Invited Talk’s Abstract :
In this talk, we will describe the development of the UCREL Semantic Analysis
System (USAS) and how it can be used to automatically annotate text with
semantic fields, applying contextually appropriate labels with a high degree
of accuracy to not just words but multiword expressions. We will describe the
initial manual development of the linguistic resources (semantic lexicons and
associated context rules) and the semantic tagger (and disambiguation methods)
for English in the 1990s. Then, we will illustrate how the USAS framework has
expanded over the last 30 years to incorporate 12+ languages and describe
methods to automatically bootstrap linguistic resources when adding new
languages. Bringing the research up to date, we will present the latest
version of pymusas (https://pypi.org/project/pymusas &
https://ucrel.github.io/pymusas), a Python open source extensible framework,
to allow researchers to annotate multiple languages and flexibly apply a
growing set of methods for semantic annotation, along with a development
roadmap and an example to illustrate how to add new languages such as Korean.
Finally, we will motivate all this research and development effort by
showcasing a variety of applications for semantic tagging, incorporating
metaphor analysis via Wmatrix, qualitative survey analysis, political
discourse analysis, and language profiling for applications in forensic
linguistics.
