• A non-projective greedy dependency parser with bidirectional LSTMs 

      Vilares, David; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2017-08)
      [Abstract]: The LyS-FASTPARSE team present BIST-COVINGTON, a neural implementation of the Covington (2001) algorithm for non-projective dependency parsing. The bidirectional LSTM approach by Kiperwasser and Goldberg (2016) ...
    • Detecting Perspectives in Political Debates 

      Vilares, David; He, Yulan (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2017-09)
      [Abstract]: We explore how to detect people’s perspectives that occupy a certain proposition. We propose a Bayesian modelling approach where topics (or propositions) and their associated perspectives (or viewpoints) are ...
    • Increasing NLP Parsing Efficiency with Chunking 

      Anderson, Mark Dáibhidh; Vilares, David (M D P I AG, 2018-09-19)
      [Abstract] We introduce a “Chunk-and-Pass” parsing technique influenced by a psycholinguistic model, where linguistic information is processed not word-by-word but rather in larger chunks of words. We present preliminary ...
    • Parsing as Pretraining 

      Vilares, David; Strzyz, Michalina; Søgaard, Anders; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (2020)
      [Abstract] Recent analyses suggest that encoders pretrained for language modeling capture certain morpho-syntactic structure. However, probing frameworks for word vectors still do not report results on standard setups ...
    • Semantic Relation Extraction. Resources, Tools and Strategies 

      García, Marcos (Springer, 2016-07)
      [Abstract] Relation extraction is a subtask of information extraction that aims at obtaining instances of semantic relations present in texts. This information can be arranged in machine-readable formats, useful for several ...
    • Sentiment Analysis on Monolingual, Multilingual and Code-Switching Twitter Corpora 

      Vilares, David; Alonso, Miguel A.; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2015)
      [Abstract]: We address the problem of performing po- larity classification on Twitter over differ- ent languages, focusing on English and Spanish, comparing three techniques: (1) a monolingual model which knows ...
    • Sequence Tagging for Fast Dependency Parsing 

      Strzyz, Michalina; Vilares, David; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (2019)
      [Abstract] Dependency parsing has been built upon the idea of using parsing methods based on shift-reduce or graph-based algorithms in order to identify binary dependency relations between the words in a sentence. In this ...
