    Negation constitutes a challenging phenomenon for many natural language processing tasks, such as sentiment analysis (SA). In this paper we investigate the relationship between negation and sentiment in the context of ...
  • Rønningstad, Egil; Velldal, Erik; Øvrelid, Lilja (Chapter / Bokkapittel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2024)
    We investigate annotator variation for the novel task of Entity-Level Sentiment Analysis (ELSA) which annotates the aggregated sentiment directed towards volitional entities in a text. More specifically, we analyze the ...
  • Buljan, Maja; Nivre, Joakim; Oepen, Stephan; Øvrelid, Lilja (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    Abstract We discuss methodological choices in diagnostic evaluation and error analysis in meaning representation parsing (MRP), i.e. mapping from natural language utterances to graph-based encodings of semantic structure. ...
  • Buljan, Maja; Nivre, Joakim; Oepen, Stephan; Øvrelid, Lilja (Chapter / Bokkapittel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    We discuss methodological choices in contrastive and diagnostic evaluation in meaning representation parsing, i.e. mapping from natural language utterances to graph-based encodings of its semantic structure. Drawing ...
  • Mæhlum, Petter; Barnes, Jeremy Claude; Øvrelid, Lilja; Velldal, Erik (Chapter / Bokkapittel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    This paper documents the creation of a large-scale dataset of evaluative sentences – i.e. both subjective and objective sentences that are found to be sentiment-bearing – based on mixed-domain professional reviews from ...
  • Kutuzov, Andrei; Øvrelid, Lilja; Szymanski, Terrence; Velldal, Erik (Chapter / Bokkapittel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2018)
    Recent years have witnessed a surge of publications aimed at tracing temporal changes in lexical semantics using distributional methods, particularly prediction-based word embedding models. However, this vein of research ...
  • Hussiny, Mohammad Ali; Øvrelid, Lilja (Chapter / Bokkapittel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    This paper introduces the first emotion-annotated dataset for the Dari variant of Persian spoken in Afghanistan. The LetHerLearn dataset contains 7,600 tweets posted in reaction to the Taliban’s ban of women’s rights to ...
  • Rønningstad, Egil; Øvrelid, Lilja; Velldal, Erik (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    This paper explores the task of identifying the overall sentiment expressed towards volitional entities (persons and organizations) in a document - what we refer to as Entity-Level Sentiment Analysis (ELSA). While identifying ...
  • Lien, Jostein; Velldal, Erik; Øvrelid, Lilja (Chapter / Bokkapittel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)
    This paper describes a semi-supervised approach to improving statistical dependency parsing using dependency-based word clusters. After applying a baseline parser to unlabeled text, clusters are induced using K-means with ...
  • Velldal, Erik; Øvrelid, Lilja; Hohle, Petter (Chapter / Bokkapittel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)
    This paper investigates interactions in parser performance for the two official standards for written Norwegian: Bokmål and Nynorsk. We demonstrate that while applying models across standards yields poor performance, ...
  • You, Huiling; Touileb, Samia; Øvrelid, Lilja (Chapter / Bokkapittel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    We propose a graph-based event extraction framework JSEEGraph that approaches the task of event extraction as general graph parsing in the tradition of Meaning Representation Parsing. It explicitly encodes entities and ...
  • Barnes, Jeremy Claude; Touileb, Samia; Øvrelid, Lilja; Velldal, Erik (Chapter / Bokkapittel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2019)
    This paper explores the use of multi-task learning (MTL) for incorporating external knowledge in neural models. Specifically, we show how MTL can enable a BiLSTM sentiment classifier to incorporate information from sentiment ...
  • Touileb, Samia; Øvrelid, Lilja; Velldal, Erik (Chapter / Bokkapittel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    We investigate in this paper how distributions of occupations with respect to gender is reflected in pre-trained language models. Such distributions are not always aligned to normative ideals, nor do they necessarily reflect ...
  • Mæhlum, Petter; Haug, Dag Trygve Truslew; Jørgensen, Tollef Emil; Kåsen, Andre; Nøklestad, Anders; Rønningstad, Egil; Solberg, Per Erik; Velldal, Erik; Øvrelid, Lilja (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / AcceptedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    Published in: Proceedings of the Fifth Workshop on Computational Models of Reference, Anaphora and Coreference (CRAC): https://aclanthology.org/venues/coling/. We present the Norwegian Anaphora Resolution Corpus (NARC), ...
  • Dahl, Fredrik A.; Rama, Taraka; Hurlen, Petter; Brekke, Pål H.; Husby, Haldor; Gundersen, Tore; Nytrø, Øystein; Øvrelid, Lilja (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    Background With a motivation of quality assurance, machine learning techniques were trained to classify Norwegian radiology reports of paediatric CT examinations according to their description of abnormal ...
