| "abstract": "This eighth meeting of the international Wordnet community coincides with the 15th anniversary of the Global WordNet Association and the 30th anniversary of the Princeton WordNet. We are delighted to welcome old and new colleagues from many countries and four continents who construct wordnets, ontologies and related tools, as well as colleagues who apply such resources in a wide range of Natural Language Applications or pursue research in lexical semantics. The number of wordnets has risen to over 150 and includes-besides all the major world languagesmany less-studied languages such as Albanian and Nepali. Wordnets have become a principal tool in computational linguistics and NLP, and wordnet, SemCor and synset have entered the language as common nouns. Coming together and sharing some of the results of our work is an important part of the larger collaborative effort to better understand both universal and particular properties of human languages. Many people have donated their time and effort to make this meeting possible: the review committee, the local organizers and their helpers (Eric Curea, Maria Mitrofan, Elena Irimia), our sponsors (PIM, QATAR Airways, Oxford University Press), EasyChair and our host, the Romanian Academy. Above all, thanks go to you, the contributors, for traveling to Bucharest to present your work, listen and discuss.", | |

| "text": "The title for my presentation borrows from Mark Twain's well-known 1880 essay \"The Awful German Language\", where Twain cites pervasive nominal compounding in German as one of the pieces of evidence for the \"awfulness\" of the language. Two much cited examples of noun compounds that are included in the Duden dictionary of German are Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherung ('motor car liability insurance') and Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaft ('Danube steamboat shipping company'). Any dictionary of German, including the German wordnet GermaNet, has to offer an account of such compound words. Currently, GermaNet contains more than 55,000 nominal compounds. As the coverage of nouns in GermaNet is extended, new noun entries are almost always compounds.", | |

| "text": "In this talk I will present an account of how to model nominal compounds in GermaNet with particular focus on the semantic relations that hold between the constituents of a compound, e.g., the WHOLE-PART relation in the case of Roboterarm ('robot arm') or the LOCATION relation in the case of Bergh\u00fctte ('mountain hut'). This account, developed jointly with Reinhild Barkey, Corina Dima, Verena Henrich, Christina Hoppermann, and Heike Telljohann, borrows heavily from previous research on semantic relations in theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and computational linguistics.", | |

Here, I will present the results of recent collaborative work with Corina Dima and Daniil Sorokin, using machine learning techniques such as support vector machines as well as deep neural network classifiers and a variety of publicly available word-embeddings, which have been developed in the framework of distributional semantics.
