Edge Hill Corpus Research Group, 11 January 2024
by Costas Gabrielatos 04 Jan '24

04 Jan '24

The next meeting of the Edge Hill Corpus Research Group will take place online (via Teams) on Thursday 11 January 2024, 2:00-3:00 pm (GMT). Attendance is free. You can register here: https://store.edgehill.ac.uk/conferences-and-events/conferences/events/edge… Registration closes on Wednesday 10 January, 12 noon (GMT) Topics: Corpus Methodology, Phraseology Speaker: Benet Vincent<https://www.coventry.ac.uk/life-on-campus/staff-directory/arts-and-humaniti…> (Coventry University, UK) Title: Methodological issues and challenges in the use of phrase-frames to investigate phraseology Abstract The importance of gaining a better understanding of phraseology has been recognised for some time now in the area of English for Academic Purposes (EAP). A widespread approach is to extract from a corpus frequently-occurring fixed strings (lexical bundles, or clusters) of potentially useful phrases/multi-word units (see e.g. Gilmore and Millar's 2018). A limitation of this sort of study is the focus on fixed continuous sequences when phrases are well-known to allow a degree of variation (see e.g. Gries, 2008). One proposal to address this limitation is the 'phrase frame' (p-frame), a fixed sequence of items occurring frequently in a corpus with one or two empty slots (Lu, Yoon & Kisselev, 2021). This approach allows researchers to retrieve the most frequent p-frames in a particular corpus, then identify which items typically fill these slots and what meanings / functions might be associated with them. The idea is that the results of such research can help us better understand how members of a specific discourse community typically express themselves, which in turn may inform EAP pedagogy (Lu, Yoon, & Kisselev, 2018). Our project aimed to use a p-frame approach to create a list of pedagogically useful phrases to help novice writers of RA introductions in Health Sciences. A number of studies have used a p-frame approach with similar aims though for different discipline areas, including Fuster-Márquez and Pennock-Speck (2015), Cunningham (2017) and Lu et al., (2018, 2021). However, analysis of these studies indicates that they lack consensus on a number of issues central to p-frame methodology, presenting a challenge for new work in this area. This presentation will provide an overview of the key issues in p-frame research which we have identified and show how we have addressed them. The main aim will be to underline the importance of ensuring that the methods applied by a p-frame study align with the aims of the project. References Cunningham, K. J. (2017).

[2nd call] SIGTYP 2024 Shared Task on Word Embedding Evaluation for Ancient and Historical Languages
by Oksana Dereza 04 Jan '24

04 Jan '24

Dear colleagues, [apologies for cross-posting] We would like to remind you that this year SIGTYP is hosting a Shared Task on Word Embedding Evaluation for Ancient and Historical Language: https://github.com/sigtyp/ST2024/ Test data has been released, and CodaLab competitions are up and running, so we encourage you to register if you still haven't! There is still a week before the deadline. :) *Summary* In recent years, sets of downstream tasks called benchmarks have become a very popular, if not default, method to evaluate general-purpose word and sentence embeddings. Starting with decaNLP (McCann et al., 2018) and SentEval (Conneau & Kiela, 2018), multitask benchmarks for NLU keep appearing and improving every year. However, even the largest multilingual benchmarks, such as XGLUE, XTREME, XTREME-R or XTREME-UP (Hu et al., 2020; Liang et al., 2020; Ruder et al., 2021, 2023), only include modern languages. When it comes to ancient and historical languages, scholars mostly adapt/translate intrinsic evaluation datasets from modern languages or create their own diagnostic tests. We argue that there is a need for a universal evaluation benchmark for embeddings learned from ancient and historical language data and view this shared task as a proving ground for it. The shared task involves solving the following problems for 12+ ancient and historical languages that belong to 4 language families and use 6 different scripts. Participants will be invited to describe their system in a paper for the SIGTYP workshop proceedings. The task organizers will write an overview paper that describes the task and summarizes the different approaches taken, and analyzes their results. *Subtasks* For subtask A, participants are not allowed to use any additional data; however, they can reduce and balance provided training datasets if they see fit. For subtask B, participants are allowed to use any additional data in any language, including pre-trained embeddings and LLMs. A. Constrained 1. POS-tagging 2. Full morphological annotation 3. Lemmatisation B. Unconstrained 1. POS-tagging 2. Detailed morphological annotation 3. Lemmatisation 4.
