Textual similarity deals with determining how similar two pieces of texts are, considering the lexical (surface forms) or semantic (meaning) close-ness. In this paper we applied word embeddings for measuring e-commerce product title similarity in Brazilian Portuguese. We generated some domain-specific word embeddings (using Word2Vec, FastText and GloVe) and compared them with general-domain models (word embeddings and BERT models). We concluded that the cosine similarity calculated using the domain-specific word embeddings was a good approach to distinguish between similar and non-similar products, but the multilingual BERT pre-trained model proved to be thebest one.

COLING, the International Conference on Computational Linguistics, is one of the premier conferences for natural language processing and computational linguistics. Often grouped within the field of artificial intelligence, but actually pre-dating the development of artificial intelligence, advances in computational linguistics and natural language processing are now some of the major drivers behind the use of artificial intelligence for commercial and social applications – for example, on-line search, machine translation and with voice-assisted conversational devices.

First established in 1965, the biennial COLING conference is held in diverse parts of the globe and attracts participants from both top-ranked research centers and emerging countries. Today, the most important developments in our field are taking place not only in universities and academic research institutes, but also in industrial research departments and in technological startups. COLING conferences provide opportunities for all these communities to showcase their exciting developments.

Este trabalho apresenta uma proposta para representar computacionalmente as construções Transitiva Indireta, Transitiva Oblíqua e Bitransitiva
do Português Brasileiro, no âmbito do Constructicon da FrameNet Brasil.
Dessa forma, demonstra de que maneira as teorias irmãs da Semântica de Frames e da Gramática das Construções podem contribuir na busca por um modelo
de língua que alie forma e sentido em uma única representação.

Apresentamos a proposta de descrição e análise de dados verbais do português brasileiro presente no banco de dados VerboWeb. Os verbos foram agrupados e classificados de acordo com o arcabouço teórico-metodológico da Semântica Lexical, que assume que certas propriedades semânticas dos verbos determinam seu comportamento sintático. Mostramos como o banco de dados é estruturado e as generalizações que podemos fazer sobre o léxico verbal de nossa língua.

In this study, linguistic features were listed for classification of triples,based on a parallel corpus in Galician, Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR) and European Spanish (EE). In the experiments, at the syntactic level, a relevant per-formance of features that offer greater difficulty to extract valid triples was ob-served, such as the corelated null object/subject and the verb-subject inversion,as well as relational triples that form ungrammatical sub-sentences. At the mor-phological level, it was observed that the grammatical class of the initial wordof each sub-sentence, especially when they are prepositions, were relevant forthe classification of the triples

This article describes a methodology that was developed to review Emocionário, a lexicon of emotion words in Portugese from Linguateca's AC/DC project. This first portion of the review was carried out in seven of the 24 groups of Emocionário, being them “Desespero”, “Esperança”, “Humildade”, “Pena”, “Satisfação”, “Saudade” and “Surpresa”. The methodology is then illustrated, making use of examples taken from the corpus itself for each of the steps. Some of the main changes are documented and discussed at the end.

Um estudo exploratório de exposição de participantes às variantes de uma variável linguística saliente do ponto de vista social, a palatalização progressiva, foi realizado com o uso de rastreamento ocular, para examinar o processamento da variação linguística. Os resultados mostram que exposição à variante estigmatizada captou a atenção e aumentou a dilatação da pupila dos participantes, o que pode ser interpretado como evidência de uma resposta emocional.

This article presents an analysis of the textual complexity of satirical and true news for Brazilian Portuguese. The Fake has been a big problem nowadays. Satirical content is an important point in the automatic detection of false news as its use can cause underlying confusion in the analysis. To carry out this research, the NILC-Metrix tool was applied, and 16 measures were evaluated, including descriptive, syntactic and semantic aspects, noting a greater complexity for real texts.

This work describes the syntactic organization of a set of Judgments of the Special Civil Courts, whose documents must be accessible to the lay citizen without the assistance of a lawyer. The phrasal constituents with subject function in 110 Judgments are highlighted in the light of Terminology studies, Corpus Linguistics and research on reading comprehension. The study found that most of these constituents assume forms that tend to demand greater burden in reading and to exhibit traits that hardly coincide with patterns of written daily language, which makes their intelligibility difficult for the lay public.

As large amounts of unstructured data are generated on a regular basis, expressing or storing knowledge in a way that is useful remains a challenge. In this context, Relation Extraction (RE) is the task of automatically identifying relationships in unstructured textual data. Thus, we investigated the relation extraction on unstructured e-commerce data from the smartphone domain, using a BERT model fine-tuned for this task. We conducted two experiments to acknowledge how much relational information it is possible to extract from product sheets (structured data) and product titles (unstructured data), and a third experiment to compare both. Analysis shows that extracting relations within a title can retrieve correct relations that are not evident on the related sheet.

O aprendizado multimodal visa explorar as características das diversas modalidades (texto, imagem, áudio) para gerar modelos computacionais. No comercio eletrônico, devido à grande variedade das características dos produtos e a ausência ou inconsistência de informações, a combinação de informações de modos diferentes vem a ser bastante adequada. Neste trabalho são apresentados alguns experimentos para a classificação multimodal (texto e imagem) de produtos (produtos adultos) que não podem ser vendidos no marketplace da empresa parceira. Nesses experimentos, redes neurais foram usadas para treinar classificadores uni e multimodal. O classificador multimodal atingiu 99% de F1 contra 98% do modelo textual e 94% do visual.
