Announcement: Release of BabelNet 5.2
by Roberto Navigli 28 Nov '22

28 Nov '22

Release of BabelNet 5.2 https://babelnet.org We are proud to announce the release of a new version of BabelNet <https://babelnet.org/>, its Virtuoso SPARQL endpoint and its programmatic APIs, both for Java and Python, developed jointly by the Sapienza NLP Group <http://nlp.uniroma1.it> of Sapienza University of Rome under the supervision of prof. Roberto Navigli <https://www.diag.uniroma1.it/navigli/> and Babelscape <https://babelscape.com/>, a deep-tech multilingual NLP company providing innovative solutions for natural language understanding. BabelNet -- winner of the prominent paper award 2017 from the Artificial Intelligence Journal and the META prize 2015, and covered in media such as The Guardian <https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/feb/23/oxford-english-dictionary-can-…> and Time magazine <http://wwwusers.di.uniroma1.it/~navigli/img/Redefining_the_modern_dictionar…> -- is today’s most far-reaching multilingual lexical-semantic knowledge graph which, according to need, can be used as an encyclopedic dictionary, or a semantic network or a huge knowledge base/ontology. It has been used by more than 1000 universities and research institutions, enabling multilinguality in several fields of AI and NLP, such as semantic search, Word Sense Disambiguation, Semantic Role Labeling, image tagging and semantically-enhanced multimodality. BabelNet was created by means of the seamless integration and interlinking of the largest multilingual Web encyclopedia - i.e., Wikipedia - with the most popular computational lexicon of English - i.e., WordNet, and other lexical-semantic resources such as Wikidata, Wiktionary, OmegaWiki, dozens of wordnets (including Open English WordNet), GeoNames, and ImageNet. The BabelNet model is centered around multilingual synsets, i.e., concepts and named entities lexicalized in many languages, and connected with large amounts of semantic relations. Version 5.2 ships with the following features: - 21 new languages for a grand total of 520 languages; - 22 million synsets covered; - Wikipedia and Wikidata updated thanks to BabelNet live (October 2022 dump); - Wiktionary has been updated and 45k new concepts have been integrated (October 2022 dump); - Lemma casing updated in 24 languages; - Images associated with synsets have been updated; - Cross-resource mapping updated; - *Domain labels updated*; - Wikipedia labels are *now *multilingual. More statistics are available at: babelnet.org/statistics.

Dear All, The 3rd International Conference on Historical Medical Discourse (Chimed-3) will take place in London, 11-12th May, 2023. Initiated in Milan in 2017, the Chined conference series focuses on multidisciplinary research into European historical medical discourse. We welcome studies drawing from linguistics, literary studies and history – among others – to present a comprehensive and well-rounded view of medical discourse in Europe. The third conference focuses on medical discourse in English in the period 1500–1900. Studies may be either synchronic or diachronic, and a long view may stretch even beyond that main frame of time. In accordance with the multidisciplinary aims of the conference series, we encourage papers that approach medical discourse from different methodological and disciplinary perspectives, though papers based on corpus analyses are very welcome. The language of the conference is English. We invite submissions for presentations of 30 minutes (20 min. + 10 min. discussion). Abstracts of no more than 500 words (excluding references) should be submitted via email to a.mcenery(a)lancaster.ac.uk<mailto:a.mcenery@lancaster.ac.uk> with the subject line ‘Chimed-3’.
