Verb Class Disambiguation Using Informative Priors
Levin’s (1993) study of verb classes is a widely used resource for lexical semantics. In her framework, some verbs, such as give, exhibit no class ambiguity. But other verbs, such as write, have several alternative classes. We extend Levin’s inventory to a simple statistical model of verb class ambiguity. Using this model we are able to generate preferences for ambiguous verbs without the use o...
متن کاملAn Unsupervised Verb Class Disambiguation
We present an unsupervised learning method for disambiguating verbs that belong to more than one Levin verb class (1993) when occurring in a particular syntactic frame. We used examples that contain unambiguous verbs in each verb class as the training data for ambiguous verbs in that class. A Naive Bayesian classifier was employed for the disambiguation task using context words as features. Our...
متن کاملNetwork inference using informative priors.
Recent years have seen much interest in the study of systems characterized by multiple interacting components. A class of statistical models called graphical models, in which graphs are used to represent probabilistic relationships between variables, provides a framework for formal inference regarding such systems. In many settings, the object of inference is the network structure itself. This ...
متن کاملHighly Informative Priors
SUMMARY After discussing the role of prior information in statistical inference, historically and in current problems, we analyze the problem of seasonal adjustment i n economics. Litterman 1980 has shown how informative priors for autoregressive coeecients can improve economic forecasts. We nd that in seasonal adjustment informative priors can have a m uch greater eeect on our conclusions. In ...
متن کاملEstimating Class Priors in Domain Adaptation for Word Sense Disambiguation
Instances of a word drawn from different domains may have different sense priors (the proportions of the different senses of a word). This in turn affects the accuracy of word sense disambiguation (WSD) systems trained and applied on different domains. This paper presents a method to estimate the sense priors of words drawn from a new domain, and highlights the importance of using well calibrat...
