In this paper, we discuss the use of natural language processing and artificial intelligence to analyze nutritional and sustainability aspects of recipes and food. We present the state-of-the-art and some use cases, followed by a discussion of challenges. Our perspective on addressing these is that while they typically have a technical nature, they nevertheless require an interdisciplinary approach combining natural language processing and artificial intelligence with expert domain knowledge to create practical tools and comprehensive analysis for the food domain.

Work in computational linguistics began very soon after the development of the first computers (Booth, Brandwood and Cleave 1958), yet in the intervening four decades there has been a pervasive feeling that progress in computer understanding of natural language has not been commensurate with progress in other computer applications. Recently, a number of prominent researchers in natural language processing met to assess the state of the discipline and discuss future directions (Bates and Weischedel 1993). The consensus of this meeting was that increased attention to large amounts of lexical and domain knowledge was essential for significant progress, and current research efforts in the field reflect this point of view.

Text-based reading comprehension models have great research significance and market value and are one of the main directions of natural language processing. Reading comprehension models of single-span answers have recently attracted more attention and achieved significant results. In contrast, multi-span answer models for reading comprehension have been less investigated and their performances need improvement. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a text-based multi-span network for reading comprehension, ALBERT_SBoundary, and build a multi-span answer corpus, MultiSpan_NMU. We also conduct extensive experiments on the public multi-span corpus, MultiSpan_DROP, and our multi-span answer corpus, MultiSpan_NMU, and compare the proposed method with the state-of-the-art. The experimental results show that our proposed method achieves F1 scores of 84.10 and 92.88 on MultiSpan_DROP and MultiSpan_NMU datasets, respectively, while it also has fewer parameters and a shorter training time.

Despite being investigated for over 50 years, the task of automated essay scoring is far from being solved. Nevertheless, it continues to draw a lot of attention in the natural language processing community in part because of its commercial and educational values as well as the associated research challenges. This paper presents an overview of the major milestones made in automated essay scoring research since its inception.

AbstractThe commercialisation of natural language processing began over 35 years ago, but it’s only in the last year or two that it’s become substantially more visible, largely because of the intense popular interest in artificial intelligence. So what’s the state of commercial NLP today? We survey the main industry categories of relevance, and offer comment on where the action is today.

This chapter gives an overview over the state-of-the-art in natural language processing for ontology learning. It presents two main NLP techniques for knowledge extraction from text, namely shallow techniques and deep techniques, and explains their usefulness for each step of the ontology learning process. The chapter also advocates the interest of deeper semantic analysis methods for ontology learning. In fact, there have been very few attempts to create ontologies using deep NLP. After a brief introduction to the main semantic analysis approaches, the chapter focuses on lexico-syntactic patterns based on dependency grammars and explains how these patterns can be considered as a step towards deeper semantic analysis. Finally, the chapter addresses the “ontologization” task that is the ability to filter important concepts and relationships among the mass of extracted knowledge.

AbstractMorphological analysis and disambiguation are crucial stages in a variety of natural language processing applications, especially when languages with complex morphology are concerned. We present a system which disambiguates the output of a morphological analyzer for Hebrew. It consists of several simple classifiers and a module that combines them under the constraints imposed by the analyzer. We explore several approaches to classifier combination, as well as a back-off mechanism that relies on a large unannotated corpus. Our best result, around 83 percent accuracy, compares favorably with the state of the art on this task.

Abstract This paper describes the Integrated Domain Modeling approach and introduces the supporting toolset as a solution to the complex domain-modeling task. This approach integrates artificial intelligence (AI) and system analysis by exploiting ontology, natural language processing (NLP), use cases and model-driven architecture (MDA) for knowledge engineering and domain modeling. The IDM toolset provides the opportunity to automatically generate the initial AS-IS model from the formally defined domain knowledge. In this paper, we describe in detail the scope, architecture and implementation of the toolset.

Suicide prevention is one of the great issues of the current era. Institutions such as the World Health Organization, have continued to search for all possible alternatives for early detection and timely prevention. Suicide rates have grown more and more in the world, and Mexico, although it is not the country with the most suicides, is one of the countries with the highest growth in recent years. At present, the use of social networks has generated great changes in the way we communicate. Expressing yourself through a social network begins to be more common than expressing ourselves to human beings. Several studies, which will be presented later, show that it is possible to determine from the content of social networks: cases of depression, risk of suicide, and other mental problems. The use of technological tools, such as Natural Language Processing, has served as an effective ally for the early detection of risks, such as abuse, bullying or even detecting emotional problems. The present research seeks to carry out an in-depth analysis in the state of the art of the application of Natural Language Processing as an ally for the detection of suicide risk from the analysis of texts for Mexican Spanish in Social Networks.
