Recent approaches to Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) generally fall into two classes: (1) information-intensive approaches and (2) information-poor approaches. Our hypothesis is that for memory-based learning (MBL), a reduced amount of data is more beneficial than the full range of features used in the past. Our experiments show that MBL combined with a restricted set of features and a feature selection method that minimizes the feature set leads to competitive results, outperforming all systems that participated in the SENSEVAL-3 competition on the Romanian data. Thus, with this specific method, a tightly controlled feature set improves the accuracy of the classifier, reaching 74.0% in the fine-grained and 78.7% in the coarse-grained evaluation.
Das Chunkparsing bietet einen besonders vielversprechenden Ansatz zum robusten, partiellen Parsing mit dem Ziel einer breiten Datenabdeckung. Ziel beim Chunkparsing ist eine partielle, nicht-rekursive syntaktische Struktur. Dieser extrem effiziente Parsing-Ansatz läßt sich als Kaskade endlicher Transducer realisieren. In diesem Beitrag wird TüSBL vorgestellt, ein System, bei dem die Eingabe aus spontaner, gesprochener Spache besteht, die dem Parser in Form eines Worthypothesengraphen aus einem Spracherkenner zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Chunkparsing ist für eine solche Anwendung besonders geeignet, da es fragmentarische oder nicht wohlgeformte Äußerungen robust behandeln kann. Des weiteren wird eine Baumkonstruktionskomponente vorgestellt, die die partiellen Chunkstrukturen zu vollständigen Bäumen mit grammatischen Funktionen erweitert. Das System wird anhand manuell überprüfter Systemeingaben evaluiert, da sich die üblichen Evaluationsparameter hierfür nicht eignen.

Leben mit Wölfen : Leitfaden für den Umgang mit einer konfliktträchtigen Tierart in Deutschland
(2007)
Der Wolf (Canis lupus) - eine der umstrittensten Tierarten Europas. Jahrhunderte lang wurde er in Europa verfolgt, in weiten Teilen Nord- und Mitteleuropas ausgerottet. Erst in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren, als die Bestände vielerorts ihren Tiefpunkt erreicht hatten, wurden ihm in einigen europäischen Ländern Schonzeiten oder auch ganzjähriger Schutz zugestanden. Allmählich begannen sich die Populationen in Italien und Spanien, aber auch in Polen zu erholen. In den letzten 20 Jahren kehrten Wölfe sogar wieder in Gegenden zurück, in denen sie vorher ausgerottet worden waren. Norditalien, Frankreich, die Schweiz, Schweden, Norwegen, Finnland und nun auch Deutschland sind solche neuen, alten Wolfsgebiete. Häufig wurde die Rückkehr der Wölfe mit gemischten Gefühlen aufgenommen. Von den Einen als Erfolg des Artenschutzes gefeiert, sahen andere darin einen Rückfall in längst vergangene Zeiten. Das Raubtier Wolf, so glauben viele, hat in unserer heutigen Kulturlandschaft keinen Platz mehr. Selbst Befürworter seiner Rückkehr sind oft unsicher, wie man mit dem nunmehr geschützten Heimkehrer umgehen sollte. Das Comeback der Wölfe und ihre Rückkehr in die unterschiedlichsten Lebensräume verdeutlicht einmal mehr ihre Flexibilität, stellt unsere hingegen auf eine Probe. Wölfe können fast überall leben, wo sie genügend Nahrung finden und wir sie leben lassen. Der einzige einschränkende Faktor scheint der Mensch zu sein. Entsprechend sind die Herausforderungen im Wolfsschutz weniger ökologischer, sondern vor allem soziologischer Natur. Pauschallösungen für den Umgang mit dem Wolf gibt es nicht. Je nach Gegebenheiten müssen jeweils eigene, angepasste Lösungen entwickelt werden. Die Vielseitigkeit der Wölfe und die unterschiedlichen soziologischen und ökologischen Bedingungen machen den Wolfsschutz zu einer einzigartigen Herausforderung.
The purpose of this paper is to describe recent developments in the morphological, syntactic, and semantic annotation of the TüBa-D/Z treebank of German. The TüBa-D/Z annotation scheme is derived from the Verbmobil treebank of spoken German [4, 10], but has been extended along various dimensions to accommodate the characteristics of written texts. TüBa-D/Z uses as its data source the "die tageszeitung" (taz) newspaper corpus. The Verbmobil treebank annotation scheme distinguishes four levels of syntactic constituency: the lexical level, the phrasal level, the level of topological fields, and the clausal level. The primary ordering principle of a clause is the inventory of topological fields, which characterize the word order regularities among different clause types of German, and which are widely accepted among descriptive linguists of German [3, 6]. The TüBa-D/Z annotation relies on a context-free backbone (i.e. proper trees without crossing branches) of phrase structure combined with edge labels that specify the grammatical function of the phrase in question. The syntactic annotation scheme of the TüBa-D/Z is described in more detail in [12, 11]. TüBa-D/Z currently comprises approximately 15 000 sentences, with approximately 7 000 sentences being in the correction phase. The latter will be released along with an updated version of the existing treebank before the end of this year. The treebank is available in an XML format, in the NEGRA export format [1] and in the Penn treebank bracketing format. The XML format contains all types of information as described above, the NEGRA export format contains all sentenceinternal information while the Penn treebank format includes only those layers of information that can be expressed as pure tree structures. Over the course of the last year, more fine grained linguistic annotations have been added along the following dimensions: 1. the basic Stuttgart-Tübingen tagset, STTS, [9] labels have been enriched by relevant features of inflectional morphology, 2. named entity information has been encoded as part of the syntactic annotation, and 3. a set of anaphoric and coreference relations has been added to link referentially dependent noun phrases. In the following sections, we will describe each of these innovations in turn and will demonstrate how the additional annotations can be incorporated into one comprehensive annotation scheme.
Part-of-Speech tagging is generally performed by Markov models, based on bigram or trigram models. While Markov models have a strong concentration on the left context of a word, many languages require the inclusion of right context for correct disambiguation. We show for German that the best results are reached by a combination of left and right context. If only left context is available, then changing the direction of analysis and going from right to left improves the results. In a version of MBT (Daelemans et al., 1996) with default parameter settings, the inclusion of the right context improved POS tagging accuracy from 94.00% to 96.08%, thus corroborating our hypothesis. The version with optimized parameters reaches 96.73%.
The definition of similarity between sentences is formulated on the levels of words, POS tags, and chunks (Abney 91; Abney 96). The evaluation of this approach shows that while precision and recall based on the PARSEVAL measures (Black et al. 91) do not reach state of the art Parsers yet (F1=87.19 on syntactic constituents, F1=77.78 including functionargument structure), the parser shows a very reliable performance where function-argument structure is concerned (F1=96.52). The lower F-scores are very often due to unattached constituents.
The problem of vocalization, or diacritization, is essential to many tasks in Arabic NLP. Arabic is generally written without the short vowels, which leads to one written form having several pronunciations with each pronunciation carrying its own meaning(s). In the experiments reported here, we define vocalization as a classification problem in which we decide for each character in the unvocalized word whether it is followed by a short vowel. We investigate the importance of different types of context. Our results show that the combination of using memory-based learning with only a word internal context leads to a word error rate of 6.64%. If a lexical context is added, the results deteriorate slowly.
In syntax, the trend nowadays is towards lexicalized grammar formalisms. It is now widely accepted that dividing words into wordclasses may serve as a laborsaving mechanism - but at the same time, it discards all detailed information on the idiosyncratic behavior of words. And that is exactly the type of information that may be necessary in order to parse a sentence. For learning approaches, however, lexicalized grammars represent a challenge for the very reason that they include so much detailed and specific information, which is difficult to learn. This paper will present an algorithm for learning a link grammar of German. The problem of data sparseness is tackled by using all the available information from partial parses as well as from an existing grammar fragment and a tagger. This is a report about work in progress so there are no representative results available yet.
