Greetings all, One of my favorite experiences of late has been the opportunity to be involved in what I think is a very exciting paper about reproducible research that will be presented at ACL 2013 in Sofia.
The paper is called "Offspring from Reproduction Problems: What Replication Failure Teaches Us" and the authors are Antske Fokkens, Marieke van Erp, Marten Postma, Ted Pedersen, Piek Vossen and Nuno Freire. You can find a preprint here: http://wordpress.let.vupr.nl/reproducingnlpresearch/files/2013/05/FokkensErpPostmaPedersenVossenFreireACL2013.pdf This paper includes a rather extensive discussion of reproducing results WordNet::Similarity, which is where I come into the picture (in a somewhat limited way I would say). My co-authors have gone above and beyond the call of duty and have also provided supporting materials for this paper, including a short video that teases the paper/talk : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EUrbd-Tfjk and a web site that is meant to serve as a gathering place and clearing house for discussions about reproducible research: http://wordpress.let.vupr.nl/reproducingnlpresearch/ Please visit both, and certainly please attend the talk at ACL 2013! If I am reading the schedule correctly, it will be presented during the long paper session on evaluation methods (10a), 15:00 - 15:25, Wed Aug 7. http://www.acl2013.org/site/daily_program.html Cordially, Ted -- Ted Pedersen http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse
