Constraint Grammar is a hand-crafted Transformer

Syvät neuroverkot (DNN) ja lingvistiset säännöt ovat tällä hetkellä luonnollisen kielen käsittelyteknologioiden ääripäitä. Aina viime aikoihin asti on ollut epäselvää kuinka näitä teknologioita voitaisiin yhdistää. Sen vuoksi näitä teknologioita on tutkittu lähes täysin toisistaan erillään olevissa tutkimusyhteisöissä. Muistutan tässä artikkelissa ensimmäiseksi siitä että sekä sekä Rajoitekieliopilla (CG) että tavallisilla rekurrenteilla neuroverkoilla (RNN) on äärellistilaisia ominaisuuksia. Sitten suhteutan CG:n Google Transformer-arkkitehtuuriin (jossa käytetään kahdenlaista attention-mekanismia) sekä argumentoin, että näiden näennäisesti toisistaan riippumattomien arkkitehtuurien välillä on merkittäviä samankaltaisuuksia.Deep neural networks (DNN) and linguistic rules are currently the opposite ends in the scale for NLP technologies. Until recently, it has not been known how to combine these technologies most effectively. Therefore, the technologies have been the object of almost disjoint research communities. In this presentation, I first recall that both Constraint Grammar (CG) and vanilla RNNs have finite-state properties. Then I relate CG to Google’s Transformer architecture (with two kinds of attention) and argue that there are significant similarities between these two seemingly unrelated architectures.Peer reviewe

Creation of Shared Language Resource Repository in the Nordic and Baltic Countries

Proceeding volume: 8The META-NORD project has contributed to an open infrastructure for language resources (data and tools) under the META-NET umbrella. This paper presents the key objectives of META-NORD and reports on the results achieved in the first year of the project. META-NORD has mapped and described the national language technology landscape in the Nordic and Baltic countries in terms of language use, language technology and resources, main actors in the academy, industry, government and society; identified and collected the first batch of language resources in the Nordic and Baltic countries; documented, processed, linked, and upgraded the identified language resources to agreed standards and guidelines. The three horizontal multilingual actions in META-NORD are overviewed in this paper: linking and validating Nordic and Baltic wordnets, the harmonisation of multilingual Nordic and Baltic treebanks, and consolidating multilingual terminology resources across European countries. This paper also touches upon intellectual property rights for the sharing of language resources.Peer reviewe
