  • Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Computational Linguistics: Posters
    2010
    Co-Authors: Aravind K. Joshi, Chu-ren Huang, Dan Jurafsky
    Abstract:

    You will find in this volume papers from the 23rd International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING 2010) held in Beijing, China on August 23-27, 2010 under the auspices of the International Committee on Computational Linguistics (ICCL), and organized by the Chinese Information Processing Society (CIPS) of China. For this prestigious natural language processing conference to be held in China is a significant event for Computational Linguistics and for colleagues in China, demonstrating both the maturity of our field and the development of academic areas in China.

  • Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Computational Linguistics

    Co-Authors: Aravind K. Joshi, Chu-ren Huang, Dan Jurafsky
    Abstract:

    You will find in this volume papers from the 23rd International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING 2010) held in Beijing, China on August 23-27, 2010 under the auspices of the International Committee on Computational Linguistics (ICCL), and organized by the Chinese Information Processing Society (CIPS) of China. For this prestigious natural language processing conference to be held in China is a significant event for Computational Linguistics and for colleagues in China, demonstrating both the maturity of our field and the development of academic areas in China. COLING started as a friendly gathering in New York in 1965, and has grown steadily since. Yet COLINGs aspiration to be a different conference remains the same. COLING strives to maintain its key qualities of embracing different theories and encouraging young scholars in spite of its growing size. A new component introduced at COLING 2010 underlines this quality. A RefreshINGenious (RING) session, organized by Aravind Joshi, our General Chair, allows new and un-orthodox ideas to be presented before they are fully developed in order to generate more discussion and stimulate other new ideas. We hope that this can become an important feature of COLING in the future. The 155 oral papers included in the hardcopy proceedings published by Tsinghua University Press, as well as the 334 papers included in the electronic proceedings (the same 155 oral papers plus 179 poster papers) are selected from among 815 effective submissions among the more than 840 submissions received. The very selective acceptance rate of 19.02% for oral presentations (155/815 submissions) indicates the extremely high quality of the papers. An additional 21.96% (179/815) are selected for poster presentations to bring the overall acceptance rate to 40.98% (334/815).

  • Computational Linguistics: A new tool for exploring biopolymer structures and statistical mechanics
    Polymer, 2007
    Co-Authors: Ken A. Dill, Adam R. Lucas, Julia Hockenmaier, Liang Huang, David Chiang, Aravind K. Joshi
    Abstract:

    Unlike homopolymers, biopolymers are composed of specific sequences of different types of monomers. In proteins and RNA molecules, one-dimensional sequence information encodes a three-dimensional fold, leading to a corresponding molecular function. Such folded structures are not treated adequately through traditional methods of polymer statistical mechanics. A promising new way to solve problems of the statistical mechanics of biomolecules comes from Computational Linguistics, the field that uses computers to parse and understand the sentences in natural languages. Here, we give two examples. First, we show that a dynamic programming method of Computational Linguistics gives a fast way to search protein models for native structures. Interestingly, the Computational search process closely resembles the physical folding process. Second, Linguistics-based dynamic programming methods are also useful for computing partition functions and densities of states for some foldable biopolymers e helix-bundle proteins are reviewed here. In these ways, Computational Linguistics is helping to solve problems of the searching and counting of biopolymer conformations. 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • Latin Computational Linguistics
    Methods in Latin Computational Linguistics, 2014
    Co-Authors: Barbara Mcgillivray
    Abstract:

    Computational Linguistics and quantitative corpus Linguistics offer valuable resources and techniques for doing what Latin linguists have always done. The crucial frequency information contained in the valency lexicon allows for further corpus-based synchronic and diachronic investigations on verbal argument structure which account for language usage. This chapter contributes to advances in Latin Linguistics and also aims at inspiring Computational linguists. The approach relies on the relations of synonymy and hyperonymy as defined in Latin WordNet, while the latter measures the similarity between two words in terms of the syntactic and lexical contexts. The chapter exploits existing collections of Latin texts, aiming at showing how new resources can be built from these collections and how they can be quantitatively analysed. The methodological contribution in the chapter is intrinsically cross-disciplinary, because it defines Latin Computational Linguistics from the combination of Computational methods and Latin data.Keywords: corpus-based synchronic and diachronic investigations; Latin Computational Linguistics; Latin valencylexicons; Latin WordNet; quantitative corpus Linguistics
