Core Time A#
A-01 Current Status of the Dialect AI Project
Dialect and... AI? Curious about what this "project" is.
The project Construction and Utilization of a Morphological Analysis Dictionary for Japanese Dialects released a paper this year Development of a Morphological Analysis Dictionary Targeting Kansai Dialect, and Web Chamame now supports selecting "Kansai Dialect," but the presenter does not seem to be from this project.
A-02 You Can Do It with a Computer! Methods for Experimental Research on Language.
Curious about what will be discussed.
A-06 Contrast of Onomatopoeia in Japanese and Korean
Mainly interested in what "Korean Onomatopoeia" looks like.
A-11 Is the Origin of Language Communication?: From the Perspective of Computational Psycholinguistics
Computational... Computational Psycholinguistics? Sounds interesting, and the discussion topics seem intriguing.
Core Time B#
B-07 Exploration and Verification of Corpus Linguistics: How to Face Data?
Is it about what kind of data is needed for corpus linguistics?
B-32 Forms and Meanings of the Suffix -er in Modern Japanese
Hmm? I read the title several times, it's not "Modern Chinese XXX" 233 (Oops, revealing my amateur linguistics side).
Core Time C#
C-08 Usage Rate of Rising and Falling Intonation by Boundary
Interested in this presentation because I heard Ta present 'i3_A1: The Relationship Between Rising and Falling Intonation and Conversational Form - Using the "Japanese Daily Conversation Corpus"' six months ago at Language Resource Workshop 2024.
C-34 Relationship Between Accent and Melody in Hit Songs
Curious about which "hit songs" are being studied...~~ Guessing "Kasuga no Kage"~~
C-37 Performance Analysis of Existing Morphological Analysis Software
Haha, this presentation might easily offend peers 233, but without a doubt, it's the one I'm most looking forward to.
Mecab: What level are you to compare performance with my C++ morphological analyzer
Rust: Sir, times have changed
awesome-japanese-nlp-resources lists many morphological analyzers, but everyone's introductions are quite subtle. Most companies probably just use the analyzer corresponding to the language they are familiar with, without seriously comparing performance.
There was also a presentation in this direction at PyCon JP 2020: https://github.com/taishi-i/toiro.
Unimportant point: The presenter is affiliated with "Kokubunji High School" — are they a teacher or a student there... Although it was clearly stated that minors are allowed to participate this time, I wonder if high school students will actually come to present (surprised!
