Greetings all, There will be two NSP related papers at ACL 2011 during the workshop program.
On June 23 NSP will be a part of the demo program for the MWE workshop: http://multiword.sourceforge.net/PHITE.php?sitesig=CONF&page=CONF_20_MWE_2011___lb__ACL__rb__ The following is a very short overview paper written for the workshop: The Ngram Statistics Package (Text::NSP) - A Flexible Tool for Identifying Ngrams, Collocations, and Word Associations (Pedersen, Banerjee, McInnes, Kohli, Joshi, and Liu) - To Appear in the Proceedings of Multiword Expressions : from Parsing and generation to the Real World (MWE 2011), an ACL HLT 2011 Workshop, June 23, 2011, Portland, Oregon. (Demonstration System) http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/Pubs/pedersen-mwe-2011.pdf Then on June 24 NSP will be featured in a shared talk task at the DiSCo workshop. http://disco2011.fzi.de/ NSP was used to measure semantic compositionality, and in the end did reasonably well. Identifying Collocations to Measure Compositionality : Shared Task System Description (Pedersen) - To Appear in the Proceedings of Distributional Semantics and Compositionality (DiSCo 2011), an ACL HLT 2011 Workshop, June 24, 2011, Portland, Oregon. http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/Pubs/pedersen-disco2011.pdf So, if you are at ACL 2011 please consider attending these events, or catch up with us some other time.
