Italian Event Detection Goes Deep Learning
This paper reports on a set of experiments with different word embeddings to
initialize a state-of-the-art Bi-LSTM-CRF network for event detection and
classification in Italian, following the EVENTI evaluation exercise. The net-
work obtains a new state-of-the-art result by improving the F1 score for
detection of 1.3 points, and of 6.5 points for classification, by using a
single step approach. The results also provide further evidence that embeddings
have a major impact on the performance of such architectures.Comment: to appear at CLiC-it 201
Proceedings of the Fifth Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics CLiC-it 2018
On behalf of the Program Committee, a very warm welcome to the Fifth Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics (CLiC-Āāit 2018). This edition of the conference is held in Torino. The conference is locally organised by the University of Torino and hosted into its prestigious main lecture hall āCavallerizza Realeā. The CLiC-Āāit conference series is an initiative of the Italian Association for Computational Linguistics (AILC) which, after five years of activity, has clearly established itself as the premier national forum for research and development in the fields of Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing, where leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry meet to share their research results, experiences, and challenges
