• Abstract: In this work, we create a web application to highlight the output of NLP models trained to parse and label discourse segments in law text. Our system is built primarily with journalists and legal interpreters in mind, and we focus on state-level law that uses U.S. Census population numbers to allocate resources and organize government. Our system exposes a corpus we collect of 6,000 state-level laws that pertain to the U.S. census, using 25 scrapers we built to crawl state law websites, which we release. We also build a novel, flexible annotation framework that can handle span-tagging and relation tagging on an arbitrary input text document and be embedded simply into any webpage. This framework allows journalists and researchers to add to our annotation database by correcting and tagging new data.

  We propose a novel dynamic vector quantization (DVA-VAE) model that can adjust the encoding length based on the information density in sign language. Experiments conducted on the PHOENIX14T dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method. We propose a new large German sign language dataset, PHOENIX-News, which contains 486 hours of sign language videos, audio, and transcription texts.

  The massive collection of user posts across social media platforms is primarily untapped for artificial intelligence (AI) use cases. Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of AI that leverages bodies of documents, known as corpora, to train computers in human-like language understanding. This study demonstrates that the applied results of unsupervised analysis allow a computer to predict either negative, positive, or neutral user sentiment towards plastic surgery.

This simple baseline surpasses the previous state-of-the-art results on two sign language translation benchmarks.

  This work provides the first documentation for the Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus (C4; Raffel et al., 2020), a dataset created by applying a set of filters to a single snapshot of Common Crawl. We begin with a high-level summary of the data, including distributions of where the text came from and when it was written. We then give more detailed analysis on salient parts of this data, including the most frequent sources of text.
