High-Precision Abductive Mapping of Multilingual Metaphors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metaphor is a cognitive phenomenon exhibited in language, where one conceptual domain (the target) is thought of in terms of another (the source). The first level of metaphor interpretation is the mapping of linguistic metaphors to pairs of source and target concepts. Based on the abductive approach to metaphor interpretation proposed by Hobbs (1992) and implemented in the open-source Metaphor-ADP system (Ovchinnikova et al., 2014), we present work to automatically learn knowledge bases to support high-precision conceptual metaphor mapping in English, Spanish, Farsi, and Russian.

Multilingual Affect Polarity and Valence Prediction in Metaphors
Understanding metaphor rich texts like "Her lawyer is a shark", "Time is money”, “We need to construct a strong argument” and the affect associated with them is a challenging problem, which has been of interest to the research community for a long time. One crucial challenge is to build an automated system that can identify the polarity and valence associated with metaphors and create multiling...
متن کاملAbductive Inference for Interpretation of Metaphors
This paper presents a metaphor interpretation pipeline based on abductive inference. In this framework following (Hobbs, 1992) metaphor interpretation is modelled as a part of the general discourse processing problem, such that the overall discourse coherence is supported. We present an experimental evaluation of the proposed approach using linguistic data in English and Russian.
متن کاملUncertain Reasoning for Creating Ontology Mapping on the Semantic Web
Mapping ontologies with high precision on the Semantic Web is a challenging problem that needs to be addressed in various domains. One of the main problems with any mapping process, which needs to be applied on different domains is that it always has a certain degree of uncertainty associated with it. In this paper we introduce a method based on Dempster-Shafer theory that use uncertain reasoni...
متن کاملGRISP: A Massive Multilingual Terminological Database for Scientific and Technical Domains
The development of a multilingual terminology is a very long and costly process. We present the creation of a multilingual terminological database called GRISP covering multiple technical and scientific fields from various open resources. A crucial aspect is the merging of the different resources which is based in our proposal on the definition of a sound conceptual model, different domain mapp...
متن کاملComposite Interface Metaphors 1 A componential model for understanding the effects of composite interface metaphors on web-based task performance and learning
Composite Interface Metaphors 2 Two experiments describe how a composite metaphor interface (CMI) for performing website tasks can be developed using an iterative and theory-based design approach. The CMI consisted of two semantically unrelated metaphors: the library metaphor and the travel metaphor. A new componential model for predicting the effectiveness of CMIs is described and used for der...
