Creating a coreference solver for Swedish and German using distant supervision

Coreference is a relationship between two or moreexpressions in a text when these expressions referto the same person or thing. Coreference solving,the identification of sets of coreferring mentionsin a text, is a well-studied problem in the fieldof natural language processing (NLP), the com-putational analysis of text. As an example, con-sider this short text:John drove to Judy’s house.He made heIt is said that coreference is difficult to explain, but easy to comprehend; everyoneknows coreference, they just don’t know that they do. We trained a computer toknow it too! Coreference resolution is the identification of phrases that refer to the same entity in a text. Current techniques to solve coreferences use machine-learning algorithms, which require large annotated data sets. Such annota

In terms of its total population, Sweden is one of the countries with the highest proportion of immigrants in the EU. Several factors are critical in integrating immigrants, especially their economic security in a new country.

Transitivity in discourse : A comparison of Greek, Polish and Swedish

This work assumes that various linguistic forms in different languages are related to common cognitive functions and semantic properties. A cognitive function - presumably universal - is information transmission. The notion of interest is transitivity, which contains a set of semantic properties such as agentivity, dynamism, affectedness, boundedness and givenness, and the explicit forms are verb

Testing English Collocations : Developing Receptive Tests for Use with Advanced Swedish Learners

The research reported in this thesis has two main aims. The first aim is to develop tests capable of yielding reliable and valid scores of receptive knowledge of English collocations as a single construct, for use with advanced L2 learners of English. Collocations are seen as conventionalized, recurring combinations of words, and the targeted types are adjective + NP and verb + NP. The second aim
