Séminaires RALI-OLST-ILFC
Les mercredis à 11 h 30 (heure de Montréal), nous tenons un séminaire d'une heure portant sur un sujet du traitement des langues ou de linguistique. Il est typiquement offert en mode hybride (présentiel & vidéoconférence). Une fois par mois, le séminaire est organisé par le groupe de recherche français Linguistique Informatique, Formelle et de Terrain.
Evaluation and reuse of NLP tools for minority and under-resourced languages
Antonio Pareja-Lora et Marcelo-Yuji Himoro (antonio (point) parejal <at> uah (point) es)
Université d'Alcala, Espagne
Wednesday 13 May 2026 at 11:30 AM
Salle C-9019, Pavillon Lionel-Groulx — En présentiel, avec diffusion simultanée sur Zoom
In this seminar, Dr. Pareja-Lora will present some joint research carried out with his PhD student, Marcelo-Yuji Himoro, about the processing of different languages or varieties of minority and/or under-resourced (macro)languages, mainly focusing on Quechua and Aymara. So far, the goal of this research has been to evaluate and find ways to reuse already existing natural language processing (NLP) tools (e.g., morphological analyzers and POS taggers), originally created for a given variety of these languages (or, in other terms, a given language of the macrolanguage), to process a different variety or language of the same family of languages. Thus, in this seminar it will be shown the different problems and issues found when these NLP tools have been evaluated and how this ongoing research is proceeding nowadays.
Biography — Antonio Pareja-Lora got a PhD in Computer Science and Artifical Intelligence from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) in 2012. He is an Associate Professor (Profesor Titular de Universidad) at the Departamento de Filología Moderna (Modern Philology Department), of the Universidad de Alcalá (UAH). His research interests focus on (1) natural language processing; (2) the linguistic and/or ontological annotation and the ontological representation of linguistic phenomena, data categories and relations; (3) linguistic linked-data; (4) computer engineering applied to terminology and translation; (5) technology-enhanced language learning (TELL: CALL, MALL, LMOOCs, etc.).
