  1. The ILK Suite of Text Tools Antal van den Bosch ILK Research Group Faculty of Humanties, Tilburg University http://ilk.uvt.nl Political Mashup Meeting Amsterdam, March 19, 2008

  2. The ILK Text Tools • Text Quality Management • Text normalization • Spelling and grammar checking • Structured data cleaning • Text Mining • Entity recognition • Relation finding • Text Recommendation • Document recommendation • Expert recommendation

  3. ILK Text Tools Applications • Cultural Heritage • Historical texts: Royal Library, DBNL • Entity recognition: Naturalis field books • Structured data cleaning: Naturalis, Beeld & Geluid, Army Museum, Meertens • Service and media industries • Text mining: Textkernel B.V. • Recommendation: Trouw

  4. TICCL • Text-induced corpus cleanup • Martin Reynaert • Robust, scalable method for finding wordform variants • Sensitive to morphology and context • Knowledge-free Very large corpus indexes Dirty word list Linked word list

  5. TICCL • hartstochtelijk hartstochtelyk hartstochtelyke hartstochtlijk hartstochtlijke hartstochtlyk hartstogtelijk hartstogtelijke hartstogtelijks hartstogtelyk • wenkbrauwen wenkbraauwen wenkbraeuwen wenkbrauwen winkbraauwen wynbraauwen wynbrauwen • Nederland NEDERLANDEN Nederlan Nederland Nederlanden Nederlander Nederlandse Nederlandt Nederlandts Nederlandze Nederlansch Nederlanse Nederlant Nederlants Neederland Neerland Neerlands Neerlandts Neerlants Netherlands

  6. Other Text QM Tools • Knowledge-free, corpus-driven • Tokenization and sentence splitting • Grammar checking • All d/t/dt errors • gebeurd/gebeurt, word/wordt • Inflectional and derivational errors • Run-on/split detection • Word completion Dirty corpus Disambiguator Cleaner corpus

  7. MITCH: Mining Natural History • Piroska Lendvai, Marieke van Erp, Steve Hunt • Field books and registers describe objects in many valuable facets, • In ambiguous, elliptic language • In multiple languages • Describing animals, people, biotopes, geographical names, time expressions

  8. Cleaning and overhauling data Rhabdo-phis? ? Geophis Geophis? Actual value: Geophis Expected: Rhapdophis

  16. Entity detection in fieldbooks • Training on labeled examples • Easy: short, regular entities • Hard: longer textual descriptions • Metadata detection in description entities • Types of forest, soil, … in biotopes • Physical appearance, … in special comments • By automatically learning the “grammar” of these entities (ABL)

  17. Expert search Toine Bogers, A Propos project Two types Expert finding Expert profiling Evidence of expertise Content-based evidence Evidence from social networks Activity-based evidence Current results on academic workgroup Content-based not better than citation-base Number of citations just as good as PageRank “authorship = expertise”? not 100%

  18. Trouw Recommender • news article recommender for Trouw • recommend related stories for article posted online • editors provide feedback on recommendations • approved recommendations are automatically placed online

  19. Other ILK Text Tools • Translation • Memory-based, any pair of languages • Morpho-syntactic analysis: Tadpole • Part-of-speech tagging, lemmatization • Dependency parsing, 20 languages • Text-to-speech conversion • Dutch speech synthesizer: NeXTeNS • Word sense disambiguation, co-reference resolution, paraphrasing, named entity recognition.
