      Fernández-González, Daniel; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (Elsevier B.V., 2019-10)
      [Absctract]: An increasingly wide range of artificial intelligence applications rely on syntactic information to process and extract meaning from natural language text or speech, with constituent trees being one of the ...
    • How important is syntactic parsing accuracy? An empirical evaluation on rule-based sentiment analysis 

      Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos; Alonso-Alonso, Iago; Vilares, David (Springer, 2019)
      [Abstract]: Syntactic parsing, the process of obtaining the internal structure of sentences in natural languages, is a crucial task for artificial intelligence applications that need to extract meaning from natural language ...
    • Intelligent retrieval for biodiversity 

      Vilares Ferro, Manuel; Fernández, Milagros; Blanco, Adrián; Gómez-Rodríguez, Carlos (2016-02)
      [Abstract] A knowledge discovery and representation frame to mine contents in systems biology is described. It applies natural language processing to integrate linguistic and domain knowledge in a mathematical model for ...
    • Multidimensional Affective Analysis for Low-Resource Languages: A Use Case with Guarani-Spanish Code-Switching Language 

      Agüero-Torales, Marvin M.; López-Herrera, Antonio G.; Vilares, David (Springer, 2023)
