Dear <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family:
"Calibri","sans-serif";">colleagues</span>,<br>
we are happy to announce a new release of the <a
href="http://aclasb.dfki.de">ACL Anthology Searchbench</a>, a
public service that combines sentence-semantic, full-text and
bibliographic search in the ACL Anthology (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://take.dfki.de/#Systems">http://take.dfki.de/#Systems</a>).<br>
<br>
<b>New highlights</b> (your feedback via the button at the left
bottom of the Searchbench start page is appreciated!):<br>
<br>
The Searchbench now indexes over 22,500 CL & LT papers including
the so far missing journal articles and conferences from 2011, past
LREC proceedings from 2000--2010, and many more.<br>
<br>
From now on, we'll be able to update the index shortly after new
papers have been added to the ACL Anthology. <br>
<br>
<b>Graphical citation browser</b>.<br>
In the Citations tab in the Searchbench's document view, there is
now a graphical citation browser (<a
href="http://aclasb.dfki.de/CitationBrowser.html#id=W11-2927">sample
link</a>, full HD screen recommended ;-) ). It uses ParsCit, ACL
Anthology Network data and sentence information from the
Searchbench. You can click on the labeled edges or right mouse
button on the document nodes to see the citation sentences in
context and highlight them in PDF. A tentative link to external
public scientific search services is generated in case a cited paper
or book is not in the Anthology.<br>
<br>
<b>Bibliographic metadata</b>.<br>
At the same place (from the Citations tab), you can also inspect and
copy bibliographic metadata for each Anthology paper<br>
- in rich text (roughly ACL citation style), and <br>
- as bibtex with mostly correct LaTeX character encoding<br>
(<a href="http://aclasb.dfki.de/nlp/bib/J11-3002">example</a>).
Because bibtex is missing for many papers in the Anthology, we
generated it from the Anthology index files.<br>
Page numbers were taken automatically from the paper layout where
possible, e.g. for many CL journal articles.<br>
We are collaborating with the other groups working on the Anthology
and hope to be able to provide even more complete and corrected
metadata later.<br>
<br>
<b>Online glossary extraction</b>.<br>
You could use the Searchbench as an online <b>glossary extraction
tool</b>. Simply try a semantic statements query of the form
s:<term> p:is -- example: <a
href="http://aclasb.dfki.de/#stm%7EsNC%7Cs%3Adependency%20parsing%20p%3Ais%2A">dependency
parsing</a>).<br>
<br>
<b>ACL-2012 Contributed Task</b>.<br>
Finally, let us draw your attention to the <b><a
href="http://translit.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/r50/taskintro/">Contributed
Task</a> </b>that is part of the <a
href="http://translit.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/r50/">ACL-2012 Special
Workhop</a>. <br>
We provide the Searchbench's paperxml data for this. The goal of the
Contributed Task is to generate improved, high quality rich text
(XML) versions of all Anthology papers as a free corpus for further
research, e.g. in summarization, parsing, citation analysis, etc.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Ulrich and Christian<br>
