A corpus of metaphors as register markers (2023.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using corpus annotation, we show huge differences in metaphor usage between different registers and specific properties of registers. |
| Approach: | They present their work on corpus annotation for metaphor in germany . they focus on metaphors that can serve as register markers and be reliably indentified . |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus annotations show huge differences in metaphor usage between different registers and specific properties of registers. |

| Challenge: | Annotated resource for aspectual classification of German verb tokens in context. |
| Approach: | They present a resource for aspectual classification of German verb tokens in their clausal context. |
| Outcome: | The proposed resource is compared with previous work on German verb tokens using aspectual features compatible with the plurality of aspectual classifications. |

| Challenge: | Using crowdsourcing to train neural machine translation models is expensive and expensive . professional outsourcing of bilingual data is expensive if the translations are of a lower quality . |
| Approach: | They analyze the impact of crowdsourcing on the quality of in-domain training data . they use translations of MOOCs from English to eleven languages to fine-tune machine translation models . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves on general-domain training data and with pre-existing in-domain corpora. |
Metaphor annotation for German (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a corpus annotated for metaphors denotes entities or situations that are in some sense similar to the literal referent, but we believe it is of interest to research on metaphor in general. |
| Approach: | They present a German corpus annotated for metaphor in a project on register and propose to broaden the annotation to include metonymy. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus is compiled and annotated in a project on the interdependence of metaphors and register. |
A Large Automatically-Acquired All-Words List of Multiword Expressions Scored for Compositionality (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing literature on semantically idiosyncratic multiword expressions is limited to English . idiomatic expressions are phraseological units consisting of more than one lexeme and exhibit some kind of idiom. |
| Approach: | They propose to make available a large automatically-acquired all-words list of English multiword expressions scored for compositionality. |
| Outcome: | The proposed list improves the BLEU scores of the English multiword expressions. |

| Challenge: | a large corpus of online content has been developed via large-scale crowdsourcing. |
| Approach: | They describe a multilingual corpus of online content that has been manually translated into 11 European and BRIC languages using the crowdsourcing platform. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus is a product of the EU-funded TraMOOC project and is used to train, tune and test machine translation engines. |

| Challenge: | a crowdsourcing effort to annotate and link parallel texts has been unsuccessful . a data set of parallel texts in eleven languages is presented . |
| Approach: | They present a wikified data set of English sentences linked to Wikipedia pages . they use crowdsourcing to annotate the texts and perform crowdsourcing for complex annotations . |
| Outcome: | The proposed data set is valuable as it constitutes a rich resource . it includes annotated data of English sentences linked to translations in eleven languages . |
