Title: Cross-Lingual Information Extraction
Speaker: Krister Linden (University of Helsinki)
Location: ICT Building, L2.06
Date: Thursday, 3 November
Time: 11am-12pm ** NOTE UNUSUAL TIME **
Abstract:
How does a community of robots learn to communicate about the world
they are situated in? The mechanisms for this shed light on the
essentials of word sense discovery and word sense disambiguation in
natural language processing. Many attempts for directly applying word
sense information in IR have failed and there is a reason for this
inherent in how natural language uses context. We conclude with how this
can be used in discovering related terms and acronyms in technical text
and in cross-lingual information extraction.
