	abstract     = {We introduce the UNSC-Graph, a knowledge graph for a corpus of debates of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) during the period 1995-2020. The graph combines previously disconnected data sources including from the UNSC Repertoire, the UN Library, Wikidata, and from metadata extracted from the speeches themselves. Beyond existing metadata detailing debates’ topics and participants, we also extended the graph to include all country mentions in a speech, geographical neighbours of countries  mentioned, as well as sentiment scores. By linking the graph to Wikidata, we are able to include additional geopolitical information and extract various country name aliases to extend the coverage of country mentions beyond existing NER-based approaches. Studying mentions of Ukraine after 2014, we
present a use case for the graph as a source for continuous analysis of international politics and geopolitical events discussed in the UNSC.},

	title        = {SenSALDO: Creating a Sentiment Lexicon for Swedish},
	abstract     = {The natural language processing subfield known as sentiment analysis or opinion mining has seen an explosive expansion over the
last decade or so, and sentiment analysis has become a standard item in the NLP toolbox. Still, many theoretical and methodological
questions remain unanswered and resource gaps unfilled. Most work on automated sentiment analysis has been done on English and
a few other languages; for most written languages of the world, this tool is not available. This paper describes the development of an
extensive sentiment lexicon for written (standard) Swedish. We investigate different methods for developing a sentiment lexicon for
Swedish. We use an existing gold standard dataset for training and testing. For each word sense from the SALDO Swedish lexicon,
we assign a real value sentiment score in the range [-1,1] and produce a sentiment label. We implement and evaluate three methods:
a graph-based method that iterates over the SALDO structure, a method based on random paths over the SALDO structure and a
corpus-driven method based on word embeddings. The resulting sense-disambiguated sentiment lexicon (SenSALDO) is an open source
resource and freely available from Språkbanken, The Swedish Language Bank at the University of Gothenburg.},

sentiment lexicons is still carried out based on English lexicons like WordNet. In addition, many
of the non-English sentiment lexicons that do exist have been compiled by (machine) translation

of sentiment-loaded vocabulary. In this paper we describe the creation from scratch of a gold
standard for the sentiment annotation of Swedish terms as a first step towards the creation of a
full-fledged sentiment lexicon for Swedish.},

The hope is that the Swedish PoliGraph will enable us to perform named entity resolution on debates in the Swedish parliament with a high accuracy, with the aim of determining to whom an argument is directed.},

	abstract     = {We present the COCTAILL corpus, containing over 700.000 tokens of Swedish texts from 12 coursebooks aimed at second/foreign  language (L2) learning. Each text in the corpus is labelled with a proficiency level according to the CEFR proficiency scale. Genres, topics, associated activities, vocabulary lists and other types of information are annotated in the coursebooks to facilitate Second Language Acquisition (SLA)-aware studies and experiments aimed at
Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning (ICALL). Linguistic annotation in the form of parts-of-speech (POS; e.g. nouns, verbs), base forms (lemmas) and syntactic relations (e.g. subject, object) has been also added to the corpus.
In the article we describe our annotation scheme and the editor we have developed for the content mark-up of the coursebooks, including the taxonomy of pedagogical activities and linguistic skills. Inter-annotator agreement has been computed and reported
on a subset of the corpus.
Surprisingly, we have not found any other examples of pedagogically marked-up corpora based on L2 coursebooks to draw on existing experiences. Hence, our work may be viewed as “groping in the darkness” and eventually a starting point for others.
The paper also presents our first quantitative exploration of the corpus where we focus on
textually and pedagogically annotated features of the coursebooks to exemplify what types of studies can be performed using the presented annotation scheme. We explore trends shown in use of topics and genres over proficiency levels and compare pedagogical
focus of exercises across levels.
The final section of the paper summarises the potential this corpus holds for research within SLA and various ICALL tasks. },

While fairly comprehensive, the structure of the data can be hard to understand and its content is somewhat noisy for use as a quality language resource. In order to make it easier to use and process – in particular for language technology research, but also for political science and other fields with an interest in parliamentary data – we have published a large selection of the debates in a cleaned and structured format, annotated with linguistic information and augmented with semantic links. Especially prevalent in the parliament’s data were end-line hyphenations – something that tokenisers generally are not equipped for – and a lot of the effort went into resolving these. In this paper, we provide detailed descriptions of the structure and contents of the resource, and explain how it differs from the parliament’s own version.},
