Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a recent study has focused on term technicality, but there are still few studies on it. |
| Approach: | They semi-automatically create a German gold standard of technicality across four domains . they propose two new models to exploit general- vs. domain-specific comparisons based on vector spaces . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms previous methods in terms of general- vs. domain-specific comparisons. |

| Challenge: | lexico-statistics analysis of formality levels in written communication has long been dominated by application concerns, such as authorship and plagiarism assignment problems. |
| Approach: | They propose a lexicon with entries ordered by their degree of (in)formality and let crowdworkers assess the enlarged set of lexical items on a continuous informal-formal scale as a gold standard for evaluation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed lexicon is evaluated on a German-language email corpus and is then evaluated by crowdworkers. |
