This paper explores the effectiveness of two types of transformer models — large generative models and sequence-to-sequence models — for automatically post-correcting Optical Character Recognition (OCR) output in early modern Dutch plays. To address the need for optimally aligned data, we create a p…
Event Coreference Resolution remains a challenging discourse-oriented task within the domain of Natural Language Processing. In this paper we propose a methodology where we combine traditional mention-pair coreference models with a lightweight and modular graph reconstruction algorithm. We show that…
In this paper, we examine the recognition of irony by both humans and automatic systems. We achieve this by enhancing the annotations of an English benchmark data set for irony detection. This enhancement involves a layer of human-annotated irony likelihood using a 7-point Likert scale that combines…
In online domain-specific customer service applications, many companies struggle to deploy advanced NLP models successfully, due to the limited availability of and noise in their datasets. While prior research demonstrated the potential of migrating large open-domain pretrained models for domain-spe…
