The corpus is intended to serve as a reference for training and evaluating methods for anatomical entity mention detection in life science publications.


Stanford CoreNLP

@machinelearnbot

People not infrequently complain that Stanford CoreNLP is slow or takes a ton of memory. In some configurations this is true. In other configurations, this is not true. This section tries to help you understand what you can or can't do about speed and memory usage. The advice applies regardless of whether you are running CoreNLP from the command-line, from the Java API, from the web service, or from other languages.


Analyzing the structure and effectiveness of news headlines using NLP

We wanted to gather and analyze news content in order to look for similarities and differences in the way two journalists write headlines for their respective news articles and blog posts.

[Essay] Parsing reward from aversion

Science

Starting from the moment we hear our alarms in the morning, our emotions guide the thousands of decisions we make every day. More specifically, it is the valence of our emotions that determines our subsequent behavior. Valence is a concept that was originally defined in psychology and corresponds to the value we assign to the perceptions of our external and internal environments (1). Valence varies from negative, when we are afraid or anxious, to positive, when we are happy or peaceful. In the case of the morning alarm, if your emotional state has a positive valence you might jump out of bed, eager to engage with whatever is motivating you.

We wanted to gather and analyze news content in order to look for similarities and differences in the way two journalists write headlines for their respective news articles and blog posts. Note: For a more technical, in-depth and interactive representation of this project, check out the Jupyter notebook we created. This includes sample code and more in depth descriptions of our approach. In linguistics, a parse tree is a rooted tree that represents the syntactic structure of a sentence, according to some pre-defined grammar. For example with a simple sentence like "The cat sat on the mat", a parse tree might look like this; Thankfully parsing our extracted headlines isn't too difficult.


Language Models II: Word Segmentation

"The future is independent of the past, given the present." Orthography encapsulates a set of conventions for a written language, which includes spellings, punctuation, hyphenation, capitalisation, and other features. For example, in English, we begin a sentence with a capital letter and have spaces between words; each word is spelt in a unique way (most of the times), and we use commas to separate clauses and mark the end of a sentence with a period. Reading about the history of English spelling is fascinating. You probably know Geoffrey Chaucer for his collection of short stories, The Canterbury Tales.

Google has just open-sourced its'Parsey McParseface' AI tool and it understands English Google has open-sourced its neural network framework, SyntaxNet to include new language parsing model for English, which it calls'Parsey McParseface.' This is a tool that developers can use to analyze English text. In other words, developers will be able to swindle with the underlying technology powering Google's powerful natural language software so that apps, voice assistants and robots can better comprehend what English-speaking users want. "One of the main problems that makes parsing so challenging is that human languages show remarkable levels of ambiguity," Google says in a blog post. "It is not uncommon for moderate length sentences--say 20 or 30 words in length--to have hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of possible syntactic structures. A natural language parser must somehow search through all of these alternatives, and find the most plausible structure given the context."


Learning Executable Semantic Parsers for Natural Language Understanding

Communications of the ACM

A long-standing goal of artificial intelligence (AI) is to build systems capable of understanding natural language. To focus the notion of "understanding" a bit, let us say the system must produce an appropriate action upon receiving an input utterance from a human. We are interested in utterances such as the ones listed here, which require deep understanding and reasoning. This article focuses on semantic parsing, an area within the field of natural language processing (NLP), which has been growing over the last decade. Semantic parsers map input utterances into semantic representations called logical forms that support this form of reasoning.

Google today announced the public beta launch of its Cloud Natural Language API, a new service that gives developers access to Google-powered sentiment analysis, entity recognition, and syntax analysis. This new API joins Google's other pre-trained machine-learning APIs like the Cloud Speech API, which is now also available in public beta, the Vision API and the Translate API. The new Cloud Natural Language API currently supports texts in English, Spanish and Japanese. Google notes that the idea here is to offer a service "that can meet the scale and performance needs of developers and enterprises in a broad range of industries." Offering an API for sentiment analysis and entity recognition isn't new, of course.
