[Corpora-List]Complex Word Identification in French
by Christopher Collins 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

Hello, I'm looking for any open source or cloud-hosted solution for complex word identification or word difficulty rating in French for a reading application. As a backup plan we can use measures like corpus frequency, length, number of senses, but we're hoping someone has already made a tool available. We found this but that's it: https://github.com/sheffieldnlp/cwi Would appreciate any tips! Thanks, Chris Christopher Collins [he/him<https://medium.com/gender-inclusivit/why-i-put-pronouns-on-my-email-signatu…>] Associate Professor - Faculty of Science Canada Research Chair in Linguistic Information Visualization Ontario Tech University vialab.ca<http://vialab.ca/>

[Corpora-List]NeuroX: Neuron Interpretation Toolkit
by Hassan Sajjad 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

Dear colleagues, We have developed a toolkit to interpret deep NLP models with a focus on *neuron interpretation*. The toolkit is available as: pip install neurox Project Website: https://neurox.qcri.org/ Documentation: https://neurox.qcri.org/docs/ Git: https://github.com/fdalvi/NeuroX NeuroX implements a number of features that facilitate model interpretation such as: - Word-level activation extractions (contextualized embeddings) - Integration with Huggingface - Implementation of a number of neuron probing methods (identify neurons learning a linguistic property such as noun) - Visualize the behavior of a neuron across a set of examples - and many more If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out to me or open an issue on the project's github. Thank you, -- Regards; Hassan Sajjad

[Corpora-List]SOA models for Sentiment Analysis benchmarked on Multiple Domains ( Model and Paper )
by Giuseppe Riccardi 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

Dear all, we are glad to present to you a new BERT-based model for Sentiment Analysis ( for Italian ), trained and benchmarked on multiple domains! The model has been jointly optimized and fine-tuned on multiple domains such as product reviews, social media comments and financial news. The model has achieved better performance than fine-tuning it in isolation on every single dataset, reaching state-of-the-art results in the majority of the datasets that we used. To get and use the model please, follow the instructions available here: https://sisl.disi.unitn.it/itfn-corpus/ <https://sisl.disi.unitn.it/itfn-corpus/> or you can go directly to the official GitLab repo: https://gitlab.com/sislab/multi-source-multi-domain-sentiment-analysis-with… <https://gitlab.com/sislab/multi-source-multi-domain-sentiment-analysis-with…> The related paper will be presented at LREC 2022 conference. The paper is titled as "Multi-source Multi-domain Sentiment Analysis with BERT-based Models" and it is available here <http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2022/pdf/2022.lrec-1.62.pdf>. Best Regards ---- Prof. Dr.-Ing. Giuseppe Riccardi Founder and Director of the Signals and Interactive Systems Lab Department of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering Department University of Trento

[Corpora-List]CFP- SocialDisNER track (SMM4H/COLING) : Detection of Disease Mentions in Social Media.

CFP- SocialDisNER track: Detection of Disease Mentions in Social Media (SMM4H Shared Task at COLING2022) https://temu.bsc.es/socialdisner/ <https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/6766192d9893dae46724eb77b400118fb7bc69da?ur…> Despite the high impact & practical relevance of detecting diseases automatically from social media for a diversity of applications, few manually annotated corpora generated by healthcare practitioners to train/evaluate advanced entity recognition tools are currently available. Developing disease recognition tools for social media is critical for: - Real-time disease outbreak surveillance/monitoring - Characterization of patient-reported symptoms - Post-market drug safety - Epidemiology and population health, - Public opinion mining & sentiment analysis of diseases - Detection of hate speech/exclusion of sick people - Prevalence of work-associated diseases SocialDisNER is the first track focusing on the detection of disease mentions in tweets written in Spanish, with clear adaptation potential not only to English but also other romance languages like Portuguese, French or Italian spoken by over 900 million people worldwide. For this track the SocialDisNER corpus was generated, a manual collection of tweets enriched for first-hand experiences by patients and their relatives as well as content generated by patient-associations (national, regional, local) as well as healthcare institutions covering all main diseases types including cancer, mental health, chronic and rare diseases among others.

[Corpora-List]CfP Special issue "Special Issue "Machine Translation: Principles and Challenges"
by Natalia Resende 22 Jun '22

22 Jun '22

We are inviting contributions to a special issue of the journal *Information* (ISSN 2078-2489). This special issue belongs to the section "Artificial Intelligence". *Deadline for manuscript submissions: 15 November 2022 | Viewed by 122* *More information:* https://www.mdpi.com/journal/information/special_issues/machine_translation… *Special Issue Editors* Dr. Natalia Resende Guest Editor School of Computer Sciences, CeADAR, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland Contact: natalia.resende(a)ucd.ie Dr. Pamela Toassi E-Mail Website Guest Editor Department of English Studies, its Literature and Translation (DELILT/UFC), Postgraduate Program in Linguistics (PPGLin/UFC), Postgraduate Program in Translation (POET/UFC), Federal University of Ceara (UFC), Fortaleza, CE, Brazil Dear Colleagues, Due to advances in the field of artificial intelligence that have led to significant improvements in the performance of machine translation (MT) systems, as well as the availability of popular tools that can be accessed free of cost, the number of MT users has increased significantly over the last few years. The evolution of this technology has also resulted in its incorporation in the translation industry as MT represents a powerful tool for increasing translation productivity. However, in the comparison of machine-translated texts and human-translated texts, several questions remain unanswered, especially those concerning quality assessment in MT. For this Special Issue, we are inviting original and unpublished works addressing issues in machine translation that arise in the search for human parity. We are especially interested in studies focusing on MT translation quality and post-editing; innovative solutions and techniques concerning MT performance; studies involving new approaches for systems‘ implementation; techniques for MT evaluation; examination of linguistic phenomena in the output of MT systems; corpora for MT; the impact of MT in society; and MT user experience. We will also accept works committed to advancing theoretical contributions in the field. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Machine translation evaluation; Post-editing of machine translation ; Resources for machine translation; Machine translation‘s impact on society; MT user experience; New approaches to machine translation‘s implementation and deployment; Incorporation of linguistic knowledge in machine translation; Theoretical contributions to the field of machine translation.
