The TreeTagger is a tool for annotating text with part-of-speech and lemma information. It was developed by Helmut Schmid in the TC project at the Institute for Computational Linguistics of the University of Stuttgart. In the realm of natural language processing (NLP), part-of-speech (POS) tagging serves as a fundamental component that facilitates various linguistic analyses,…

Introduction The internet is a vast ocean of information, but much of it exists in isolated islands. We find websites, databases, and documents brimming with valuable data, but often these resources struggle to communicate with each other. This is where Linked Data steps in, offering a revolutionary approach to data management and information access. What…

Introduction Language modelling is a fundamental aspect of natural language processing (NLP) that aims to predict the likelihood of a sequence of words appearing in a sentence. This paper provides an overview of language modelling, exploring its history, methodologies, challenges, and applications. We discuss various models ranging from traditional n-gram approaches to modern neural architectures,…

Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) promises a future brimming with interconnected devices, generating a torrent of data from every corner of our lives. From smart homes and wearable technology to industrial sensors and connected vehicles, the sheer volume and variety of information are staggering. But data without context is just noise. This is where…

Introduction In today’s increasingly interconnected digital world, the challenge of sharing and using data effectively is paramount. Different systems and organizations often use varying formats, terminologies, and structures, leading to data silos and hindering interoperability. This is where the powerful combination of Semantic Interoperability and Linked Open Data (LOD) comes into play. The Problem: The Struggle for Data Understanding…

Introduction Bridging the Linguistic Divide: The Challenge and Promise of In our increasingly interconnected world, language barriers remain a significant obstacle to communication and collaboration. While powerful machine translation systems have made significant strides, they often struggle to accurately translate languages with limited data – the so-called “low-resource languages.” This poses a critical challenge, particularly…

Introduction In today’s hyper-connected world, news spreads faster than ever, often via a quick share on social media. But this rapid dissemination comes with a dark side: the proliferation of fake news. These fabricated stories, often designed to mislead and manipulate, can have serious consequences, from swaying public opinion to inciting real-world harm. Fortunately, artificial…

Introduction In an increasingly interconnected world, the ability to communicate effectively across language barriers is more crucial than ever. While machine translation has made remarkable strides, achieving truly accurate and nuanced translation has remained a significant challenge. Traditional machine translation often struggles with ambiguity, idioms, and cultural subtleties, leading to awkward or even incorrect translations.…

Introduction For decades, translation has been largely synonymous with converting written text from one language to another. But the world isn’t just made of words. We communicate using a rich tapestry of signals, weaving together spoken language, images, gestures, and more. That’s why the cutting edge of translation technology is moving beyond the written word…

Introduction Vlogging has exploded. From travel diaries to tech reviews, educational tutorials to hilarious skits, the video landscape is more vibrant than ever. But with so much content vying for attention, standing out and connecting with your audience is harder than ever. Enter the secret weapon: Natural Language Processing (NLP). NLP, the field of computer science…

Space, Time, characters, events, causation and relationships are things that we expect to encounter in the study of the physical world, but the work of theoretical linguists has shown that these concepts also figure in the grammar of human language; explicitly and formally, in syntactic and semantic representations (Carol Tenny). In linguistics, a grammatical gender…
