    "In the spring of 1995 a call for research proposals was published by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), soliciting projects submitted jointly by Indonesian and Dutch research groups. A collaborative ...
  • Extraction of Dutch definitory contexts for eLearning purposes 
    Westerhout, Eline; Monachesi, Paola (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    The aim of the Language Technology for eLearning project is to facilitate the retrieval, management and distribution of learning material within a Learning Management System by exploiting Natural Language Processing ...
  • An efficient memory-based morphosyntactic tagger and parser for Dutch 
    Bosch, Antal van den; Busser, Bertjan; Canisius, Sander; Daelemans, Walter (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    We describe TADPOLE, a modular memory-based morphosyntactic tagger and dependency parser for Dutch. Though primarily aimed at being accurate, the design of the system is also driven by optimizing speed and memory usage, ...
  • Radio Oranje: Enhanced Access to a Historical Spoken Word Collection 
    Werff, Laurens van der; Heeren, Willemijn; Ordelman, Roeland; Jong, Franciska de (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    Access to historical audio collections is typically very restricted: content is often only available on physical (analog) media and the metadata is usually limited to keywords, giving access at the level of relatively ...
  • Improved Sentence Alignment for Building a Parallel Subtitle Corpus : Building a Multilingual Parallel Subtitle Corpus 
    Tiedemann, Jörg (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    In this paper on-going work of creating an extensive multilingual parallel corpus of movie subtitles is presented. The corpus currently contains roughly 23,000 pairs of aligned subtitles covering about 2,700 movies in ...
  • Automatic Extraction of Dutch Hypernym-Hyponym Pairs 
    Tjong Kim Sang, Erik; Hofmann, Katja (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    In this study, we apply pattern-based methods to text for extracting lexical data, in particular the hypernymy relation. We automatically derive thousands of interesting lexical patterns like such NP as NP and evaluate ...
  • Lexico-Semantic Multiword Expression Extraction 
    Cruys, Tim van de; Villada Moirón, Begoña (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    This paper describes a fully unsupervised and automated method for the large-scale extraction of multiword expressions (MWEs) from large corpora. The method takes into account the non-compositionality of MWEs; the intuition ...
  • Evaluating deep syntactic parsing : Using TOSCA for the analysis of why-questions 
    Theijssen, Daphne; Verberne, Suzan; Oostdijk, Nelleke; Boves, Lou (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    Previous research has shown that the high level of detail in syntactic trees produced by the TOSCA parsing system (Oostdijk 1996) is beneficial to why-question answering (QA) (Verberne et al. 2006b). TOSCA is an interactive ...
  • The automatic generation of narratives 
    Theune, Mariët; Slabbers, Nanda; Hielkema, Feikje (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    We present the Narrator, a Natural Language Generation component used in a digital storytelling system. The system takes as input a formal representation of a story plot, in the form of a causal network relating the ...
  • A pilot study for automatic semantic role labeling in a Dutch corpus 
    Stevens, Gerwert; Monachesi, Paola; Bosch, Antal van den (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    We present an approach to automatic semantic role labeling (SRL) carried out in the context of the D-coi project. Although there has been an increasing interest in automatic SRL in recent years, previous research has ...
  • Discovery of association rules between syntactic variables 
    Spruit, Marco René (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    This research applies an association rule mining technique to purely syntactic dialect data. The paper answers the research question of how relevant associations between syntactic variables can be discovered. The method ...
  • Which New York, which Monday? The role of background knowledge and intended audience in automatic disambiguation of spatiotemporal expressions 
    Schuurman, Ineke (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    The aim of MiniSTEx, a system for automatic spatiotemporal annotation, is to locate eventualities on a time-axis and to disambiguate geospatial information in such a way that geospatial entities can be located on a map. ...
  • Conditional Entropy Measures Intelligibility among Related Languages 
    JensMoberg,; Gooskens, Charlotte; Nerbonne, John; Vaillette, Nathan (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    The Scandinavian languages are so alike that their speakers often communicate, each using their own language, which Haugen (1966) dubbed SEMICOMMUNICATION. The success of semi-communication depends on the languages involved, ...
  • A Vector-based Approach to Dialectometry 
    Hinrichs, Erhard; Zastrow, Thomas (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    A novel unsupervised learning approach to computational dialectometry is presented which uses hard clustering. The approach relies on vector analysis over two-dimensional arrays of word lists collected for different ...
  • Comparing Improved Language Models for Sentence Retrieval in Question Answering 
    Merkel, Andreas; Klakow, Dietrich (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    A retrieval system is a very important part in a question answering framework. It reduces the number of documents to be considered for finding an answer. For further refinement, the documents are split up into smaller ...
  • Identification and handling of dialectal variation with a single grammar 
    Branco, António; Costa, Francisco (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
    We present a study on approaches to handle variation in a deep natural language processing formalism. It allows a grammar to be parameterized as to what language variants it accepts, but also to detect such variants. In ...
  • Invited talk: Efficient HPSG Realization for Precision Machine Translation 
    Oepen, Stephan (LOT, Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics, 2007-10)
