A Comparative Analysis of Manual and Vector Semantic Organisation using a Bilingual Dictionary of Plains Cree
Download2022-05-04
This thesis shall address the nature of, and various possible approaches to, semantic classification in a bilingual dictionary setting, in this instance, in that of a low-resource language (Plains Cree/nêhiyawêwin, ISO:crk). In doing this, we shall discuss the distinct, yet partially overlapping...

An Exploration of Dialog Act Classification in Open-domain Conversational Agents and the Applicability of Text Data Augmentation
DownloadFall 2023
Recognizing dialog acts of users is an essential component in building successful conversational agents. In this work, we propose a dialog act (DA) classifier for two of our open domain conversational agents. For this, we curated a high-quality, multi-domain dataset with ∼24k user utterances...

Application of Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval in Two Software Engineering Tools
DownloadFall 2021
Many software engineering problems have traditionally been approached by applying techniques based on static analysis and fixed sets of rules. I created two novel techniques to tackle three software engineering problems: typo location, fix suggestion, and crash report bucket creation. However,...
