2. 1. Lexical and Acoustic Modelling of Swedish Prosody

   Author : Johan Frid; Fonetik; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; phonology; Phonetics; stress; dialects; Swedish; word accents; letter-to-sound; text-to-speech; modelling; intonation; prosody; speech technology; Fonetik; fonologi; Scandinavian languages and literature; Nordiska språk språk och litteratur ;

   Abstract : Prosody and intonation are very important ingredients of human speech. In speech technology, text-to-speech (TTS) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems must incorporate prosodic models in order to reach acceptable performances. READ MORE

4. 2. But What Do They Mean? : Modelling Contrast Between Speakers in Dialogue Signalled by “But”

   Author : Kavita Elisheba Thomas; Colin Matheson; Keith Stenning; Johanna Moore; Ivana Kruijff-Korbayova; University of Edinburgh; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; English dialogue; discourse markers; coherence relations;

   Abstract : Understanding what is being communicated in a dialogue involves determining how it is coherent, that is, how the successive turns in the dialogue are related, what the speakers’ intentions, goals, beliefs, and expectations are and how they relate to each other’s responses. This thesis aims to address how turns in dialogue are related when one speaker indicates contrast with something in the preceding discourse signalled by “but”. READ MORE

5. 3. Resources and Applications for Dialectal Arabic: the Case of Levantine

   Author : Chatrine (kathrein) Qwaider (abu kwaik); Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dialectal Arabic Natural Language Processing; Computational Linguistics; Dialect Identification; Sentiment Analysis; Machine Learning; Deep Learning; Language modelling; Natural Language processing;

   Abstract : This is a thesis about the computational study of Dialectal Arabic (DA). In particular, the thesis studies DA, with a special emphasis on Levantine Arabic, and develops tools and resources for the computational study of Dialectal Arabic Natural Language Processing (DANLP). READ MORE

6. 4. Languages, Logics, Types and Tools for Concurrent System Modelling

   Author : Ramūnas Gutkovas; Johannes Borgström; Björn Victor; Thomas T. Hildebrandt; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; process calculus; modal logic; session types; tool; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : A concurrent system is a computer system with components that run in parallel and interact with each other. Such systems are ubiquitous and are notably responsible for supporting the infrastructure for transport, commerce and entertainment. READ MORE

7. 5. Complexity and expressiveness for formal structures in Natural Language Processing

   Author : Petter Ericson; Henrik Björklund; Frank Drewes; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; graph grammars; formal languages; natural language processing; parameterized complexity; abstract meaning representation; tree automata; deterministic tree-walking transducers; mildly context-sensitive languages; hyperedge replacement; tree adjoining languages; minimally adequate teacher;

   Abstract : The formalized and algorithmic study of human language within the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has motivated much theoretical work in the related field of formal languages, in particular the subfields of grammar and automata theory. Motivated and informed by NLP, the papers in this thesis explore the connections between expressibility – that is, the ability for a formal system to define complex sets of objects – and algorithmic complexity – that is, the varying amount of effort required to analyse and utilise such systems.
