    TRopBank: Turkish PropBank V2.0
    (European Language Resources Association (ELRA), 2020-05-16) Kara, Neslihan; Aslan, Deniz Baran; Marşan, Büşra; Bakay, Özge; Ak, Koray; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In this paper, we present and explain TRopBank “Turkish PropBank v2.0”. PropBank is a hand-annotated corpus of propositions which is used to obtain the predicate-argument information of a language. Predicate-argument information of a language can help understand semantic roles of arguments. “Turkish PropBank v2.0”, unlike PropBank v1.0, has a much more extensive list of Turkish verbs, with 17.673 verbs in total.

    Construction of a Turkish proposition bank
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, 2018) Ak, Koray; Toprak, Cansu; Esgel, Volkan; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    This paper describes our approach to developing the Turkish PropBank by adopting the semantic role-labeling guidelines of the original PropBank and using the translation of the English Penn-TreeBank as a resource. We discuss the semantic annotation process of the PropBank and language-specific cases for Turkish, the tools we have developed for annotation, and quality control for multiuser annotation. In the current phase of the project, more than 9500 sentences are semantically analyzed and predicate-argument information is extracted for 1330 verbs and 1914 verb senses. Our plan is to annotate 17,000 sentences by the end of 2017.

    Integrating Turkish Wordnet KeNet to Princeton WordNet: The case of one-to-many correspondences
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-10) Bakay, Özge; Ergelen, Özlem; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In this paper, we introduce a novel approach of forming interlingual relations between multilingual wordnets. We have mapped Turkish senses in KeNet with their corresponding senses in Princeton WordNet by drawing one-To-many correspondences. As a result of language-specific properties, one synset in one language is matched with multiple synsets in the other language in some cases. Our method of integrating KeNet into a multilingual network also included mapping the most frequent 5000 senses in English with their equivalent senses in Turkish. What we demonstrate is that one-To-many interlingual correspondances are necessary to include in mappings both from Turkish-To-English and English-To-Turkish. Furthermore, one-To-many mappings give us insights into the semantic relations to be constructed in Turkish, such as hypernymy.

    English-Turkish parallel semantic annotation of Penn-Treebank
    (Oficyna Wydawnicza Politechniki Wroclawskiej, 2020) Arıcan, Bilge Nas; Bakay, Özge; Avar, Begüm; Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Ergelen, Özlem
    This paper reports our efforts in constructing a sense-labeled English-Turkish parallel corpus using the traditional method of manual tagging. We tagged a pre-built parallel treebank which was translated from the Penn Treebank corpus. This approach allowed us to generate a resource combining syntactic and semantic information. We provide statistics about the corpus itself as well as information regarding its development process.

    Problems caused by semantic drift in WordNet synset construction
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-09) Bakay, Özge; Ergelen, Özlem; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In this study, we summarize the semantic drift problem that occur in specific synsets of KeNet, a Turkish WordNet, which is caused by mis-merging of semantically-related lexical items, morphological markings and false part of speech (POS) matchings. We present our approach to these problems in order to eliminate the semantic drift. We have re-analyzed the dictionary definitions of the items, placed those that possess different verbal markings into separate synsets, and divided synsets based on the POS of the items in them.

    MorAz: An open-source morphological analyzer for Azerbaijani Turkish
    (Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2018) Özenç, Berke; Ehsani, Razieh; Solak, Ercan
    MorAz is an open-source morphological analyzer for Azerbaijani Turkish. The analyzer is available through both as a website for interactive exploration and as a RESTful web service for integration into a natural language processing pipeline. MorAz implements the morphology of Azerbaijani Turkish following a two-level approach using Helsinki finite-state transducer and wraps the analyzer with python scripts in a Django instance.

    AnlamVer: Semantic model evaluation dataset for Turkish - word similarity and relatedness
    (Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), 2018-08-26) Ercan, Gökhan; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In this paper, we present AnlamVer, which is a semantic model evaluation dataset for Turkish designed to evaluate word similarity and word relatedness tasks while discriminating those two relations from each other. Our dataset consists of 500 word-pairs annotated by 12 human subjects, and each pair has two distinct scores for similarity and relatedness. Word-pairs are selected to enable the evaluation of distributional semantic models by multiple attributes of words and word-pair relations such as frequency, morphology, concreteness and relation types (e.g., synonymy, antonymy). Our aim is to provide insights to semantic model researchers by evaluating models in multiple attributes. We balance dataset word-pairs by their frequencies to evaluate the robustness of semantic models concerning out-of-vocabulary and rare words problems, which are caused by the rich derivational and inflectional morphology of the Turkish language.

    Shallow parsing in Turkish
    (IEEE, 2017) Topsakal, Ozan; Açıkgöz, Onur; Gürkan, Ali Tunca; Kanburoğlu, Ali Buğra; Ertopçu, Burak; Özenç, Berke; Çam, İlker; Avar, Begüm; Ercan, Gökhan; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    In this study, shallow parsing is applied on Turkish sentences. These sentences are used to train and test the per-formances of various learning algorithms with various features specified for shallow parsing in Turkish.

    All-words word sense disambiguation for Turkish
    (IEEE, 2017) Açıkgöz, Onur; Gürkan, Ali Tunca; Ertopçu, Burak; Topsakal, Ozan; Özenç, Berke; Kanburoğlu, Ali Buğra; Çam, İlker; Avar, Begüm; Ercan, Gökhan; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    Identifying the sense of a word within a context is a challenging problem and has many applications in natural language processing. This assignment problem is called word sense disambiguation(WSD). Many papers in the literature focus on English language and data. Our dataset consists of 1400 sentences translated to Turkish from the Penn Treebank Corpus. This paper seeks to address and discuss 6 different feature extraction methods and its classification performances using C4.5, Random Forests, Rocchio, Naive Bayes, KNN, Linear and multilayer Perceptron. This paper calls into question how the described features perform on a morphologically rich language (Turkish) with several classifiers.

    Automatic propbank generation for Turkish
    (Incoma Ltd, 2019-09) Ak, Koray; Yıldız, Olcay Taner
    Semantic role labeling (SRL) is an important task for understanding natural languages, where the objective is to analyse propositions expressed by the verb and to identify each word that bears a semantic role. It provides an extensive dataset to enhance NLP applications such as information retrieval, machine translation, information extraction, and question answering. However, creating SRL models are difficult. Even in some languages, it is infeasible to create SRL models that have predicate-argument structure due to lack of linguistic resources. In this paper, we present our method to create an automatic Turkish PropBank by exploiting parallel data from the translated sentences of English PropBank. Experiments show that our method gives promising results. © 2019 Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL).
