Combining computational linguistics with sentence embedding to create a zero-shot NLIDB

open access: goldArray
Accessing relational databases using natural language is a challenging task, with existing methods often suffering from poor domain generalization and high computational costs. In this study, we propose a novel approach that eliminates the training phase

Critical Discourse Analysis Based on Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics: Taking The Economist’s First Commentation on the End of China’s Zero-COVID Policy as an Example

open access: diamondJournal of Contemporary Educational Research, 2023
Based on Halliday’s systemic functional grammar, especially the ideational function, this research aims at disclosing the hidden ideologies and values of the seemingly objective news reports on China’s COVID-19 policies in The Economist. Transitivity, voice, and nominalization are the major analytical subjects. After China lifted the zero-COVID policy,

"We must work tirelessly to promote …": Mediating interpersonal commitment to material processes in English translation of Chinese political discourse. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Evaluative items have been central in political translation studies. This paper extends previous research by focusing on "circumstances + material processes" expressions through data extracted from Chinese-English parallel corpus of Xi Jinping's ...

Zero-inflated beta distribution applied to word frequency and lexical dispersion in corpus linguistics

open access: greenJournal of Applied Statistics, 2019
Corpus linguistics is the study of language as expressed in a body of texts or documents. The relative frequency of a word within a text and the dispersion of the word across the collection of texts provide information about the word's prominence and diffusion, respectively.

Linguistics parameters for zero anaphora resolution

open access: green, 2010
This dissertation describes and proposes a set of linguistically motivated rules for zero anaphora resolution in the context of a natural language processing chain developed for Portuguese. Some languages, like Portuguese, allow noun phrase (NP) deletion (or zeroing) in several syntactic contexts in order to avoid the redundancy that would result from ...

Zero-shot Cross-Linguistic Learning of Event Semantics

open access: yesProceedings of the 15th International Conference on Natural Language Generation, 2022
Typologically diverse languages offer systems of lexical and grammatical aspect that allow speakers to focus on facets of event structure in ways that comport with the specific communicative setting and discourse constraints they face. In this paper, we look specifically at captions of images across Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, German, Russian, and Turkish ...

Gaussian Visual-Linguistic Embedding for Zero-Shot Recognition [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2016 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, 2016
An exciting outcome of research at the intersection of language and vision is that of zeroshot learning (ZSL). ZSL promises to scale visual recognition by borrowing distributed semantic models learned from linguistic corpora and turning them into visual recognition models.

Linguistically-Enriched and Context-AwareZero-shot Slot Filling [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Web Conference 2021, 2021
Slot filling is identifying contiguous spans of words in an utterance that correspond to certain parameters (i.e., slots) of a user request/query. Slot filling is one of the most important challenges in modern task-oriented dialog systems. Supervised learning approaches have proven effective at tackling this challenge, but they need a significant ...

Inflectional zero morphology – Linguistic myth or neurocognitive reality?

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
Knowledge of language, its structure and grammar are an essential part of our education and daily activities. Despite the importance of language in our lives, linguistic theories that explain how the language system operates are often disconnected from our knowledge of the brain’s neurocognitive mechanisms underpinning the linguistic function.
