Who uses OpenWordNet-PT?

I have been guilty of not knowing exactly who's using the OpenWordNet-PT (our Portuguese wordnet) and for what, so I decided to write this blog post, which intends to be (some day) a bibliography of work using/citing OWN-PT, when I eventually get it done.

I am using Google Scholar for this laundry list, so it comes in order of more citations, not the year of publication. And I removed our own work, as I think it needs to be in a separate laundry list. Of course, what is our own work is a bit debatable. It is not simply about who are the authors, but whether the work is about lexicography/lexical resources or not, I think.

Of course, I have not read all the papers below. Yet. So there might be some that are repeated (I tried to avoid it, though) and some that only cite the OWN-PT to say `one shouldn't touch with a barge pole'. But still, I think I should read them all.

Google tells me that we have 75 citations now (Dec 2018). As usual, many are from our own work and many are counted twice, and 45 papers to read seems a task hard enough. Anyways, many of the papers below have Hugo G. Oliveira as an author, many thanks, Hugo!

Thanksgiving Break

The madness of the holidays is about to hit us. Where did the year  go?

Sure, there was a lot of travelling this year. In May we went to Oslo, in June we went to New Orleans for NAACL, in  July we were in Oxford for WiL/NLCS/Linearity as part of FLoC, in August I was in Brazil for the associated ICM meeting and in September I was in Luxembourg for the Logic AI Summit. phew! Nuance only gives me one paid conference a year, but I managed to ask them to pay for  the most expensive plane ticket (Oxford), and the most expensive registration fees (NAACL), and all was good.

So lots of talking, not so much writing. Thus when Lyn and Steve were visiting last Sunday and Steve was asking about my theory that writing papers should be just like shipping code (you just do it, no matter how bad the code is, the next week you correct it), I had to confess that the theory wasn't working very well, recently. You see, the theory requires collaborators also happy to take a dive in their reputations, in a bid to get readers... oh well, we do what we can.

But life intervenes and many of  the so-called small stuff can take a lot of time and disposition. Like totalling the car on the way to the airport. It was the best accident that someone could have had: the car was completely destroyed and I will confess that I thought this was it, the end of the film for me. Maybe this is what everyone who has an airbag explode on them thinks. Anyways two days later I was again in the same spot, in an uber to the airport, going to Luxembourg. And Dick even managed to make his original flight to Nebraska, yay! but it did leave a bitter taste in my mouth. Am I living my life right?  Have I got all my papers in order? What should I be doing instead? Hence this post with the picture of the car, so that I don't forget...

Vardi's "How We Lost the Women in Computing"

A bit old by now, but  relevant still.

Moshe Vardi is a  Professor of Computer Science at Rice University, United States, who specializes in Databases. He's also a long time friend. He just penned this for the Communications of the ACM Magazine, of which he was Editor-in-Chief for quite a few years.

A busy summer

This post was written a while back, but never published..

My first NAACL-HLT

 

So I was impressed by the amount of interesting work I saw at NAACL this year. This was my first NAACL-HLT, but I have done quite a bit of reviewing this year (for ACL and  Coling), so it was clear that  there was a lot to hear in New Orleans.

I went because I wanted to talk to my young collaborators, Katerina Kalouli and Livy Real, who were presenting work, related to our  joint work.

Livy presented  work on creating a version of the SICK corpus in Portuguese as a poster in the workshop Widening NLP. The program in http://www.winlp.org/winlp-2018-workshop/accepted-papers/   says

• Building a NLI Corpus for PortugueseLivy Real, Valeria dePaiva, Bruno Guide, Bruna Thalenberg, Cindy Silva, Guilherme Oliveira Lima, Ana Rodrigues, Beatriz Albiero, Rodrigo Souza and Igor de Camargo e Souza Câmara

 Katerina and Dick Crouch presented work on GKR: the Graphical Knowledge Representation for semantic parsing and Named Graphs for Semantic Representation. This very interesting work is related to some of my work on KIML (Knowledge and Information Management Logic).

I have met and talked to several people that I hadn't seen in years, which was nice, and New Orleans was amazing! I also met Ben van Durme, from John Hopkins University NLP group, for the  first time. Finally my friend Marilyn Walker was the overall chair person of the conference, which was also very nice.

 

Anniversary!!!

Time flies. Looking at the program of the logic conference SBL - Brazilian Logic Society :: Events / WorkshopSBL2018 I asked my friend Samuel Gomes da Silva for his slides on

The Axiom of Choice and the Partition Principle from Dialectica Categories

and what was my surprise to see  this slide...

As we say in Portuguese, 'quem tem amigos tem tudo'. Many thanks Samuel Gomes da Silva!!

Ada Lovelace Day 2018

Almost forgot about Ada Lovelace Day again! The interwebs seem to be forgetting too. With all the bad stuff happening in politics and all the accumulated work, caused by (very nice, all the same!!) being Invited Speaker at the Logic AI Summit in Luxembourg, no wonder.

Anyways, my hero figure this year is Professor Christine Paulin-Mohring, Professor Université Paris-Sud and INRIA Saclay - Île-de-France.

Prof Paulin-Mohring  is one of the people responsible for Coq, the famous French theorem prover and an expert on  automated theorem proving using dependent type theory. I have not, so far, recognized any of my heroes of Functional Programming, so this is about time, really. Happy Ada Lovelace Day, Christine!

Mirantão and Linear Dependencies

Mirantão, or actually the `Pensão Renascer' in Mirantão is very pretty.  Rustic, with delicious food, very nice people and landscapes to remind you of a Minas Gerais that only exists in the old songs of Milton Nascimento and Fernando Brant.

But Jornadas Mirantão is not about Club de Esquina nor about the world of Guimarães Rosa, re-inventing o sertão. Jornadas Mirantão are about logic and proof theory in beautiful places. So I talked about an old work with Torben Bra\"u ner that I would like to go back to. This is about using linear dependencies between formulas to describe precisely (and without the support of terms) the system called Full Intuitionistic Linear Logic. The slides are in slideshare and the technical report in Cut-Elimination for Full Intuitionistic Linear Logic. (with Brauner). Technical Report 395 from Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge and BRICS, Denmark. May 1996.

Playing Mathematician at ICM2018

I am just back from Niteroi, Brazil, where I was Invited Speaker at Logic Satellite event for the International Congress of Mathematicians 2018 (ICM2018) co-organised by the Sociedade Brasileira de Lógica and  DLMPST/IUHPST. This

Division for Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science and Technology

is an alphabet soup that no one can remember properly. The ICM is the  main meeting of  Mathematics around the world, where the Fields Medal, sometimes called the Nobel of Mathematics, is presented every four years. (a bit like the Olympics, really.) I had meant to go for the whole thing, since I have never been to one of these before and since this is the first time it has happened in the Southern Hemisphere, but ended up only being able to go for the Logic event.

The picture of me  comes from Twitter, courtesy of Benedikt Lowe, the Secretary of  the DLMPST 
and one of the main organizers of the logic satellite event. Thanks Benedikt!
I  talked about Relevant Dialectica Categories, which maybe I should talk about in the Nuance NAIL seminar too.

It was very nice of the people in Brazil (especially Bruno Lopes and Samuel Gomes da Silva) to invite me and pay for my trip! and very nice of my manager Charles Ortiz to authorize my PTO. Thank you!
