  1. 1. Syntax-based Concept Alignment for Machine Translation

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Arianna Masciolini; [2023-03-30]
    Keywords : computational linguistic; machine translation; concept alignment; syntax; dependency parsing; Universal Dependencies; Grammatical Framework;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a syntax-based approach to Concept Alignment (CA), the task of finding semantical correspondences between parts of multilingual parallel texts, with a focus on Machine Translation (MT). Two variants of CA are taken into account: Concept Extraction (CE), whose aim is to identify new concepts by means of mere linguistic comparison, and Concept Propagation (CP), which consists in looking for the translation equivalents of a set of known concepts in a new language.

  6. 5. Decoding communication of non-human species - Unsupervised machine learning to infer syntactical and temporal patterns in fruit-bats vocalizations.

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

    Author : Luigi Assom; [2023]
    Keywords : animal decision making; unsupervised machine learning; UMAP; autoencoders; classifiers; bioacoustics; combinatory syntax; animal communication;

    Abstract : Decoding non-human species communication offers a unique chance to explore alternative intelligence forms using machine learning.
