Title: Multilingual NLP: Parsing German & Multilingual Coreference
Resolution
abstract:
In the last two decades, Natural Language Processing (NLP) has almost
exclusively worked on English. However, when we apply the methods
developed for English to other languages, at best, the performance is
significantly below the results for English, but in many cases, the
methods cannot be applied at all. This talk will concentrate on two
problems, syntactic parsing and coreference resolution. For parsing,
we will look at results for two German treebanks, which have a
similar textual basis but different annotations schemes as well as
strikingly different results. In the second part of the talk, I will
present first results in multilingual coreference resolution, with a
focus on markable extraction.
bio:
Sandra Kübler is an Assistant Professor and the Director of
Computational Linguistics in the Department of Linguistics at Indiana
University. She holds a PhD in Computational Linguistics from the
University of Tübingen and an MA from the University of Trier, both
in Germany. Before she moved to Indiana, Kübler spent time at the
University of Tübingen and the University of Duisburg. Her main
research areas are dependency parsing, parsing for morphologically
rich languages (mostly German), and machine learning for
Computational Linguistics problems (e.g. for anaphora resolution or
word sense disambiguation). She is interested in how to integrate
linguistic information into machine-learning approaches to
Computational Linguistics.
