Thus far however, culturomics has only made use of, and shown the great potential of, statistical methods. In this paper, we present a vision for a knowledge-based culturomics that complements traditional culturomics. We discuss the possibilities and challenges of combining knowledge-based methods with statistical methods and address major challenges that arise due to the nature of the data; diversity of sources, changes in language over time as well as temporal dynamics of information in general. We address all layers needed for knowledge-based culturomics, from natural language processing and relations to summaries and opinions.}, journal = {International Journal on Digital Libraries}, author = {Tahmasebi, Nina and Borin, Lars and Capannini, Gabriele and Dubhashi, Devdatt and Exner, Peter and Forsberg, Markus and Gossen, Gerhard and Johansson, Fredrik and Johansson, Richard and Kågebäck, Mikael and Mogren, Olof and Nugues, Pierre and Risse, Thomas}, year = {2015}, volume = {15}, number = {2-4}, pages = {169--187}, } @edited_book{volodina-etal-2015-proceedings-226574, title = {Proceedings of the 4th workshop on NLP for computer assisted language learning at Nodalida 2015, Vilnius, 11th May, 2015}, editor = {Volodina, Elena and Borin, Lars and Pilán, Ildikó}, year = {2015}, publisher = {Linköping University Press}, address = {Linköping}, ISBN = {978-91-7519-036-5}, } @inProceedings{borin-etal-2015-here-217351, title = {Here be dragons? The perils and promises of inter-resource lexical-semantic mapping}, abstract = {Lexical-semantic knowledges sources are a stock item in the language technologist’s toolbox, having proved their practical worth in many and diverse natural language processing (NLP) applications. In linguistics, lexical semantics comes in many flavors, but in the NLP world, wordnets reign more or less supreme. There has been some promising work utilizing Roget-style thesauruses instead, but wider experimentation is hampered by the limited availability of such resources. The work presented here is a first step in the direction of creating a freely available Roget-style lexical resource for modern Swedish. Here, we explore methods for automatic disambiguation of interresource mappings with the longer-term goal of utilizing similar techniques for automatic enrichment of lexical-semantic resources.}, booktitle = {Linköping Electronic Conference Proceedings.
