. First, the bilingual lexicon obtained from word-aligning the parallel corpus replaces an external seed dictionary, making the approach knowledge-light and portable. Next, instead of using simple 1:1 mapp...

Hafnium dioxide films have been produced by plasma ion assisted electron beam evaporation, utilizing argon or xenon as working gases. The optical constants of the layers have been investigated by spectrophotometry, while X-ray reflection measurements (XRR), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have been performed with selected samples. The corre...

Creating linguistic annotations requires more than just a reliable annotation scheme. Annotation can be a complex endeavour potentially involving many people, stages, and tools. This chapter outlines the process of creating end-toend linguistic annotations, identifying specific tasks that researchers often perform. Because tool support is so central to achieving high quality, reusable annotatio...
