- Computational linguistics builds models that can usefully process and produce language and thatcan increase our understanding of linguistic phenomena. From the computational perspective,language data are particularly challenging notably due to their variable degree of idiosyncrasy(unexpected properties shared by few peer objects), and the pervasiveness of non-compositionalphenomena such as multiword expressions (whose meaning cannot be straightforwardly deducedfrom the meanings of their components, e.g. red tape, by and large, to pay a visit and to pullone’s leg) and constructions (conventional associations of forms and meanings). Additionally, ifmodels and methods are to be consistent and valid across languages, they have to face specificitiesinherent either to particular languages, or to various linguistic traditions.These challenges were addressed by the Dagstuhl Seminar 21351 entitled “Universals ofLinguistic Idiosyncrasy in Multilingual Computational Linguistics”, which took place on 30-31 August 2021. Its main goal was to create synergies between three distinct though partlyoverlapping communities: experts in typology, in cross-lingual morphosyntactic annotation and inmultiword expressions. This report documents the program and the outcomes of the seminar. Wepresent the executive summary of the event, reports from the 3 Working Groups and abstracts ofindividual talks and open problems presented by the participants.

Edition 1.2 of the PARSEME Shared Task on Semi-supervised Identification of Verbal Multiword Expressions

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present edition 1.2 of the PARSEME shared task on identification of verbal multiword expressions (VMWEs). Lessons learned from previous editions indicate that VMWEs have low ambiguity, and that the major challenge lies in identifying test instances never seen in the training data. Therefore, this edition focuses on unseen VMWEs. We have split annotated corpora so that the test corpora contain around 300 unseen VMWEs, and we provide non-annotated raw corpora to be used by complementary discovery methods. We released annotated and raw corpora in 14 languages, and this semi-supervised challenge attracted 7 teams who submitted 9 system results. This paper describes the effort of corpus creation, the task design, and the results obtained by the participating systems, especially their performance on unseen expressions.

PARSEME Corpus Release 1.3
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 19th Workshop on Multiword Expressions (MWE 2023). - Stroudsburg : Association for Computational Linguistics. - 9781959429593 ; , s. 24-35

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present version 1.3 of the PARSEME multilingual corpus annotated with verbal multiword expressions. Since the previous version, new languages have joined the undertaking of creating such a resource, some of the already existing corpora have been enriched with new annotated texts, while others have been enhanced in various ways. The PARSEME multilingual corpus represents 26 languages now. All monolingual corpora therein use Universal Dependencies v.2 tagset. They are (re-)split observing the PARSEME v.1.2 standard, which puts impact on unseen VMWEs. With the current iteration, the corpus release process has been detached from shared tasks; instead, a process for continuous improvement and systematic releases has been introduced.

PARSEME Meets Universal Dependencies : Getting on the Same Page in Representing Multiword Expressions

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Multiword expressions (MWEs) are challenging and pervasive phenomena whose idiosyncratic properties show notably at the levels of lexicon, morphology, and syntax. Thus, they should best be annotated jointly with morphosyntax. In this position paper we discuss two multilingual initiatives, Universal Dependencies and PARSEME, addressing these annotation layers in cross-lingually unified ways. We compare the annotation principles of these initiatives with respect to MWEs, and we put forward a roadmap towards their gradual unification. The expected outcomes are more consistent treebanking and higher universality in modeling idiosyncrasy.
