• Abstract: We present the first approach to automatically building resources for academic writing. The aim is to build a writing aid system that automatically edits a text so that it better adheres to the academic style of writing. On top of existing academic resources, such as the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) academic Word List, the New Academic Word List, and the Academic Collocation List, we also explore how to dynamically build such resources that would be used to automatically identify informal or non-academic words or phrases. The resources are compiled using different generic approaches that can be extended for different domains and languages. We describe the evaluation of resources with a system implementation. The system consists of an informal word identification (IWI), academic candidate paraphrase generation, and paraphrase ranking components. To generate candidates and rank them in context, we have used the PPDB and WordNet paraphrase resources. We use the Concepts in Context (CoInCO) "All-Words" lexical substitution dataset both for the informal word identification and paraphrase generation experiments. Our informal word identification component achieves an F-1 score of 82%, significantly outperforming a stratified classifier baseline. The main contribution of this work is a domain-independent methodology to build targeted resources for writing aids.

  We propose a benchmark that can evaluate intra-sentence discourse properties across a diverse set of NLP tasks. Disco-Bench consists of 9 document-level testsets in the literature domain, which contain rich discourse phenomena. For linguistic analysis, we also design a diagnostic test suite that can examine whether the target models learn discourse knowledge.

• Monolingual alignment of word senses and definitions in lexicographical resources [0.0]
  The focus of this thesis is broadly on the alignment of lexicographical data, particularly dictionaries. The first task aims to find an optimal alignment given the sense definitions of a headword in two different monolingual dictionaries. This benchmark can be used for evaluation purposes of word-sense alignment systems.

  Authority lists with extensive textual descriptions for each entity are lacking and ambiguous named entities. We combine BERT-based mention representations with a variety of graph induction strategies and experiment with supervised and unsupervised cluster inference methods. We find that in-domain language model pretraining can significantly improve mention representations, especially for larger corpora.

  We address the problem of taxonomy enrichment which aims at adding new words to the existing taxonomy. We present a new method that allows achieving high results on this task with little effort. We achieve state-of-the-art results across different datasets and provide an in-depth error analysis of mistakes.

  We propose CoRPG (Coherence Relationship guided Paraphrase Generation) for document-level paraphrase generation. We use graph GRU to encode the coherence relationship graph and get the coherence-aware representation for each sentence. Our model can generate document paraphrase with more diversity and semantic preservation.

  We introduce LexSubCon, an end-to-end lexical substitution framework based on contextual embedding models. This is achieved by combining contextual information with knowledge from structured lexical resources. Our experiments show that LexSubCon outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods on LS07 and CoInCo benchmark datasets.

  Disambiguation of word senses in context is easy for humans, but a major challenge for automatic approaches. We present a method that takes as input a standard pre-trained word embedding model and induces a fully-fledged word sense inventory. We use this method to induce a collection of sense inventories for 158 languages on the basis of the original pre-trained fastText word embeddings.

We examine the following word embedding models: Word2Vec, Sense2Vec, and FastText.
