Anglicism usage in Spanish language has been previously studied within the field of corpus linguistics. Prior work has traditionally relied on manual inspection of corpora, with the limitations that implies. This thesis proposes a model for automatic extraction of unadapted anglicisms in Spanish newswire. This thesis introduces: (1) an annotated corpus of 21,570 newspaper headlines (325,665 tokens) written in European Spanish annotated with unadapted anglicisms and (2) two sequence-labeling models to perform automatic extraction of unadapted anglicisms: a conditional random field model with handcrafted features and a BiLSTM-CRF model with word and character embeddings. The best results are obtained by the CRF model, with an F1 score of 89.60 on the development set and 87.82 on the test set.

The documents in the corpus belong to the Christmas speeches that have been delivered yearly by the head of state of Spain since 1937.

As a result, the corpus reflects some of the most significant events and political changes in the recent history of Spain. Up until now, the speeches as a whole had not been collected into a single, systematic and reusable resource, as most of the texts were scattered among different sources.

Building a successful readmission risk classifier based on the content of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has proved, however, to be a challenging task. Previously explored features include mainly structured information, such as sociodemographic data, comorbidity codes and physiological variables. In this paper we assess incorporating additional clinically interpretable NLP-based features such as topic extraction and clinical sentiment analysis to predict early readmission risk in psychiatry patients.","tags":[],"title":"Assessing the Efficacy of Clinical Sentiment Analysis and Topic Extraction in Psychiatric Readmission Risk Prediction","type":"publication"},{"authors":null,"categories":null,"content":"","date":1559253600,"expirydate":-62135596800,"kind":"page","lang":"en","lastmod":1559253600,"objectID":"a518097d90871df0af4d168cc8912a47","permalink":"/project/figurativelanguage/","publishdate":"2019-05-31T00:00:00+02:00","relpermalink":"/project/figurativelanguage/","section":"project","summary":"A project on annotation and classification of non literal tweets.

El proyecto ha consistido en la creación de un corpus de prensa de dos millones de palabras, confeccionado a partir de noticias extraídas de las hemerotecas de cuatro periódicos centenarios (El Norte de Castilla, El Diario de Mallorca, El Heraldo de Aragón y La Vanguardia). A partir de este corpus, se han obtenido distintas medidas de riqueza por décadas (variación, densidad léxica y complejidad de los artículos) y se han comparado los valores obtenidos en las distintas épocas. Los resultados muestran que la riqueza y la complejidad de los textos periodísticos se han mantenido notablemente estables en los últimos cien años.","tags":[],"title":"Aracne: estudio de la variación lingüística en la prensa española entre 1914 y 2014 (Aracne: a study of language change in the Spanish press between 1914 and 2014)","type":"publication"},{"authors":[],"categories":null,"content":"   ","date":1516921200,"expirydate":-62135596800,"kind":"page","lang":"en","lastmod":1516921200,"objectID":"3ed8ba2828c135c15c31bc773b1f2093","permalink":"/talk/valladolid/","publishdate":"2018-01-26T00:00:00+01:00","relpermalink":"/talk/valladolid/","section":"talk","summary":"Acceptance speech for the [Miguel Delibes National Journalism Award](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premio_Nacional_de_Periodismo_Miguel_Delibes) 2017.
