In the field of computational linguistics, strand 5 emphasizes semantic analysis and its application in various content access tools (e.g. information extraction, indexation, summary), which may be based on different semantic representations. Models, methods and calculations and - in some cases - tools have been proposed to describe and model different semantic phenomena but these phenomena have generally been considered in isolation and with heterogeneous calculation models. The challenge is to evaluate these different semantic models, to operationalize them and to integrate them to produce rich, covering and coherent semantic analyzes, in the same way that we have been able to produce parsers that are both robust and of good quality. .

 

The objective is to intensify research on the integration of semantic models and methods through the collaboration of different computational linguistics teams (Alpage, Lattice, LIPN, LPP-P3) and the comparison of their heterogeneous results on parsing. , textual analysis, corpus analysis and processing, inferential reasoning based on texts, knowledge acquisition from texts, machine learning and tools for accessing textual content.

 

Strand 5 emphasizes the analysis of French, but particular attention is paid to the identification of language-independent methods which make it possible to analyze a wide range of languages for which resources are available. It is indeed a promising approach to equip poorly equipped languages which are used in strands 2 and 3.

 

The strand is interested in written and oral language. The needs for analysis of the spoken language are increasing and one of the challenges to be met is to integrate into the semantic analysis of oral features such as dysfluences to compensate for the low quality of the results obtained on transcriptions of the language. 'oral.

 

The strand has 6 sub-strand:
 

  • Historical and reflective perspective (HP)

  • Corpus constitution and annotation for semantic analysis (IA)

  • Semi-supervised learning for deep parsing (SSL)

  • Specific semantic analysis and processing (SSP)

  • Knowledge Acquisition Methods (KA)

  • Applications: towards enriched access to textual content (APP)
