| Challenge: | Empirical natural language processing (NLP) systems involve interoperation among multiple components . a wealth of NLP toolkits exist ( 4), such as spaCy, DKPro, CoreNLP. |
| Approach: | They propose a unified open-source framework that supports fast development of NLP workflows . framework includes processors for NLP tasks, visualization, and annotation . |
| Outcome: | The framework offers processors for NLP tasks, visualization, and annotation, and is extensible . it is delivered through two modularized yet integratable open-source projects, Forte and Stave . |

Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing monolingual corpora are limited for semantic similarity tasks . a major factor affecting the success of deep neural networks is the availability of large and good quality corpors. |
| Approach: | They propose a semi-automated framework to create a multilingual corpus for a semantic similarity task. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can be applied to government, insurance, banking domains provided a bilingual website exists. |
