Article discusses the morpho-syntax of phrasal proper names like Deutsche Bahn 'German Railway' and Norske Skog 'Norwegian Forest' in German and Norwegian. The authors document that phrasal proper names may show features of recursivity evidenced most clearly in Norwegian.

Video recording of Computational Resource for South Asian Languages' (CoRSAL) 6th Annual Planning Meeting which focused on collecting, organizing, and archiving materials for dictionaries.

Article describes how the authors present an analysis of eight measures used for quantifying morphological complexity of natural languages. The measures they study are corpus-based measures of morphological complexity with varying requirements for corpus annotation.

This article is an exploratory study providing empirical data on language archive user needs and supports some anecdotal evidence of known issues facing language archive end-users, depositors, and managers in primarily academic contexts.

Article provides a systematic comparison and detailed analysis of two prenominal possessive constructions in Yiddish, the familiar mayn khaver ‘my friend’ and the less well-known mayner a khaver ‘a friend of mine.’

Article reviewing one particular challenge to data management relevant to South Asia, which is the complexity of names (of individuals, groups, and languages). It was presented at the 1st International Workshop on Digital Language Archives held on September 30-October 1, 2021 as part of the ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2021.

Conference proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Digital Language Archives held on September 30-October 1, 2021 as part of the ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2021. It includes 14 peer-reviewed papers that were presented at the workshop and an introduction from the workshop organizers.

Presentation slides for the introduction of the Computational Resource for South Asian Languages' (CoRSAL) 5th Annual Planning Meeting which focused on increasing engagement with CoRSAL through social media.

Presentation describing the ongoing CoRSAL (Computational Resource for South Asian Languages) project, including background on the UNT Digital Library infrastructure and metadata schema, specific fields that have presented issues or areas of discussion for language data records (language, creator/contributor, and relation), and final conclusions about the collaboration so far.

This article investigates the use of synthetic data for the annotation and automated extraction of family history information relating to cases of cardiac disease from Norwegian clinical text. This work assesses the validity and applicability of the annotated synthetic corpus using machine learning techniques. The methodology outlined in this article may be useful in other situations where limited availability of clinical text hinders NLP tasks.

This article trained machine learning techniques to classify Norwegian radiology reports of pediatric CT examinations according to their description of abnormal findings. The developed models are robust with respect to different contexts, and may be used in quality assurance processes.

Article investigates whether translating negation is an issue for modern MT systems using 17 translation directions as test bed and provides a linguistically motivated analysis that explains the majority of the findings. The authors release their annotations and code to replicate analysis here: https://github.com/mosharafhossain/negation-mt.

Introductory presentation for the CoRSAL 4th Annual Meeting held on October 1, 2020.

Presentation on the author's interviews with three scholars of Bodish languages about their experiences, materials, and preservation plans and their reflections on language archives, particularly in regards to accessibility and usability for pedagogy. It was presented at the CoRSAL 4th Annual Meeting held on October 1, 2020.

Article addressing if a new Bayesian framework can be introduced and ways to overcome subjectivity. The authors introduce a new method called Generalized Bayesian Dating (GBD) for inferring dates of language groups from lexical and phonological data. This work has implications for future performance testing in the area of linguistic dating.

This is the hierarchical coding scheme used for qualitative analysis of interviews with language archive managers, depositors, and end-users as part of the 'Exploring Methods and Techniques for Facilitating Access to Digital Language Archives' project (January 2019-August 2020).

Article presents WikiPossessions, a new benchmark corpus for the task of temporally-oriented possession (TOP), or tracking objects as they change hands over time. In addition to the corpus, the authors release evaluation scripts and a baseline model for the task.

Article presenting a corpus of negations and their underlying positive interpretations using negations from Simple Wikipedia, automatically generating potential positive interpretations, and collecting manual annotations that effectively rewrite the negation in positive terms. This article was presented at the Eighth Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics (SEM 2019) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, June 6-7, 2019.

Article presents a fully automated workflow for phylogenetic reconstruction on large datasets, consisting of two novel methods, one for fast detection of cognates and one for fast Bayesian phylogenetic inference.

This paper presents a new corpus of Wikipedia articles annotated with temporally-oriented possession or tracking concrete objects as they change hands over time.

Video of one group discussion during the break-out session at the 2018 CoRSAL Symposium on Developing Infrastructure for a Computational Resource on South Asian Languages. Participants broke up into two groups to discuss various issues that emerge during the process of documenting and archiving languages.
