Using FrameNet in Communicative Language Teaching
- 2012
-
In: Proceedings of the XV EURALEX International Congress in Oslo, Norway. - 9788230322284
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article describes how a lexical database such as FrameNet in its different language versions can be used for communicative language teaching, an approach which focuses on communicative rather than grammatical competence. Using the semantic frames of FrameNet to illustrate situations on which to base teaching can bring about a natural flow in the organisation of teaching materials, in syllabus construction, and in the planning of individual lessons. FrameNet can also support language students in learning to communicate in different situations. The frames can guide them in choosing lexical units and sentence patterns.

Introduction: Swedish FrameNet+
- 2021
-
In: The Swedish FrameNet++. Harmonization, integration, method development and practical language technology applications / editor(s): Dana Dannélls, Lars Borin and Karin Friberg Heppin. - Amsterdam / Philadelphia : John Benjamins Publishing Company. - 1567-8202. - 978 90 272 5848 9 ; , s. 3-36
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Swedish FrameNet++ was designed to be several things. As a digital artifact, it is an integrated panchronic lexical macroresource, primarily for Swedish, but including several other languages, intended as a basic infrastructural component in Swedish language technology research and for developing natural language processing applications. As an activity, it is a long-term R&D initiative, initially aimed at bringing about this macroresource, and now at maintaining and extending it, at promoting its use in language technology research and application development, as well as ensuring that the results of this research and development in their turn are incorporated in the macroresource. As a product of research, it reflects both computational and linguistic approaches to lexicology, lexical semantics, and lexical typology.

Search Result Diversification Methods to Assist Lexicographers
- 2012
-
In: Proceedings of the 6th Linguistic Annotation Workshop. ; , s. 113-117
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We show how the lexicographic task of finding informative and diverse example sentences can be cast as a search result diversification problem, where an objective based on relevance and diversity is maximized. This problem has been studied intensively in the information retrieval community during recent years, and efficient algorithms have been devised. We finally show how the approach has been implemented in a lexicographic project, and describe the relevance and diversity functions used in that context.

-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter describes the development of Swedish FrameNet. A new framenet project often follows one of two methodological approaches: (1) extension, through translation of a different-language – often English – framenet into the target language, and (2) merging, where the resource is built from scratch in the target language. Both approaches have their pros and cons, which have been extensively discussed in the literature. Swedish FrameNet is mainly developed through the extension approach, although balanced with the merging approach. Drawing on the two approaches simultaneously, we describe how integrated language resources and tools have been exploited to create and develop Swedish FrameNet: how it was constructed, what it contains, and the basic assumptions underlying the annotation of its contents.

The Swedish FrameNet++ Harmonization, integration, method development and practical language technology applications
- 2021
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Large computational lexicons are central NLP resources. Swedish FrameNet++ aims to be a versatile full-scale lexical resource for NLP containing many kinds of linguistic information. Although focused on Swedish, this ongoing effort, which includes building a new Swedish framenet and recycling existing lexicons, has offered valuable insights into general aspects of lexical-resource building for NLP, which are discussed in this book: computational and linguistic problems of lexical semantics and lexical typology, the nature of lexical items (words and multiword expressions), achieving interoperability among heterogeneous lexical content, NLP methods for extending and interlinking existing lexicons, and deploying the new resource in practical NLP applications. This book is targeted at everyone with an interest in lexicography, computational lexicography, lexical typology, lexical semantics, linguistics, computational linguistics and related fields. We believe it should be of particular interest to those who are or have been involved in language resource creation, development and evaluation.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Having access to large lexical and grammatical resources when creating a new language resource is essential for its enhancement and enrichment. This paper describes the interplay and interac- tive utilization of different language technology tools and resources, in p articular the Swedish lexicon SALDO and Swedish Constructicon, in the creation of Swedish Frame Net. We show how integrating resources in a larger infrastructure is much more than the su m of the parts.

-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper summarizes a questionnaire put to assessors of a medical test collection adjusted to user groups: health care professionals and lay persons. Three assessors were medical students, while two had no medical training. The study shows how persons with different level of expertise may reason when assigning relevance and target groups. A clear bias was found toward assigning target group of documents and topics to the assessors' own group.

Decomposition of Compounds and the Effect on Search Key Effectiveness in Information Retrieval
- 2010
-
In: SLTC 2010 Workshop on Compounds and Multiword Expressions. Proceedings..
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Research on compound decomposition in information retrieval has mostly been performed comparing decomposition of all compounds in index and query with that of no compounds; and either all constituents have been used or none. This study suggests that improvements may be achieved by selective decomposition and by selective use of compound constituents.

In: Proceedings of the 10th Workshop on Multiword Expressions (MWE 2014) Workshop at EACL 2014 (Gothenburg, Sweden), April 26-27, 2014. Association for Computational Linguistics.. - 9781937284879 ; , s. 67-71
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Constructing a lexical resource for Swedish, where compounding is highly productive, requires a well-structured policy of encoding. This paper presents the treatment and encoding of a certain class of compounds in Swedish FrameNet, and proposes a new approach for the automatic analysis of Swedish compounds, i.e. one that leverages existing FrameNet and Swedish FrameNet, as well as proven techniques for automatic semantic role labeling.

Exploiting FrameNet for Swedish: Mismatch?
- 2014
-
In: Constructions and Frames. - : John Benjamins Publishing Company. - 1876-1933 .- 1876-1941. ; 6:1, s. 52-72
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents work on developing Swedish FrameNet (SweFN) as a resource analogous to the original Berkeley-based FrameNet. We describe the theoretical and practical basics of FrameNet, and articulate some multilingual issues that arise in expanding a linguistic resource from one language to another. SweFN uses FrameNet as a starting point in order to save time and effort, and to make it compatible with other FrameNet-based resources. The lexical units are from the pivot lexicon SALDO, making SweFN compatible with other resources of the larger project SweFN++. It is a corpus-based resource, meant to support tasks within natural language processing relying on semantic data.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- MedEval is a Swedish medical test collection where assessments have been made, not only for topical relevance, but also for target reader group: Doctors or Patients. The user of the test collection can choose if s/he wishes to search in the Doctors or the Patients scenarios where the topical relevance assessments have been adjusted with consideration to user group, or to search in a scenario which regards only topical relevance. MedEval makes it possible to compare the effectiveness of search terms when it comes to retrieving documents aimed at the different user groups. MedEval is also the first medical Swedish test collection.

MedEval — A Swedish medical test collection with doctors and patients user groups
- 2011
-
In: Journal of Biomedical Semantics. - 2041-1480. ; 2:3
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background Test collections for information retrieval are scarce. Domain specific test collections even more so, and medical test collections in the Swedish language non-existent prior to the making of the MedEval test collection. Most research in information retrieval has been performed in the English language, thus most test collections contain English documents. However, English is morphologically poor compared to many other European languages and a number of interesting and important aspects have not been investigated. Building a medical test collection in Swedish opens new research opportunities. Methods This article describes the making of and potential uses of MedEval, a Swedish medical test collection with assessments, not only for topical relevance, but also for target reader group: Doctors or Patients. A user of the test collection may choose if she wishes to search in the Doctors or the Patients scenario where the topical relevance assessments have been adjusted with consideration to user group, or to search in a scenario which regards only topical relevance. In addition to having three user groups, MedEval, in its present form, has two indexes, one where the terms are lemmatized and one where the terms are lemmatized and the compounds split and the constituents indexed together with the whole compound. Results Differences discovered between the documents written for medical professionals and documents written for laypersons are presented. These differences may be utilized in further studies of retrieval of documents aimed at certain groups of readers. Differences between the groups of documents are, for example, that professional documents have a higher ratio of compounds, have a greater average word length and contain more multi-word expressions. An experiment is described where the user scenarios have been utilized, searching with expert terms and lay terms, separately and in combination in the different scenarios. The tendency discovered is that the medical expert gets best results using expert terms and the lay person best results using lay terms, but also quite good results using expert terms or lay and expert terms in combination. Conclusions The many features of MedEval gives a variety of research possibilities, such as comparing the effectiveness of search terms when it comes to retrieving documents aimed at the different user groups or to study the effect of compound decomposition in retrieval of documents. As Swedish, the language of MedEval, is a morphologically more complex language than English, it is possible to study additional aspects of the effect of natural language processing in information retrieval, for example utilizing different inflectional word forms in the retrieval of expert vs lay documents. MedEval is the first Swedish test collection of the medical domain. Availability The Department of Swedish at the University of Gothenburg is in the process of making the MedEval test collection available to academic researchers.

Polysemy and questions of lumping or splitting in the construction of Swedish FrameNet
- 2015
-
In: Proceedings of the Workshop on Semantic resources and Semantic Annotation for Natural Language Processing and the Digital Humanities at NODALIDA 2015, Vilnius, 11th May, 2015. - 1650-3686 .- 1650-3740. ; , s. 12-20

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- When working on a lexical resource, such as Swedish FrameNet (SweFN), assumptions based on linguistic theories are made, and methodological directions based upon them are taken. These directions often need to be revised when not beforehand foreseen problems arise. One assumption that was made already in the early development stages of SweFN was that each lexical entry from the reference lexicon, SALDO, would evoke only one semantic frame in SweFN. If a lexical entry evoked more than one frame, it entailed more than one sense and therefore required a new entry in the lexicon. As work progressed, this inclination towards splitting, in the perpetual lumpers and splitters discussion proved to be progressively untenable. This paper will give an account of the problems which were encountered and suggestions for solutions on polysemy issues forcing a discussion on lumping or splitting.

Practical aspects of transferring the English Berkeley FrameNet to other languages
- 2012
-
In: SLTC 2012 The Fourth Swedish Language Technology Conference Lund, October 24-26, 2012 Proceedings of the Conference. ; , s. 28-29
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper discusses work on annotating data in semantic frames. The work is carried out in the Swedish Framenet project, SweFN++, and it is theoretically and practically closely connected to the English Berkeley Framenet. In order for the framenet to be a useful tool for linguistic research and for applications based on it, it is essential that problems encountered while annotating the data will be thoroughly discussed before any solutions are provided. Here, two questions are in focus: firstly, the problematic relation between certain word combinations in English that translate as compounds in Swedish, and secondly, the cross-language semantic differences between English and Swedish. These problematic cases are brought to discussion in order to find solutions to them at a later phase. Languages differ, and it is crucial for the framenet endeavour to describe and analyse these differences in a systematic and valid manner drawing theoretically on the frame semantics.

Resolving power of search keys in MedEval, a Swedish medical test collection with user groups: doctors and patients
- 2010
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis describes the making of a Swedish medical text collection, unique in its kind in providing a possibility to choose user group: doctors or patients. The thesis also describes a series of pilot studies which demonstrate what kind of studies can be performed with such a collection. The pilot studies are focused on search key effectivity: What makes a search key good, and what makes a search key bad? The need to bring linguistics and consideration of terminology into the information retrieval research field is demonstrated. Most information retrieval is about finding free text documents. Documents are built of terms, as are topics and search queries. It is important to understand the functions and features of these terms and not treat them like featureless objects. The thesis concludes that terms are not equal, but show very different behavior. The thesis addresses the problem of compounds, which, if used as search keys, will not match corresponding simplex words in the documents, while simplex words as search keys will not match corresponding compounds in the documents. The thesis discusses how compounds can be split to obtain more matches, without lowering the quality of a search. Another important aspect of the thesis is that it considers how different language registers, in this case those of doctors and patients, can be utilized to find documents written with one of the groups in mind. As the test collection contains a large set of documents marked for intended target group, doctors or patients, the language differences can be and are studied. The author comes up with suggestions of how to choose search keys if documents from one category or the other are desired. Information retrieval is a multi-disciplinary research field. It involves computer science, information science, and natural language processing. There is a substantial amount of research behind the algorithms of modern search engines, but even with the best possible search algorithm the result of a search will not be successful without an effective query constructed with effective search keys.
