Popular Abstract in Swedish Forskningsprojektet som rapporteras i denna avhandling har två övergripande mål.

Med kollokationer avses konventionaliserade och frekvent förThe research reported in this thesis has two main aims.

In this paper, we describe a new system to extract, index, search, and visualize entities in Wikipedia. To carry out the entity extraction, we designed a high-performance, multilingual, entity linker and we used a document model to store the resulting linguistic annotations. The entity linker, HEDWIG, extracts the mentions from text usinga string matching Engine and links them toentities with a co

We address the question of which syntactic representation is best suited for role-semantic analysis of English in the FrameNet paradigm. We compare systems based on dependencies and constituents, and a dependency syntax with a rich set of grammatical functions with one with a smaller set. Our experiments show that dependency-based and constituent-based analyzers give roughly equivalent performance
