Looking for Corpora to explore Cross-Linguality

Dear All, I am looking for corpora of any genre in the following languages: English, Swedish, Polish, Italian, Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian. I am already aware of a number of corpora (several posts in this blog are dedicated to the dissemination of corpora-related information). These corpora are mostly in English. I would like now to focus on: 1) additional languages and 2) additional genres, such as search query logs, tv scripts, emails, tweets, whatsup messages, etc. All genres are well accepted! The only requirement is: corpora must be free and publicly available. Everybody must be able to replicate or extend experiments using the same corpora/datasets. The purpose of the experiments is to explore cross-linguality in different settings. Please, read the use … Read entire article »

Lecture 2: From Semantics to Semantic-Oriented Applications

From the “Natural Language Processing” LinkedIn group: John Kontos, Professor of Artificial Intelligence I wonder whether translating into formal logic is nothing more than transliteration which simply isolates the part of the text that can be reasoned upon using the simple inference mechanism of formal logic. The real problem I think lies with the part of text that CANNOT be translated one the one hand and the one that changes its meaning due to civilization advances. My own proposal is to leave NL text alone and try building inference mechanisms for the UNTRANSLATED text depending on the task requirements.

Lecture 5: Structured Prediction

Structured prediction or structured learning refers to supervised machine learning techniques that involve predicting structured objects, rather than single labels or real values. For example, the problem of translating a natural language sentence into a syntactic representation such as a parse tree can be seen as a structured prediction problem in which the structured output domain is the set of all possible parse trees.
