Classifying semantic relations between entity pairs in sentences is an important task in natural language processing (NLP). Most previous models applied to relation classification rely on high-level lexical and syntactic features obtained by NLP tools such as WordNet, the dependency parser, part-of-speech (POS) tagger, and named entity recognizers (NER). In addition, state-of-the-art neural models based on attention mechanisms do not fully utilize information related to the entity, which may be the most crucial feature for relation classification. To address these issues, we propose a novel end-to-end recurrent neural model that incorporates an entity-aware attention mechanism with a latent entity typing (LET) method. Our model not only effectively utilizes entities and their latent types as features, but also builds word representations by applying self-attention based on symmetrical similarity of a sentence itself. Moreover, the model is interpretable by visualizing applied attention mechanisms. Experimental results obtained with the SemEval-2010 Task 8 dataset, which is one of the most popular relation classification tasks, demonstrate that our model outperforms existing state-of-the-art models without any high-level features.

Speech Tagging

The Part of Speech tagger system is used to assign a tag to every input word in a given sentence. The tags may include different part of speech tag for a particular language like noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, conjunction etc. and may have subcategories of all these tags. Part of Speech tagging is a basic and a preprocessing task of most of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications such as Information Retrieval, Machine Translation, and Grammar Checking etc. The task belongs to a larger set of problems, namely, sequence labeling problems. Part of Speech tagging for Punjabi is not widely explored territory. We have discussed Rule Based and HMM based Part of Speech tagger for Punjabi along with the comparison of their accuracies of both approaches. The System is developed using 35 different standard part of speech tag. We evaluate our system on unseen data with state-of-the-art accuracy 93.3%.

Tagging Methods

Part-of-speech (POS) tagging is a fundamental task in natural language processing. Korean POS tagging consists of two subtasks: morphological analysis and POS tagging. In recent years, scholars have tended to use the seq2seq model to solve this problem. The full context of a sentence is considered in these seq2seq-based Korean POS tagging methods. However, Korean morphological analysis relies more on local contextual information, and in many cases, there exists one-to-one matching between morpheme surface form and base form. To make better use of these characteristics, we propose a hierarchical seq2seq model. In our model, the low-level Bi-LSTM encodes the syllable sequence, whereas the high-level Bi-LSTM models the context information of the whole sentence, and the decoder generates the morpheme base form syllables as well as the POS tags. To improve the accuracy of the morpheme base form recovery, we introduced the convolution layer and the attention mechanism to our model. The experimental results on the Sejong corpus show that our model outperforms strong baseline systems in both morpheme-level F1-score and eojeol-level accuracy, achieving state-of-the-art performance.

The lack of annotated data in many languages is a well-known challenge within the field of multilingual natural language processing (NLP). Therefore, many recent studies focus on zero-shot transfer learning and joint training across languages to overcome data scarcity for low-resource languages. In this work we (i) perform a comprehensive comparison of state-of-the-art multilingual word and sentence encoders on the tasks of named entity recognition (NER) and part of speech (POS) tagging; and (ii) propose a new method for creating multilingual contextualized word embeddings, compare it to multiple baselines and show that it performs at or above state-of-the-art level in zero-shot transfer settings. Finally, we show that our method allows for better knowledge sharing across languages in a joint training setting.

Named entity recognition (NER) is fundamental to natural language processing (NLP). Most state-of-the-art researches on NER are based on pre-trained language models (PLMs) or classic neural models. However, these researches are mainly oriented to high-resource languages such as English. While for Indonesian, related resources (both in dataset and technology) are not yet well-developed. Besides, affix is an important word composition for Indonesian language, indicating the essentiality of character and token features for token-wise Indonesian NLP tasks. However, features extracted by currently top-performance models are insufficient. Aiming at Indonesian NER task, in this paper, we build an Indonesian NER dataset (IDNER) comprising over 50 thousand sentences (over 670 thousand tokens) to alleviate the shortage of labeled resources in Indonesian. Furthermore, we construct a hierarchical structured-attention-based model (HSA) for Indonesian NER to extract sequence features from different perspectives. Specifically, we use an enhanced convolutional structure as well as an enhanced attention structure to extract deeper features from characters and tokens. Experimental results show that HSA establishes competitive performance on IDNER and three benchmark datasets.

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have proven to be especially successful in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging—which is the process of mapping words to their corresponding POS labels depending on the context. Despite recent development of language technologies, low-resourced languages (such as an East African Tigrinya language), have received too little attention. We investigate the effectiveness of Deep Learning (DL) solutions for the low-resourced Tigrinya language of the Northern-Ethiopic branch. We have selected Tigrinya as the testbed example and have tested state-of-the-art DL approaches seeking to build the most accurate POS tagger. We have evaluated DNN classifiers (Feed Forward Neural Network – FFNN, Long Short-Term Memory method – LSTM, Bidirectional LSTM, and Convolutional Neural Network – CNN) on a top of neural word2vec word embeddings with a small training corpus known as Nagaoka Tigrinya Corpus. To determine the best DNN classifier type, its architecture and hyper-parameter set both manual and automatic hyper-parameter tuning has been performed. BiLSTM method was proved to be the most suitable for our solving task: it achieved the highest accuracy equal to 92% that is 65% above the random baseline.

We propose a novel neural model with lateral interaction for learning tasks. The model consists of two functional fields: an elementary field to extract features and a high-level field to store and recognize patterns. Each field is composed of some neurons with lateral interaction, and the neurons in different fields are connected by the rules of synaptic plasticity. The model is established on the current research of cognition and neuroscience, making it more transparent and biologically explainable. Our proposed model is applied to data classification and clustering. The corresponding algorithms share similar processes without requiring any parameter tuning and optimization processes. Numerical experiments validate that the proposed model is feasible in different learning tasks and superior to some state-of-the-art methods, especially in small sample learning, one-shot learning, and clustering.

Sentiment analysis is a part of computational linguistics concerned with extracting sentiment and emotion from text. It is also considered as a task of natural language processing and data mining. Sentiment analysis mainly concentrate on identifying whether a given text is subjective or objective and if it is subjective, then whether it is negative, positive or neutral. This chapter provide an overview of aspect based sentiment analysis with current and future trend of research on aspect based sentiment analysis. This chapter also provide a aspect based sentiment analysis of online customer reviews of Nokia 6600. To perform aspect based classification we are using lexical approach on eclipse platform which classify the review as a positive, negative or neutral on the basis of features of product. The Sentiwordnet is used as a lexical resource to calculate the overall sentiment score of each sentence, pos tagger is used for part of speech tagging, frequency based method is used for extraction of the aspects/features and used negation handling for improving the accuracy of the system.

Arabic Natural Language Processing

This article outlines a novel data descriptor that provides the Arabic natural language processing community with a dataset dedicated to named entity recognition tasks for diseases. The dataset comprises more than 60 thousand words, which were annotated manually by two independent annotators using the inside–outside (IO) annotation scheme. To ensure the reliability of the annotation process, the inter-annotator agreements rate was calculated, and it scored 95.14%. Due to the lack of research efforts in the literature dedicated to studying Arabic multi-annotation schemes, a distinguishing and a novel aspect of this dataset is the inclusion of six more annotation schemes that will bridge the gap by allowing researchers to explore and compare the effects of these schemes on the performance of the Arabic named entity recognizers. These annotation schemes are IOE, IOB, BIES, IOBES, IE, and BI. Additionally, five linguistic features, including part-of-speech tags, stopwords, gazetteers, lexical markers, and the presence of the definite article, are provided for each record in the dataset.
