Title: UN General Assembly resolution corpus - challenges and discoveries
Speaker: Alexandre Rafalovitch

In the talk, I will discuss UN GA resolution corpus and properties that make
it NLP-interesting. I will talk about building corpus from MSWord documents
and challenges of tokenization, Multi-Word Named Entities, verb phrase
clustering and (hints of) information extraction. If there is time, I may
also showcase some of the other corpus aspects that I do not concentrate on,
but other people may find interesting.
