My Case, For an Adposition: Lexical Polysemy of Adpositions and Case Markers in Finnish and Latin (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Polysemy between adpositions and case markers is high in casemarked languages . a singular adeposition can cover a wide range of semantic fields while occupying the same syntactic context. |
| Approach: | They propose to manually annotate adposition and case marker tokens in Finnish and Latin translations of Le Petit Prince. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can be applied to Finnish and Latin translations of Le Petit Prince . it uses k-means clustering to group raw, contextualized BERT embeddings . |

A Corpus of Adpositional Supersenses for Mandarin Chinese (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Adpositions are frequent markers of semantic relations, but they are highly ambiguous and vary significantly from language to language. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate Chinese adpositions in a corpus with all aforementioned supersenses . they adapt a framework that defined a set of supersens according to ostensibly language-independent criteria . |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus is the first to be broadly annotated with adposition semantics in Chinese . it shows that the supersense categories are well-suited to Chinese adepositions despite syntactic differences from English . |

| Challenge: | Frequent prepositions like for are maddeningly polysemous, their interpretation depends especially on the object of the preposition. |
| Approach: | They propose a new annotation scheme, corpus, and task for the disambiguation of prepositions and possessives in English. |
| Outcome: | The proposed annotations are comprehensive with respect to types and tokens of these markers and use broadly applicable supersense classes rather than fine-grained dictionary definitions. |
CaMEL: Case Marker Extraction without Labels (2022.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for morphological case marking and semantic content are not isomorphic. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that extracts case markers from a multilingual corpus using a noun phrase chunker and an alignment system. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can extract case markers in 83 languages and visualise similarities and differences between case systems and annotate fine-grained deep cases in languages where they are not overtly marked. |
Dr. Livingstone, I presume? Polishing of foreign character identification in literary texts (2022.naacl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current state-of-the-art models that use neural networks can help with character identification in agglutinative languages. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a search for the shortest version of the name to identify the baseform of the character's lemma to align different appearances of the same character in the narrative. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is the easiest, best performing and resource-independent method. |
More Embeddings, Better Sequence Labelers? (2020.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work suggests contextual embeddings improve sequence labeling accuracy . but, there is no definite conclusion on whether concatenating different kinds of embeddables is effective . |
| Approach: | They propose a family of contextual embeddings that improves sequence labeling accuracy . they conduct extensive experiments on 3 tasks over 18 datasets and 8 languages . |
| Outcome: | The proposed family of contextual embeddings improves the accuracy of sequence labelers over non-contextual embedders. |
