Given the increase in production of data for the biomedical field and the unstoppable growth of the internet, the need for Information Extraction (IE) techniques has skyrocketed. Named Entity Recognition (NER)...

Despite the increasingly good quality of automatic translations, machine-translated texts require corrections. Automatic post-editing models have been introduced to perform these corrections without human inte...

Encapsulators are linguistic units which establish coherent referential connections to the preceding discourse in a text. In this paper, we address the challenge of automatically analysing the pronominal encap...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Due to the limited availability of parallel data in many languages, we propose a methodology that benefits from comparable corpora to find translation equivalents for collocations (as a specific type of diffic...

Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder which has a life-long impact on the lives of people diagnosed with the condition. In many cases, people with ASD are unable to derive the gist ...
Article
Most current translation memory (TM) systems work on the string level (character or word level) and lack semantic knowledge while matching. They use simple edit-distance (ED) calculated on the surface form or ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Translation memory tools lack semantic knowledge like paraphrasing when they perform matching and retrieval. As a result, paraphrased segments are often not retrieved. One of the primary reasons for this is th...

Text Simplification (TS) has taken off as an important Natural Language Processing (NLP) application which promises to offer a significant societal impact in that it can be employed to the benefit of users wit...
Article
In this paper, we present an unsupervised dependency-based approach to extract semantic relations to be applied in the context of automatic generation of multiple choice questions (MCQs). MCQs also known as mu...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We propose a novel approach to recognise textual entailment (RTE) following a two-stage architecture – alignment and decision – where both stages are based on semantic representations. In the alignment stage t...

Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper we investigate ways in which information from the post-editing of machine translations can be used to rank translation systems for quality. In addition to the commonly used edit distance between ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper describes a study of the impact of coreference resolution on NLP applications. Further to our previous study [1], in which we investigated whether anaphora resolution could be beneficial to NLP appl...

Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper, we investigate an unsupervised approach to Relation Extraction to be applied in the context of automatic generation of multiple-choice questions (MCQs). MCQs are a popular large-scale assessment...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper presents a machine learning approach to the study of translationese. The goal is to train a computer system to distinguish between translated and non-translated text, in order to determine the chara...

Article
The identification of cognates has attracted the attention of researchers working in the area of Natural Language Processing, but the identification of false friends is still an under-researched area. This pap...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Papers discussing anaphora resolution algorithms or systems usually focus on the intrinsic evaluation of the algorithm/system and not on the issue of extrinsic evaluation. In the context of anaphora resolution, e...
