@article{dupplaw-etal-2014-information-195563, title = {Information extraction from multimedia web documents: an open-source platform and testbed}, abstract = {The LivingKnowledge project aimed to enhance the current state of the art in search, retrieval and knowledge management on the web by advancing the use of sentiment and opinion analysis within multimedia applications. To achieve this aim, a diverse set of novel and complementary analysis techniques have been integrated into a single, but extensible software platform on which such applications can be built. The platform combines state-of-the-art techniques for extracting facts, opinions and sentiment from multimedia documents, and unlike earlier platforms, it exploits both visual and textual techniques to support multimedia information retrieval. Foreseeing the usefulness of this software in the wider community, the platform has been made generally available as an open-source project. This paper describes the platform design, gives an overview of the analysis algorithms integrated into the system and describes two applications that utilise the system for multimedia information retrieval.}, journal = {International Journal of Multimedia Information Retrieval}, author = {Dupplaw, David and Matthews, Michael and Johansson, Richard and Boato, Giulia and Costanzo, Andrea and Fontani, Marco and Minack, Enrico and Demidova, Elena and Blanco, Roi and Griffiths, Thomas and Lewis, Paul and Hare, Jonathon and Moschitti, Alessandro}, year = {2014}, volume = {3}, number = {2}, pages = {97--111}, } @article{forsberg-etal-2014-from-208123, title = {From construction candidates to constructicon entries: An experiment using semi-automatic methods for identifying constructions in corpora}, abstract = { We present an experiment where natural language processing tools are used to automatically identify potential constructions in a corpus. e experiment was conducted as part of the ongoing efforts to develop a Swedish constructicon. Using an automatic method to suggest constructions has advantages not only for efficiency but also methodologically: it forces the analyst to look more objec-tively at the constructions actually occurring in corpora, as opposed to focusing on “interesting” constructions only. As a heuristic for identifying potential con-structions, the method has proved successful, yielding about 200 (out of 1,200) highly relevant construction candidates.}, journal = {Constructions and Frames}, author = {Forsberg, Markus and Johansson, Richard and Bäckström, Linnéa and Borin, Lars and Lyngfelt, Benjamin and Olofsson, Joel and Prentice, Julia}, year = {2014}, volume = {6}, number = {1, 2014}, pages = {114--135}, } @inProceedings{pilan-etal-2014-rule-210940, title = {Rule-based and machine learning approaches for second language sentence-level readability}, abstract = {We present approaches for the identification of sentences understandable by second language learners of Swedish, which can be used in automatically generated exercises based on corpora. In this work we merged methods and knowledge from machine learning-based readability research, from rule-based studies of Good Dictionary Examples and from second language learning syllabuses. The proposed selection methods have also been implemented as a module in a free web-based language learning platform. Users can use different parameters and linguistic filters to personalize their sentence search with or without a machine learning component assessing readability. The sentences selected have already found practical use as multiple-choice exercise items within the same platform. Out of a number of deep linguistic indicators explored, we found mainly lexical-morphological and semantic features informative for second language sentence-level readability. We obtained a readability classification accuracy result of 71%, which approaches the performance of other models used in similar tasks. Furthermore, during an empirical evaluation with teachers and students, about seven out of ten sentences selected were considered understandable, the rule-based approach slightly outperforming the method incorporating the machine learning model.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Ninth Workshop on Innovative Use of NLP for Building Educational Applications, June 26, 2014 Baltimore, Maryland, USA}, author = {Pilán, Ildikó and Volodina, Elena and Johansson, Richard}, year = {2014}, ISBN = {978-1-941643-03-7}, pages = {174----184}, } @inProceedings{ahlberg-etal-2014-swedish-210083, title = {Swedish FrameNet++ The Beginning of the End and the End of the Beginning}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Fifth Swedish Language Technology Conference, Uppsala, 13-14 November 2014}, author = {Ahlberg, Malin and Borin, Lars and Dannélls, Dana and Forsberg, Markus and Toporowska Gronostaj, Maria and Friberg Heppin, Karin and Johansson, Richard and Kokkinakis, Dimitrios and Olsson, Leif-Jöran and Uppström, Jonatan}, year = {2014}, } @inProceedings{adesam-etal-2014-koala-211376, title = {Koala – Korp’s Linguistic Annotations Developing an infrastructure for text-based research with high-quality annotations}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Fifth Swedish Language Technology Conference, Uppsala, 13-14 November 2014}, author = {Adesam, Yvonne and Borin, Lars and Bouma, Gerlof and Forsberg, Markus and Johansson, Richard}, year = {2014}, } @inProceedings{gunther-etal-2014-rtrgo-201512, title = {RTRGO: Enhancing the GU-MLT-LT System for Sentiment Analysis of Short Messages}, abstract = {This paper describes the enhancements made to our GU-MLT-LT system (Günther and Furrer, 2013) for the SemEval-2014 re-run of the SemEval-2013 shared task on sentiment analysis in Twitter.
