4 Vlastislav Dohnal xdohnal@fi.muni.cz 3 Approximate Searching in Large Collections of Text Data Text - information retrieval 4_Vlastislav_Dohnal_abstract.txt Hanks Patrick    Jaroslava Hlavacova  I would prefer to include the definition of the D-index, which appears to be the key term of the paper, to the definition of such a common thing as metric space. Without it I couldn't understand the section 3 of the article. Also the basic school artithmetic ("... a sequential search on 50,000 sentences takes about 5 minutes, which would result in a half an hour for a 6 times larger file of 300,000 sentences.") is not necessary to put into article. The definition of "edit transformation" seems to be not complete - I miss the relationship between the strings X, Y and the sequence S (probably X=S1, Y=Sn ?)

5 Ilya Oparin Ulysses@io8176.spb.edu 3 Differences in the Stability of Russian and Greek Speech Signal towards Noise Effects Speech - other 5_Ilya_Oparin_abstract.txt Josef Psutka  Interesting theme. But performed experiments are described very slightly and it is not evident if obtained results can be generalized. Experiments with Greek were executed under different conditions and can be only roughly compared with those done for Russian.   Leon Rothkrantz  -The authors want to report about 4 problems in one paper, the work seems very preliminary -the use of statistics is not sufficient, the experimental design is very poor -the researchers choose sentences, instead of isolated words, but then there is a great mpact of context -Greek people living most of the time in petersburg or in Patras are in more then one aspect very different, it is not clear why the greek language is considered and why the reserachers don't restrick themselves to the Russian language -the paper has no literature survey and no results from others are reported   Reject 5_Ilya_Oparin.pdf

So maybe you should consider an appropriate cha= nge of the title. The morphological analyzer of Latvian is, in addition, obviously only in = a very initial state. Accordingly, the paper presents interesting problem= s rather than solutions to them. =20 The section on XML and statistics report on a "research started only mont= h ago" (quoted form the paper) or "some attempts". I am afraid this is sl= ightly less than I would expect for TSD conference. In addition, this is in contrast with the statement that computer-aided i= nvestigation of Latvian started already in 1990. So I guess there must be= a lot of work completed, but this is somehow not mirrorred in the paper,= unfortunately. It would be also better if the Latvian examples had more complete English= translations. As for English, correct:  Reject   8_Kristîne_Levâne.ps

10 Jesús Vilares alonso@udc.es 5 Practical NLP-Based Text Indexing Text - information retrieval 10_Jesús_Vilares_abstract.txt Vladimir Petkevic  The complex task you tackle needs other methods. For instance: HMM tagger is totally inadequate for Spanish (as for many other languages!). You should develop a rule-based tagger reflecting the system of Spanish and you need a big corpus. Without these two prerequisites you can hardly achieve good results. No substantial results are presented. You can hardly claim that your architecture is generally good enough so as to be applicable to other languages - this sounds very courageously (see the last sentence in the 1st par., page 7). You'd improve your English! There seem to be no new ideas with respect to existing methods in NLP.   Yorick Wilks      Reject   10_Jesús_Vilares.ps

14 Pavel Květoň and Karel Oliva kareloliva@hotmail.com 2 Achieving an Almost Correct PoS-Tagged Corpus Text - parsing and part-of-speech tagging 14_Pavel_Kveton_abstract.txt Eva Hajicova  The core idea of this paper is interesting and certainly valuable. However, there are two places in the paper the authors should reconsider: (a) pages 1 through 2 incl. are rather 'talkative' (Sections 0 through 3) and in some places repeat trivial considerations); they may be shortende, made more factual and thus save place for a more explicit (and exemplified) exposition in the following sections. (b) in Section 4the results should be formulated more carefully and explicitly, since it is only the collocation "within the test sections" that indicates that the authors are not so naive as to use the same data for training and testing! the present wording would make the whole experiment dubious.   Hanks Patrick    LP   14_Pavel_Kveton.ps

But then many subwords models have to be trained and a huge number of data is necessary.

23 Dana Hlavackova rsedlac@fi.muni.cz 2 Morphological Tagging of the Brno Spoken Corpus Text - text corpora 23_Dana_Hlavackova_abstract.txt Karel Oliva  It seems to me that there occurs quite a strong tension between the title= of the paper (Morphological tagging ....) and its contents: there is a l= ot of information about the corpus of spoken Czech, but virtually *nothin= g* about how the tagging is performed (and there is no hint even in the R= eferences). The *only* information a reader gets is that your tagging is somewhere be= tween 60% and 70% correct (once you say 60, once 70). But there is nothin= g about the method, about how the results were measured ... Also, I missed any information about your contribution: is it you who col= lected the data ? Is it you who annotated parts of them / invented and te= sted some new tagging method ... You should either change the contents of the paper accordingly (and profo= undly) or change the title, hence.   Vladimir Petkevic  The article is very short and not interesting, its is poor in content. It only sketchily describes the whole subject with no interesting ideas presented. The reported results are poor (also due to the complexity of the problem). The approach should have been described in a more detailed way, it should have concentrated on interesting aspects and report the results more thoroughly with the discussion of problems encountered.   Reject   23_Dana_Hlavackova.ps

There has also been earlier and more profound work on dialogue acts and speech recognition. If I interpret your numbers on page 5 correctly, then in 194 dialogs only 174 system turns were uttered? This does not make sense! Please clarify what number is Type and what is Token Look at: M. Boros, W. Eckert, F. Gallwitz, G. Görz, G. Hanrieder, and H. Niemann. Towards understanding spontaneous speech: Word accuracy vs. Concept accuracy. In Proc. Int. Conf. on Spoken Language Processing, volume 2, pages 1005-1008, Philadelphia, PA, USA, 1996. where - rather than on the speech act level - a system accuracy of a train information system is calculated on the level of semantic entities. May be that is more appropriate.

In the paper an iteresting new approach is presented. But the paper has to minor points First the authors don't relate their work to the work of others, they even don't mention similar approaches by other (only Vintsiuk) Seconly it would be nice to compare the test results with wellknown segmentationalgorithm, so to implment both and test it on the same corpus Thirdly I don't see why the testresuts are not compared with mauasegmentation. Take for example the TIMIT database which is segmented and apply the new segmentationalgoritm on that database (I presume that the proposed algorthm is language independent on the voiced part of the speech Automatic selection of voiced part ofspechca be realised by autocorrelation methods.   E.G.

I am sure your paper would be unconditionally accepted if you presented real evaluation and demonstrated real improvement on the unseen data. Also, your paper definitely needs proof-reading by someone with good knowledge of English. Some words look like written in French (and some even _are_ written in French). Title: consider removing "A": "Gibbsian..." Author: Where is Footnote 1? Address: Suisse = Switzerland? Please use Englihs! Consider the following changes: Abstract:   Karel Oliva  The paper puts forward an interesting discussion on an alternative to PCFG, and above all proposes such an alternative. Generally, the submission seems a little bit premature - it woudl be definitely nicer if you were able to give more evaluation as well as could report on the results of the work you say you only plan. Then the paper would be truly excellent. So I consider the contents of the paper very good - what is the problem is the language. If accepted you DEFINITELY have to turn the Franglais into real English !!!

In fact, exactly the same concept (aka "semantic repre= sentation") has been proposed already in the first papers presenting Defi= nite Clause Grammars about 20 years ago. Apart from this general view, some minor points: - whether assigning one or several formalized semantic representations is= "An absolutely central problem of semantics" is a matter of personal vie= w. Maybe a slightly less radical formulation might be due.  Vladimir Petkevic  The extraction of information content is an extremely complex task and I think your approach, as far I could understand it, can hardly work for only slightly more complex sentences than the one you presented. The overall approach is, to my mind, very naive and can hardly have significance which surpasses the realm of only the simplest sentence structures. I do not claim, however, to be an expert in the area. Your English should be better - for instance, the 1st sentence in the abstract is syntactically wrong. Your presentation, esp. the trees are almost illegible.   Reject   59_Gregers_Koch.ps

But all features are equal but some of them are more equal. So maybe it is possible to compute frequencies of the features and do the experiments with the most important features. It is also interesting to know the distribution of the feature set over the different corpora and the different testset.

All modules must be next to perfect to perform the task in a relatively satisfactory way. Your description is very general and the whole approach is very naive. For instance, if your POS tagger within analysis of the input language will be bad you can hardly get good results on output. If the quality of the parser is, as you say, very unsatisfactory, why do you describe the whole system because it simply can't work. Some results are presented but they are very bad (eg. 86 % tagger accuracy). The whole method is generally relatively sound but the individual components seem to be designed in a very naive way.

The paper is just an interesting essay, however, it does not seem to offer any applicable results that could be somehow exploited in the field of NLP.

Apart form that, you also report creating a small tagged corpus of Classi= cal Chinese. To start with the last, I am slightly afraid that a training corpus of 1.= 000 words (i.e. about 50 sentences) is really TOO small to provide any si= gnificant results. The same holds for your test corpus - 200 words, i.e. about 10 sentences. I dare say that no really representative results can be achieved with thi= s size of corpora. Aport form that, you say you "present simple-yet-effective methods to han= dle the problems (which occur due to the difference of Classical Chinese = from Indoeropean languages)". These methods, however, as a rule turn to be nothing novel but just simpl= ification of the standardly used techniques (e.g., you use simple bigrams= instead of smoothing trigrams). In this respect, it seems that the paper poses interesting problems but d= oes not present clear answers, neither in theory nor in technology, For these reasons, I would propose the paper (if accepted) to be presente= d rather as a poster than as a full paper.   LP 115_Liang_HUANG.pdf

It would be adequate to depict some of the techniques in a more detailed way. However, I am not sure that the topic is crucially relevant for the conference. Some (statictical) results and techniques and at least a slightly (I know that the limit is 8 pages at most!) deeper analysis of a certain literary period should also have been shown instead of 2 pages consisting of significant Russian adjectives and nouns.   Reject   116_Gregory_Martynenko.ps

Bolshakov gelbukh@cic.ipn.mx 2 Word Combinations as an Important Part of Modern Electronic Dictionaries Text - lexical semantics and semantic networks 120_Igor_A._Bolshakov_abstract.txt Ivan Kopecek    Eneko Agirre  The goal of the paper is not clearly stated. The writing is rather awkward, making use of the special terminology used by Melcuk. If I understood the main point is to argue that some hand labor is required to code idioms, terms and collocations in a lexicon. A fact that nobody can argue. It seems that the authors also claim that it is a feasible task, but no hard data is provided.   Reject   120_Igor_A._Bolshakov.ps       
121 Alexander Gelbukh gelbukh@cic.ipn.mx 2 A Method for Development of Automatic Morphological Analysis Systems for Inflective Languages Text - automatic morphology 121_Alexander_Gelbukh_abstract.txt Eneko Agirre  Interesting method for avoiding problematic morphological analysis. Unfortunately there is no evaluation of the method: does it work 100% correct for known words? 100% for unknown words? How does it compare to other systems for russian? Other comments: - section 2: an example of stem alternation should be provided at the beginning - section 2.5: the example for stopping is not very clear. In step 3 you check the potential stem stopp in the dictionary. Is stopp in the dictionary? Is stopp one of those stem alternations generated in the generation phase?   Eva Hajicova  The paper makes an impression that the authros are not acquainted with the more recent literature on the subject matter, and in addition, they do not make the right sense of the literature they do know (at least that they quote). Analysis by synthesis make be 'recent' in AI literature, but is very traditional n computational linguistics. In the domai the authors want to apply this approach, I am afraid that it might bring an undesirable increase of processing time. Remark to point 2 in Sect. 2.5: there may be more than one set of grammemes for the mentioned inflectional ending (-ing: writing may be a noun or a verb, or at least two verbal forms: nominalization and verbal participle) .One positive thing is the extensive use of the most invaluable Zaliznjak's dictionary.   Reject   121_Alexander_Gelbukh.ps

The only novelty is to use a small sample of training data to choose the best combination. - section 2: in general it is not always clear when it is the near-synonymy entry, and when the WordNet entry. - the last sentence of the first paragraph in section 2.1 does not add anything. - 2.3: it is not clear what is it that you intersect - 2.6: when talking about the 904 datapoints a reference should be made to section 4 - 3: there is no mention to what is accuracy, and which is the coverage. this point is clarified later in section 6. - 3: I think that it should be stressed that you measure each sense independently. This makes comparison difficult to systems which measure accuracy in the Senseval way. - 3: do all algorithms return always an answer for each sense? - 4: data on the ambiguity on the gold standard (around 450 senses for 282 near-synonyms) - 5: the comparison with the Lesk algorithm is not fair, the simple lesk algorithm gets very low results. - 5: the way to calculate precision and coverage in Senseval is different. refer to their web page.   Karel Oliva    Reject   124_Diana_Zaiu_Inkpen.ps

132 Karel Pala glum@fi.muni.cz 2 A Procedure for the Semiautomatic Building of Consistent Dictionary Definitions Text - other 132_Karel_Pala_abstract.txt Eneko Agirre  Interesting work. The relation of the goals of the paper and the experiments is not very clear. I think the goals of the paper should be better stated to reflect the experiments. For instance: - is the goal of the automatic analysis of dictionary definitions to enrich WN? - is the goal of the analysis to construct proper definitions for WN? - is it a paper on the relation between human definitions and relations in LKBs? - There is a lack to references in the area of automatic analysis of definitions in dictionaries (Amsler, 81; Vossen, 89; Agirre et. al, 2000 in Euralex for a recent paper with more references). - section 3: I don't think the data confirms that the definitions give always a genus. Some of the most frequent head nouns are who, sort, part. In the examples in the 4th page we can find "a piece of, a set of, a person who". These have been traditionally taken as specific relators in opposition to genus+differentia definitions. - section 3: what is the meaning of 1st file in figure 1. - section 3: is there any measure of evaluation of the results of the syntactic analysis (accuracy, coverage) - Finally some sentences are too long, and somewhat awkward to understand.   Eduard Hovy      Reject   132_Karel_Pala.ps
