This paper discusses in detail the design and implementation phases during the creation of the Bulgarian HPSG-based treebank (BulTreeBank). First, the interconnection of the HPSG language model, the linguistic parameters of the annotation scheme and the underlying formalism is considered. Then, the architecture of their implementation is described with respect to the interface compatibility between two software tools: the CLaRK System and the TRALE System. Also some innovative strategies are introduced concerning two problems: the HPSG grammar application to a less-processed language like Bulgarian and the controlling mechanisms over the manual annotation work.
This paper presents the results of the preliminary experiments in the automatic extraction of definitions (for semi-automatic glossary construction) from usually unstructured or only weakly structured e-learning texts in Bulgarian, Czech and Polish. The extraction is performed by regular grammars over XML-encoded morphosyntacticallyannotated documents. The results are less than satisfying and we claim that the reason for that is the intrinsic difficulty of the task, as measured by the low interannotator agreement, which calls for more sophisticated deeper linguistic processing, as well as for the use of machine learning classification techniques.
Abstract. Given the huge amount of static and dynamic content created for eLearning tasks, the major challenge for extending their use is to improve the effectiveness of retrieval and accessibility by making use of Learning Management Systems. The aim of the European project Language Technology for eLearning is to tackle this problem by providing Language Technology based functionalities and by integrating semantic knowledge to facilitate the management, distribution and retrieval of the learning material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
