• Abstract summary: The French TreeBank is the main source of morphosyntactic and syntactic annotations for French. It does not include explicit information related to named entities, which are among the most useful information for several natural language processing tasks and applications. We have manually annotated the French TreeBank with such information, after an automatic pre-annotation step.

• Abstract: The French TreeBank developed at the University Paris 7 is the main source of morphosyntactic and syntactic annotations for French. However, it does not include explicit information related to named entities, which are among the most useful information for several natural language processing tasks and applications. Moreover, no large-scale French corpus with named entity annotations contain referential information, which complement the type and the span of each mention with an indication of the entity it refers to. We have manually annotated the French TreeBank with such information, after an automatic pre-annotation step. We sketch the underlying annotation guidelines and we provide a few figures about the resulting annotations.

  We propose building knowledge and supervised-based Multilingual Word Sense Disambiguation (MWSD) systems. We build unified sense representations for multiple languages and address the annotation scarcity problem for MWSD by transferring annotations from rich-sourced languages to poorer ones. Evaluations of SemEval-13 and SemEval-15 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology.

  We put forward a sequence tagging BERT-based model enhanced with a graph-aware transformer architecture, which we evaluate on the task of collocation recognition in context. Our results suggest that explicitly encoding syntactic dependencies in the model architecture is helpful, and provide insights on differences in collocation typification in English, Spanish and French.

  We propose a graph-based method to incorporate constituent syntactic structures. We also explore to utilise higher-order neighbourhood information to encode rich structures in constituent trees. Experiments on the English and Chinese portions of OntoNotes 5.0 benchmark show that our proposed model either beats a strong baseline or achieves new state-of-the-art performance.

  voluntary studies often require annotators to familiarize themselves with the task, its annotation scheme, and the data domain. This can be overwhelming in the beginning, mentally taxing, and induce errors into the resulting annotations. We propose annotation curricula, a novel approach to implicitly train annotators.
