This article investigates the role of semantic clause types and modality in argumentative texts.

This paper introduces an attention mechanism that pinpoints relevant context not only for the current instance, but also for the larger context.

This article is a position statement on reproducible research in linguistics, including data citation and attribution, that represents the collective views of some 41 colleagues.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Presentation for the 2017 Symposium on Developing Infrastructure for Computational Resources on South Asian Languages. This presentation discusses the use of a database for language archiving through the example of Himalayan Tibeto-Burman languages.

Presentation for the 2017 Symposium on Developing Infrastructure for Computational Resources on South Asian Languages. This presentation provides an overview of the Computational Resource for South Asian Languages project.

Book chapter defining descriptive linguistic fieldwork, explores tasks that fall under this definition, outlines goals of descriptive linguistic fieldwork, and identifies aspirations and limitations of linguistic fieldworkers.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Presentation for the 2017 Symposium on Developing Infrastructure for Computational Resources on South Asian Languages. This presentation looks at language archiving needs and issues from the perspective of the Lamkang community.

This paper describes the use of Shared Task Evaluation Campaigns by designing tasks that are compelling to speech and natural language processing researchers while addressing technical challenges in language documentation and exploiting growing archives of endangered language data.

This paper gives a descriptive sketch of the various structures of the Saanich dialect of North Straits Salish has to express attribution and to look at structures similar to those designated relative clauses in other Salishan languages from a cross-linguistic and pan-Salishan point of view.

This paper describes a close look at the distribution in constructions of the closed class of complex predicate forming stems in Klallam traditionally called 'auxiliaries.'

This paper illustrates an example of how the linguist's data organization burden can be greatly alleviated with the help of a computer.

This paper updates and expands upon the componential analysis provided by Thompson and Thompson 1071 of the Klallam language's set of demonstrative determiners.

This paper describes a typology of paths.
