Using Formulaic Expressions in Writing Assistance Systems (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing computer-based writing assistance systems do not help non-native English speakers find better expressions than those they already know . existing FE dictionaries are limited in example sentences and are difficult to predict the category labels from user input, forcing users to manually designate the category when searching. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for semantic searches of formulaic expressions and a method to leverage existing dictionaries and domain sentence corpora. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method leverages existing dictionaries and domain sentence corpora to find expressions that are not accurate. |
Communicative-Function-Based Sentence Classification for Construction of an Academic Formulaic Expression Database (2021.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Formulaic expressions (FEs) are used in scientific papers. |
| Approach: | They propose to use top–down approach to assign CF labels to sentences and then extract FEs from them using a CF-labelled sentence dataset. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can be used to build FE databases of disciplines that are different from the training data. |
An Evaluation Dataset for Identifying Communicative Functions of Sentences in English Scholarly Papers (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Formulaic expressions are used by authors of scientific papers because they convey specific communicative functions in the rhetorical structure of papers. |
| Approach: | They created a manually annotated dataset to detect formulaic expressions in sentences using a seed list of labelled formulaic words. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset can detect communicative functions in sentences using a seed list of labelled expressions from scholarly papers in the ACL Anthology. |
