Member of our research group, Renato Soic, has participated on Slavic Cognitive Linguistics Association Conference, which was held on Harvard University in October 2019. This conference was focused on cognitive aspects of language, and we presented our work “Hrvatski n-gramski sustav” in which we explained the significance of Croatian n-gram system, current research related to cognitive analysis of natural language, as well as future challenges awaiting us in area of human-computer interaction and related disciplines.
Here is a short abstract of the paper (in Croatian):
Leksički n-gramski sustavi produkt su tzv. big data trenda u prirodnojezičnim tehnologijama: „više riječi, manje lingvističkog označavanja“, dobro iskazanog u članku Googleovih eksperata od prije deset godina. U prezentaciji će biti prikazana brojnost hrvatskog n-gramskog sustava, kako temeljnoga tako i onoga višega reda, dosegnuta 1. listopada 2019., zakoni po kojima se ta brojnost mijenja, te primjeri dosadašnjih korištenja hrvatskog n-gramskog sustava u prirodnojezičnim obradama.
