Exploring the Use of Foundation Models for Named Entity Recognition and Lemmatization Tasks in Slavic Languages [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
This paper describes Adam Mickiewicz University's (AMU) solution for the 4th Shared Task on SlavNER. The task involves the identification, categorization, and lemmatization of named entities in Slavic languages. Our approach involved exploring the use of foundation models for these tasks.

Measuring Gender Bias in West Slavic Language Models [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Pre-trained language models have been known to perpetuate biases from the underlying datasets to downstream tasks. However, these findings are predominantly based on monolingual language models for English, whereas there are few investigative studies of biases encoded in language models for languages beyond English.

Monitoring Listening Comprehension in Real Time: Early Observations from the ReMoDEL Project

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Developing strong listening skills in a second language (L2) can be challenging for a variety of reasons. Within the context of L2 use in higher education, accurate and timely processing of aural input can be crucial for academic success, particularly because vast amounts of disciplinary‐specific content are delivered via academic lectures in ...

Exploiting Cross-Dialectal Gold Syntax for Low-Resource Historical Languages: Towards a Generic Parser for Pre-Modern Slavic [PDF]

Proceedings of the Workshop on Computational Humanities Research, 18-20 November 2020 (CEUR Workshop Proceedings, Vol. 2723), 237-247, 2020
This paper explores the possibility of improving the performance of specialized parsers for pre-modern Slavic by training them on data from different related varieties. Because of their linguistic heterogeneity, pre-modern Slavic varieties are treated as low-resource historical languages, whereby cross-dialectal treebank data may be exploited to ...

West Slavic accentuation [PDF]

, 2010
At the time of the earliest reconstructible dialectal divergences, which belong to the Late Middle Slavic period of my chronology (stages 7.0 - 8.0 of Kortlandt 1989a, 2003, 2008), the West Slavic languages represented the most conservative part of the ...

Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.
Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.

Rediscovering the Slavic Continuum in Representations Emerging from Neural Models of Spoken Language Identification [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Deep neural networks have been employed for various spoken language recognition tasks, including tasks that are multilingual by definition such as spoken language identification. In this paper, we present a neural model for Slavic language identification in speech signals and analyze its emergent representations to investigate whether they reflect ...

Resources and Few-shot Learners for In-context Learning in Slavic Languages [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Despite the rapid recent progress in creating accurate and compact in-context learners, most recent work focuses on in-context learning (ICL) for tasks in English. However, the ability to interact with users of languages outside English presents a great potential for broadening the applicability of language technologies to non-English speakers.

Postalveolar fricatives in Slavic languages as retroflexes [PDF]

, 2002
The present study poses the question on what phonetic and phonological grounds postalveolar fricatives in Polish can be analyzed as retroflex and whether postalveolar fricatives in other Slavic languages are retroflex as well.

On the Morphology of Toponyms: What Greek Inflectional Paradigms Can Teach us

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 77-96, March 2025.
Abstract The research is a contribution to the investigation of the grammatical status of toponyms from the point of view of inflectional paradigmatic morphology. By examining data from Standard Modern Greek, as well as select data from its historical development, the analysis reveals that the inflectional morphology of toponyms shows significant ...
