Fine-Grained Prediction of Syntactic Typology: Discovering Latent Structure with Supervised Learning
We show how to predict the basic word-order facts of a novel language given only a corpus of part-of-speech (POS) sequences. We predict how often direct objects follow their verbs, how often adjectives follow their nouns, and in general the directionalities of all dependency relations. Such typological properties could be helpful in grammar induction. While such a problem is usually regarded as...
متن کاملDiscovering Fine-Grained Sentiment with Latent Variable Structured Prediction Models
In this paper we investigate the use of latent variable structured prediction models for fine-grained sentiment analysis in the common situation where only coarse-grained supervision is available. Specifically, we show how sentencelevel sentiment labels can be effectively learned from document-level supervision using hidden conditional random fields (HCRFs) [10]. Experiments show that this tech...
متن کاملPredicting Fine-Grained Syntactic Typology from Surface Features
We are motivated by the longstanding challenge of determining the structure of a language from its superficial features. Principles & Parameters theory (Chomsky, 1981) hypothesized that human babies are born with an evolutionarily tuned system that is specifically adapted to natural language, which can predict typological properties (“parameters”) by spotting telltale configurations in purely l...
متن کاملWeakly Supervised Clustering: Learning Fine-Grained Signals from Coarse Labels
Consider a classification problem where we do not have access to labels for individual training examples, but only have average labels over subpopulations. We give practical examples of this setup, and show how these classification tasks can usefully be analyzed as weakly supervised clustering problems. We propose three approaches to solving the weakly supervised clustering problem, including a...
متن کاملDiscovering Fine-grained Sentiment in Suicide Notes
This paper presents our solution for the i2b2 sentiment classification challenge. Our hybrid system consists of machine learning and rule-based classifiers. For the machine learning classifier, we investigate a variety of lexical, syntactic and knowledge-based features, and show how much these features contribute to the performance of the classifier through experiments. For the rule-based class...
