USAS Tagger: same output for Python version and web demo?
by Tony Berber-Sardinha 09 Mar '23

09 Mar '23

Dear all I'm using the python implementation of the USAS tagger, pymusas. I noitced that the output from pymusas is different from the web demo version. For example, the phrase: 'the characteristics of the network' is tagged like this by pymusas: the the DET ['Z5'] characteristics characteristic NOUN ['Df/A5.1+++mfnc'] of of ADP ['Df/A5.1+++mfnc'] the the DET ['Df/A5.1+++mfnc'] network network NOUN ['Df/A5.1+++mfnc'] that is, the same tag is applied to the whole noun phrase. but is tagged like this on the web: 0000003 010 AT the Z5 0000003 020 NN2 characteristics O4.1 A4.2+ N2 0000003 030 IO of Z5 0000003 040 AT the Z5 0000003 050 NN1 network S5+c Q4.3 Y2 in this case, each word in the noun phrase receives its own tag. or: 'on the table' pymusas: on on ADP ['N6'] the the DET ['N6'] table table NOUN ['N6'] web: 0000003 010 II on N6[i1.3.1 Z5 0000003 020 AT the N6[i1.3.2 Z5 0000003 030 NN1 table N6[i1.3.3 H5 Q1.2 N2 I'm wondering if it's possible for pymusas to generate output similar to the web demo's output. Specifically, I'd like to obtain individual tags for each word, rather than just the tag for the entire multiword expression. I've used the following python code: import spacy # We exclude the following components as we do not need them. nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_sm', exclude=['parser', 'ner']) # Load the English PyMUSAS rule based tagger in a separate spaCy pipeline english_tagger_pipeline = spacy.load('en_dual_none_contextual') # Adds the English PyMUSAS rule based tagger to the main spaCy pipeline nlp.add_pipe('pymusas_rule_based_tagger', source=english_tagger_pipeline) output_doc = nlp(text) print(f'Text\tLemma\tPOS\tUSAS Tags') for token in output_doc: print(f'{token.text}\t{token.lemma_}\t{token.pos_}\t{token._.pymusas_tags}') thank you ahead!

Call-for-Participation: 1st Recommending Task @ ImageCLEF 2023 (Cultural Heritage Content-based Recommendation Task)
by Bogdan Ionescu 09 Mar '23

09 Mar '23

[Apologies for multiple postings] ImageCLEFrecommending (1st edition) Registration: https://www.imageclef.org/2023/recommending Run submission: May 10, 2023 Working notes submission: June 5, 2023 CLEF 2023 conference: September 18-21, Thessaloniki, Greece *** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION *** In recent years cultural heritage organisations have made considerable efforts to digitise their collections, and this trend is expected to continue due to organisational goals and national cultural policies. Thus media archives have not only exponentially increased in size, but now hold contents in various modalities, e.g., video, image, text. Even when structured metadata is available it is still difficult to discover the contents of media archives and allow users to navigate multiperspectivity in media collections. Content-based recommendation systems can help but there is limited understanding how well these perform and how relevant they are for the end-users. Moreover, the system used so far have not addressed the new user requirements of more transparency and explainability of the algorithms used. The task targets a key infrastructure for researchers and heritage professionals: Europeana. With over 53 million records, the single search bar that served as the main access point was identified as a bottleneck by many users. Thus, the strategy has gradually shifted towards exploration of the available collections based on themes. Now users can explore over 60 curated digital exhibitions, countless galleries and blog posts. While there is a system in place to recommend individual items given a query item, the recommendations for editorials are done at the moment only manually. For instance when a new blog is created, the author would manually provide a list of related galleries, blogs or exhibitions that have been already published. *** TASK *** The task requires participants to devise recommendation methods and systems, apply them in the supplied data set gathered from Europeana and provide a series of recommendations in two scenarios: (i) given a list of items provide a list of recommended items; (ii) given an editorial (Europeana blog or gallery) provide a list of recommended editorials. *** DATA SET *** For the task a new dataset based on Europeana items and editorials will be provided to the participants. The individual items in the dataset will include a wealth of metadata based on the Europeana Data Model (EDM) schema. Editorials will be either Galleries (containing a title, optional description and list of items which make it up), or blog posts (containing a title, text in English and a number of items). It should be noted that although all data items follow EDM the quality of the metadata is not perfect, with some data fields being potentially somewhat ambiguous, or at least used sometimes in a creative way by the original data providers (especially with some overlap sometimes in what ends up in "format", "medium", "type" and "subject". *** METRICS *** Performance will be evaluated on the basis of the recommendations that are provided computing Mean Average Precision at X (Map@X) compared to the ground truth. Moreover, the systems competing in this task that can provide an explanation for the results provided will be preferred. *** IMPORTANT DATES *** - Run submission: May 10, 2023 - Working notes submission: June 5, 2023 - CLEF 2023 conference: September 18-21, Thessaloniki, Greece (https://clef2023.clef-initiative.eu/) *** OVERALL COORDINATION *** Alexandru Stan, IN2 Digital Innovations, Germany George Ioannidis, IN2 Digital Innovations, Germany Bogdan Ionescu, Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania Hugo Manguinhas, Europeana Foundation, Netherlands *** ACKNOWLEDGEMENT *** The task is supported under the H2020 AI4Media â€œA European Excellence Centre for Media, Society and Democracyâ€ project, contract #951911 https://www.ai4media.eu/.

08 Mar '23

Call for papers 3rd Workshop DL4LD (Deep Learning, Relation Extraction and Linguistic Data with a Case Study on BATS) as a continuation of the series of DL4LD (Deep Learning and Neural Approaches for Linguistic Linked Data) workshops University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria 13 September 2023 Website: http://dl4ld2023.mruni.eu/ The fourth biennial conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK 2023) ( http://2023.ldk-conf.org/ ) and Cost Action CA18209 NexusLinguarum (https://nexuslinguarum.eu) are glad to announce the 3rd workshop DL4LD (Deep Learning, Relation Extraction and Linguistic Data with a Case Study on BATS): Addressing Deep Learning, Relation Extraction, and Linguistic Data with a Case Study on The Bigger Analogy Test Set (BATS). The workshop will be held in a hybrid mode, so speakers and attendees can choose to participate onsite or online. Conference aims and topics The workshop welcomes contributions from scholars and researchers working in computational linguistics, data science, linguistics, computer science, etc. This workshop aims at bringing together relation extraction, deep learning, and neural approaches with linguistic linked data. We invite research papers, application descriptions, system demonstrations, and position papers that discuss the interconnection of both areas. The workshop is going to include a twofold session with the first part focusing on the workshop presentations and the second part poster presentations on the multilingual linguistic data preparation for NLP experiments focusing on the case study of BATS. We suggest the researchers working on related languages join teams and present rich comparative case studies. Panel discussion includes “unorthodox” new ideas, overviews of the challenges and opportunities of multilingual data preparation for the BATS experiment. The workshop presents an excellent opportunity for the exchange of ideas, insights, and the latest research. The workshop topics are (but not limited to) the following: Topics: • Deep Learning for Linguistic Linked (Open) Data, modelling, resources & interlinking • LLOD and Deep Learning for Digital Humanities • Enhancement of language models with structured linguistic data • Use cases combining language models and structured linguistic data • Deep Learning and LLOD in NLP • Deep learning and relation extraction • Deep learning and knowledge graphs • Multilingual data preparation for the BATS experiment Deep learning and neural network approaches are indispensable in modern Natural Language Processing and generally in all kinds of linguistic data analysis approaches. Artificial intelligence integrating knowledge is one of the core topics in the current research which focuses on providing human thinking for AI to solve complex tasks. One of the important techniques for supporting this research is knowledge acquisition or so-called relation extraction. Relation extraction and deep learning can serve the understanding of the specificities of linguistic data, to be better exploited and combined with linked data mechanisms. Knowledge is a way of understanding the world, aiming to provide a human-level cognition and intelligence for the next-generation artificial intelligence. One way of knowledge representation is semantic relations between entities. Relation Extraction ensures an effective way to automatically acquire important knowledge of semantic relations. It is a sub-task of information extraction and plays an essential role in Natural Language Processing. Its purpose is to identify semantic relations between entities from natural language text. Concerning the current research, there is a field of studies for relation extraction which have described the techniques based on Deep Neural Networks used as a prevailing technique in the research. The workshop intends to be an event of discussion for researchers interested in addressing the peculiarities of the interrelated research areas mentioned before and in advancing the state of the art in deep learning, relation extraction, and linguistic data science. Program: The Scientific Program will include an invited talk and research presentations, followed by the panel discussion. Invited Speaker: Michael Cochez, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Submissions and dates Submissions can be in the form of: • short papers: 4–6 pages; • long papers: 9–12 pages. All submission lengths are given including references. Accepted submissions will be published by ACL in an open-access conference proceedings volume, free of charge for authors. The ACL templates should therefore be used for all conference submissions (https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files/). As the reviewing process is single-blind, submissions should not be anonymised. The workshop will be hybrid. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for the workshop and present their work (either remotely or on-site). There will be no registration fee for participation. Submissions must be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dl4ld2023/ Important dates: Time Zone: Anywhere on Earth Papers due: May, 19, 2023 Papers acceptance notifications: June, 16, 2023 Camera-ready papers due: June, 30, 2023 Registration for participation without submissions deadline: August 30th, 2023 Program committee Andrius Utka, Vytautas Magnus University, Lithuania Chaya Liebeskind, Jerusalem College of Technology, Israel Ciprian-Octavian Truica, Uppsala University, Sweden Cosimo Palma, University of Naples “L’Orientale” – University of Pisa, Italy Dagmar Gromann, University of Vienna, Austria Enriketa Sogutlu, University College Bedër, Albania Giedre Valunaite Oleskeviciene, Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuania Hugo Gonçalo Oliveira, University of Coimbra, Portugal Jorge Gracia del Río University of Zaragoza, Spain Mariana Damova, Mozaika, Bulgaria Michael Cochez, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands Purificação Silvano, University of Porto, Portugal Radovan Garabík, Ľ.
