In this presentation, we introduce a new approach that simulates the construction of phrasal meaning as an analogical process implemented with deep learning techniques. We propose a distributional representation of constructional phrases (namely Relational Embeddings) and a neural network model for generating new embeddings analogically rather than applying traditional compositional operations, which we call ANNE (Analogical Neural Network for Embeddings). 
We experimented with our analogical neural network to understand how it can generalize and be extendable to different scenarios. We argued that the proposed methodology could open the doors to new analyses in distributional semantics as well as in computational models of language processing.

**Welcome to EMNLP 2023!**

On behalf of the EMNLP 2023 Organizing Committee, I extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to all of you to the 2023 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP). It is with immense pleasure and excitement that we gather here in Singapore, a vibrant hub of innovation and technological advancement.

The conference program is packed with insightful presentations, thought-provoking workshops, and engaging networking opportunities. In addition to the technical sessions, we have also planned several social events that will provide you with the opportunity to connect with your colleagues.

The conference is held in person at the Resorts World Convention Centre in Singapore, and available on-line with the help of Underline.

For those in Singapore, I hope that you will find time to explore the exciting Sentosa Island, Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Botanic Gardens and the many other attractions unique to Singapore.

Of course, we are grateful to our sponsors and partners for their generous support of EMNLP 2023, whose contributions make it possible for us to host this world-class event.

We present a publicly available corpus with detailed annotations describing the core elements of clinical trials: Participants, Intervention, Control, and Outcomes. The corpus consists of 1011 abstracts of breast cancer randomized controlled trials extracted from the PubMed database. The corpus improves previous corpora by providing detailed annotations for outcomes to identify numeric texts that report the number of participants that experience specific outcomes. The corpus will be helpful for the development of systems for automatic extraction of data from randomized controlled trial literature to support evidence-based medicine. Additionally, we demonstrate the feasibility of the corpus by using two strong baselines for named entity recognition task. Most of the entities achieve F1 scores greater than 0.80 demonstrating the quality of the dataset.

On the portability of extractive Question-Answering systems on scientific papers to real-life application scenarios

Tracking state-of-the-art (SOTA) results in machine learning studies is challenging due to high publication volume. Existing methods for creating leaderboards in scientific documents require significant human supervision or rely on scarcely available LaTeX source files. We propose Table Entity LINker (TELIN), a framework which extracts (task, model, dataset, metric) quadruples from collections of scientific publications in PDF format. TELIN identifies scientific named entities, constructs a knowledge base, and leverages human feedback to iteratively refine automatic extractions. TELIN identifies and prioritizes uncertain and impactful entities for human review to create a cascade effect for leaderboard completion. We show that TELIN is competitive with the SOTA but requires much less human annotation.

This corpus contains more than 30,000 classical Chinese poems in their tokenized form. The poems are from the Complete Tang Poems (全唐詩,CTP) and the Complete Song Poems (全宋詩,CSP). Two groups of annotators from two universities carried out the task. More than 5000 of these poems were annotated repeatedly for the inter-rater agreement analysis. The annotators did not agree with each other perfectly, as many readers may have expected, but the degrees and types of their agreements are worthy of discussion. The annotations support some comments, of the Ming dynasty, about the formats of the poems. We applied machine learning methods to train and test their usability for the tokenization task. We could identify 87% of the words, 77% of the whole lines, and 18% of the whole poems in the CTP correctly. We have expanded the scale of our annotated poems, have extended our exploration with deep learning methods, and we wish to report these extensions in a formal report.

Introducing a Large Corpus of Tokenized Classical Chinese Poems of Tang and Song Dynasties

Research has shown that the practice of translation exhibits predictable linguistic cues that make translated texts distinguishable from original-language texts (a phenomenon known as "translationese"). In this paper, we test the extent to which literary translations are subject to the same effects and whether they also exhibit meaningful differences at the level of content. Research into the function of translations within national literary markets using smaller case studies has suggested that translations play a cultural role that is distinct from that of original-language literature, i.e. their differences reside not only at the level of translationese but at the level of content. Using a dataset consisting of original-language fiction in English and translations into English from 120 languages (N=21,302), we find that one of the principal functions of literary translation is to convey predictable geographic identities to local readers that nevertheless extend well beyond the foreignness of persons and places.
