Part of speech (PoS) tagging is one of the fundamental syntactic tasks in Natural Language Processing, as it assigns a syntactic category to each word within a given sentence or context (such as noun, verb, adjective, etc.). Those syntactic categories could be used to further analyze the sentence-level syntax (e.g., dependency parsing) and thereby extract the meaning of the sentence (e.g., semantic parsing). Various methods have been proposed for learning PoS tags in an unsupervised setting without using any annotated corpora. One of the widely used methods for the tagging problem is log-linear models. Initialization of the parameters in a log-linear model is very crucial for the inference. Different initialization techniques have been used so far. In this work, we present a log-linear model for PoS tagging that uses another fully unsupervised Bayesian model to initialize the parameters of the model in a cascaded framework. Therefore, we transfer some knowledge between two different unsupervised models to leverage the PoS tagging results, where a log-linear model benefits from a Bayesian model’s expertise. We present results for Turkish as a morphologically rich language and for English as a comparably morphologically poor language in a fully unsupervised framework. The results show that our framework outperforms other unsupervised models proposed for PoS tagging.

Linguists have been focused on a qualitative comparison of the semantics from different languages. Evaluation of the semantic interpretation among disparate language pairs like English and Tamil is an even more formidable task than for Slavic languages. The concept of word embedding in Natural Language Processing (NLP) has enabled a felicitous opportunity to quantify linguistic semantics. Multi-lingual tasks can be performed by projecting the word embeddings of one language onto the semantic space of the other. This research presents a suite of data-efficient deep learning approaches to deduce the transfer function from the embedding space of English to that of Tamil, deploying three popular embedding algorithms: Word2Vec, GloVe and FastText. A novel evaluation paradigm was devised for the generation of embeddings to assess their effectiveness, using the original embeddings as ground truths. Transferability across other target languages of the proposed model was assessed via pre-trained Word2Vec embeddings from Hindi and Chinese languages. We empirically prove that with a bilingual dictionary of a thousand words and a corresponding small monolingual target (Tamil) corpus, useful embeddings can be generated by transfer learning from a well-trained source (English) embedding. Furthermore, we demonstrate the usability of generated target embeddings in a few NLP use-case tasks, such as text summarization, part-of-speech (POS) tagging, and bilingual dictionary induction (BDI), bearing in mind that those are not the only possible applications.

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.

Log-linear model is a technique used to analyze the cross-classification categorical data or the contingency table. It is used to obtain the parsimony models that describe the interaction between the categorical variables in contingency tables. Log-linear models are commonly used in evaluating higher dimensional contingency tables that involves more than two categorical variables. This study focuses on analyzing data of poisoned patients from 2012 to 2014 using log-linear model. There are two model analyzed; model for demographic data of patients and model of poisoning information. For the first model, the variables involved are gender, age, race and state. Variables for the second model are circumstance of exposure, type of exposure, location of exposure, route of exposure and types of poison. Both log-linear models are developed to investigate the association between variables in the model. As a result of this study, the best model for demographic data and poisoning information are the model with three-ways interaction. For the best model of demographic data, there is an association between gender, age and race, race, gender and state as well as age, race and state. Meanwhile, the best model for poisoning information reveals that there is relationship between circumstance of exposure, route of exposure and type of poison, location of exposure, route of exposure and type of poison, circumstance of exposure, type of exposure and route of exposure, circumstance of exposure, location of exposure and route of exposure, circumstance of exposure, type of exposure and type of poison and also type of exposure, location of exposure and type of poison.

There is an increasing interest in models for discrete valued time series. Among them, the integer autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (INGARCH) is a model that has found several applications. In the present article, we study the problem of model selection for this family of models. Namely we consider that an observation conditional on the past follows a Poisson distribution where its mean depends on its past mean values and on past observations. We consider both linear and log-linear models. Our purpose is to select the most appropriate order of such models, using a trans-dimensional Bayesian approach that allows jumps between competing models. A small simulation experiment supports the usage of the method. We apply the methodology to real datasets to illustrate the potential of the approach.

Log-linear models are frequently used in hydrology, especially for the regional estimation of flood volumes based on the physiographic data of a set of basins. A log-linear model describes a linear relationship between the log of a dependant variable and independent variables which are functions of parameters, of which the value remains to be determined. It is determined by using a set of basins with known values of dependant and independent variables. The model is then used to obtain a prediction for the dependant variable logarithm of a basin of interest, based on the known values of independent variables in the model. This prediction is unbiased with relation to the log of the target variable. However, the exponential value of this prediction is biased with relation to the target variable. This paper addresses the measures to correct the bias in the prediction, which is introduced by exponentiation; the impacts on the variance of the ensuing predictions is also discussed. Key words: bias, transformation, log-linear model.[Journal translation]

AbstractParaphrase patterns are semantically equivalent patterns, which are useful in both paraphrase recognition and generation. This paper presents a pivot approach for extracting paraphrase patterns from bilingual parallel corpora, whereby the paraphrase patterns in English are extracted using the patterns in another language as pivots. We make use of log-linear models for computing the paraphrase likelihood between pattern pairs and exploit feature functions based on maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), lexical weighting (LW), and monolingual word alignment (MWA). Using the presented method, we extract more than 1 million pairs of paraphrase patterns from about 2 million pairs of bilingual parallel sentences. The precision of the extracted paraphrase patterns is above 78%. Experimental results show that the presented method significantly outperforms a well-known method called discovery of inference rules from text (DIRT). Additionally, the log-linear model with the proposed feature functions are effective. The extracted paraphrase patterns are fully analyzed. Especially, we found that the extracted paraphrase patterns can be classified into five types, which are useful in multiple natural language processing (NLP) applications.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) refers to Human-like language processing which reveals that it is a discipline within the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, the ultimate goal of research on Natural Language Processing is to parse and understand language, which is not fully achieved yet. For this reason, much research in NLP has focused on intermediate tasks that make sense of some of the structure inherent in language without requiring complete understanding. One such task is part-of-speech tagging, or simply tagging. Lack of standard part of speech tagger for Afaan Oromo will be the main obstacle for researchers in the area of machine translation, spell checkers, dictionary compilation and automatic sentence parsing and constructions. Even though several works have been done in POS tagging for Afaan Oromo, the performance of the tagger is not sufficiently improved yet. Hence,the aim of this thesis is to improve Brill’s tagger lexical and transformation rule for Afaan Oromo POS tagging with sufficiently large training corpus. Accordingly, Afaan Oromo literatures on grammar and morphology are reviewed to understand nature of the language and also to identify possible tagsets. As a result, 26 broad tagsets were identified and 17,473 words from around 1100 sentences containing 6750 distinct words were tagged for training and testing purpose. From which 258 sentences are taken from the previous work. Since there is only a few ready made standard corpuses, the manual tagging process to prepare corpus for this work was challenging and hence, it is recommended that a standard corpus is prepared. Transformation-based Error driven learning are adapted for Afaan Oromo part of speech tagging. Different experiments are conducted for the rule based approach taking 20% of the whole data for testing. A comparison with the previously adapted Brill’s Tagger made. The previously adapted Brill’s Tagger shows an accuracy of 80.08% whereas the improved Brill’s Tagger result shows an accuracy of 95.6% which has an improvement of 15.52%. Hence, it is found that the size of the training corpus, the rule generating system in the lexical rule learner, and moreover, using Afaan Oromo HMM tagger as initial state tagger have a significant effect on the improvement of the tagger.

Part of speech tagging is the initial step in development of NLP (natural language processing) application. POS Tagging is sequence labelling task in which we assign Part-of-speech to every word (Wi) which is sequence in sentence and tag (Ti) to corresponding word as label such as (Wi/Ti…. Wn/Tn). In this research project part of speech tagging is perform on Hindi. Hindi is the fourth most popular language and spoken by approximately 4billion people across the globe. Hindi is free word-order language and morphologically rich language due to this applying Part of Speech tagging is very challenging task. In this paper we have shown the development of POS tagging using neural approach.
