A Multi- versus a Single-classifier Approach for the Identification of Modality in the Portuguese Language (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Comparative study of two different approaches to build an automatic classification system for Modality values in the Portuguese language. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a single multi-class classifier with the full Portuguese language dataset that includes eleven modal verbs and a weighted average approach to build different classifiers for each verb. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system is based on a Portuguese language dataset with 11 modal verbs and two different classifiers, one for each verb. |

ModaFact: Multi-paradigm Evaluation for Joint Event Modality and Factuality Detection (2025.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | NLP studies have mostly dealt with factuality and modality separately . linguistic modality conveys the relationship a situation is supposed to have with respect to wishes, norms, goals, authority, etc. |
| Approach: | They propose a resource with joint factuality and modality information for event-denoting expressions in Italian. |
| Outcome: | The proposed resource is consistent with existing ones and compares classification systems trained on italy's ModaFact dataset and best-performing model. |
