In the field of computational linguistics, Strand 5 focuses on semantic analysis and its application in various content access tools (e.g. information extraction, indexing, summarization), which may be based on different semantic representations. Models, methods and computations 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 computation models. The challenge is to evaluate these different semantic models, to operationalize and integrate them to produce rich, overlaying and consistent semantic analyses, in the same way that robust and good quality syntax parsers have been produced.
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 confrontation of their heterogeneous results on syntactic analysis, textual analysis, corpus analysis and processing, text-based inferential reasoning, knowledge acquisition from texts, machine learning and tools for accessing textual content.
Strand 5 focuses on the analysis of French but particular attention is paid to the identification of language-independent methods that allow the analysis of a wide range of languages for which resources are available. This is indeed a promising approach for equipping poorly equipped languages used in Strands 2 and 3.
The axis focuses on written and oral language. The needs for analysis of spoken language are increasing and one of the challenges is to integrate in the semantic analysis of oral features such as dysfluencies to compensate for the low quality of the results obtained on oral transcriptions.
The Strand has 6 sub-axes :
- Historical and reflexive perspective (HP)
- Constitution and annotation of corpora for semantic analysis (AI)
- Semi-supervised learning for deep syntax analysis (SSL)
- Specific semantic analysis and processing (SSP)
- Knowledge Acquisition Methods (KA)
- Applications: towards an enriched access to text content (APP)
