Forthcoming: Multiword expressions in Natural Language Processing: Current trends and challenges

Voula Giouli (ed), Verginica Barbu Mititelu (ed)

Synopsis

The present volume addresses the way in which multiword expression resources are used in real-life downstream Natural Language Processing applications, how they interact with neural architectures and generative pre-trained language models and, more broadly, how linguistic theory and computational modeling can inform each other. It critically examines the properties of multiword expression resources and their integration into – or exclusion from – contemporary Natural Language Processing systems dominated by machine learning and Large Language Models.
