Abstract

Proper nouns may be considered the most important query words in information retrieval. If the two languages use the same alphabet, the same proper nouns can be found in either language. However, if the two languages use different alphabets, the names must be transliterated. Short vowels are not usually marked on Arabic words in almost all Arabic documents (except very important documents like the Muslim and Christian holy books). Moreover, most Arabic words have a syllable consisting of a consonant-vowel combination (CV), which means that most Arabic words contain a short or long vowel between two successive consonant letters. That makes it difficult to create English-Arabic transliteration pairs, since some English letters may not be matched with any romanized Arabic letter. In the present study, we present different approaches for extraction of transliteration proper-noun pairs from parallel corpora based on different similarity measures between the English and romanized Arabic proper nouns under consideration. The strength of our new system is that it works well for low-frequency proper noun pairs. We evaluate the new approaches presented using two different English-Arabic parallel corpora. Most of our results outperform previously published results in terms of precision, recall, and F-Measure.

Abstract

The performance of information retrieval systems is limited by the linguistic variation present in natural language texts. Word-level natural language processing techniques have been shown to be useful in reducing this variation. In this article, we summarize our work on the extension of these techniques for dealing with phrase-level variation in European languages, taking Spanish as a case in point. We propose the use of syntactic dependencies as complex index terms in an attempt to solve the problems deriving from both syntactic and morpho-syntactic variation and, in this way, to obtain more precise index terms. Such dependencies are obtained through a shallow parser based on cascades of finite-state transducers in order to reduce as far as possible the overhead due to this parsing process. The use of different sources of syntactic information, queries or documents, has been also studied, as has the restriction of the dependencies applied to those obtained from noun phrases. Our approaches have been tested using the CLEF corpus, obtaining consistent improvements with regard to classical word-level non-linguistic techniques. Results show, on the one hand, that syntactic information extracted from documents is more useful than that from queries. On the other hand, it has been demonstrated that by restricting dependencies to those corresponding to noun phrases, important reductions of storage and management costs can be achieved, albeit at the expense of a slight reduction in performance.

Abstract

Many terminology engineering processes involve the task of automatic terminology extraction: before the terminology of a given domain can be modelled, organised or standardised, important concepts (or terms) of this domain have to be identified and fed into terminological databases. These serve in further steps as a starting point for compiling dictionaries, thesauri or maybe even terminological ontologies for the domain. For the extraction of the initial concepts, extraction methods are needed that operate on specialised language texts. On the other hand, many machine learning or information retrieval applications require automatic indexing techniques. In Machine Learning applications concerned with the automatic clustering or classification of texts, often feature vectors are needed that describe the contents of a given text briefly but meaningfully. These feature vectors typically consist of a fairly small set of index terms together with weights indicating their importance. Short but meaningful descriptions of document contents as provided by good index terms are also useful to humans: some knowledge management applications (e.g. topic maps) use them as a set of basic concepts (topics). The author believes that the tasks of terminology extraction and automatic indexing have much in common and can thus benefit from the same set of basic algorithms. It is the goal of this paper to outline some methods that may be used in both contexts, but also to find the discriminating factors between the two tasks that call for the variation of parameters or application of different techniques. The discussion of these methods will be based on statistical, syntactical and especially morphological properties of (index) terms. The paper is concluded by the presentation of some qualitative and quantitative results comparing statistical and morphological methods.

Abstract

Interpretation of semantic propositions in free-text documents such as MEDLINE citations would provide valuable support for biomedical applications, and several approaches to semantic interpretation are being pursued in the biomedical informatics community. In this paper, we describe a methodology for interpreting linguistic structures that encode hypernymic propositions, in which a more specific concept is in a taxonomic relationship with a more general concept. In order to effectively process these constructions, we exploit underspecified syntactic analysis and structured domain knowledge from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). After introducing the syntactic processing on which our system depends, we focus on the UMLS knowledge that supports interpretation of hypernymic propositions. We first use semantic groups from the Semantic Network to ensure that the two concepts involved are compatible; hierarchical information in the Metathesaurus then determines which concept is more general and which more specific. A preliminary evaluation of a sample based on the semantic group Chemicals and Drugs provides 83% precision. An error analysis was conducted and potential solutions to the problems encountered are presented. The research discussed here serves as a paradigm for investigating the interaction between domain knowledge and linguistic structure in natural language processing, and could also make a contribution to research on automatic processing of discourse structure. Additional implications of the system we present include its integration in advanced semantic interpretation processors for biomedical text and its use for information extraction in specific domains. The approach has the potential to support a range of applications, including information retrieval and ontology engineering.

Abstract

Mit der Verbreitung des Internets vermehrt sich die Menge der im World Wide Web verfügbaren Dokumente. Die Gewährleistung eines effizienten Zugangs zu gewünschten Informationen für die Internetbenutzer wird zu einer großen Herausforderung an die moderne Informationsgesellschaft. Eine Vielzahl von Werkzeugen wird bereits eingesetzt, um den Nutzern die Orientierung in der wachsenden Informationsflut zu erleichtern. Allerdings stellt die enorme Menge an unstrukturierten und verteilten Informationen nicht die einzige Schwierigkeit dar, die bei der Entwicklung von Werkzeugen dieser Art zu bewältigen ist. Die zunehmende Vielsprachigkeit von Web-Inhalten resultiert in dem Bedarf an Sprachidentifikations-Software, die Sprache/en von elektronischen Dokumenten zwecks gezielter Weiterverarbeitung identifiziert. Solche Sprachidentifizierer können beispielsweise effektiv im Bereich des Multilingualen Information Retrieval eingesetzt werden, da auf den Sprachidentifikationsergebnissen Prozesse der automatischen Indexbildung wie Stemming, Stoppwörterextraktion etc. aufbauen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das neue System "LangIdent" zur Sprachidentifikation von elektronischen Textdokumenten vorgestellt, das in erster Linie für Lehre und Forschung an der Universität Hildesheim verwendet werden soll. "LangIdent" enthält eine Auswahl von gängigen Algorithmen zu der monolingualen Sprachidentifikation, die durch den Benutzer interaktiv ausgewählt und eingestellt werden können. Zusätzlich wurde im System ein neuer Algorithmus implementiert, der die Identifikation von Sprachen, in denen ein multilinguales Dokument verfasst ist, ermöglicht. Die Identifikation beschränkt sich nicht nur auf eine Aufzählung von gefundenen Sprachen, vielmehr wird der Text in monolinguale Abschnitte aufgeteilt, jeweils mit der Angabe der identifizierten Sprache.
