Labeled Representations, Underspeciication and Disambiguation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The eeects of discourse on disambiguating (sub)expressions and the problem of computing those eeects are treated formally by imposing a labeling structure over discourse representation structures, leading to barebones forms of Segmented and Underspeciied Discourse Representation Theory.

Relaxing Underspecified Semantic Representations for Reinterpretation
Type and sort connicts in semantics are usually resolved by a process of reinterpretation. Recently, Egg (1999) has proposed an alternative account in which connicts are avoided by underspeciication. The main idea is to derive suuciently relaxed underspeciied semantic representations ; addition of reinterpretation operators then simply is further specialization. But in principle, relaxing under...

First, we propose a uniied framework for evaluating verb sense in a selectional restriction-based dictionary architecture, including both generalised and xed verb senses. The proposed methodology is primarily based around the restrictiveness of the selectional restrictions on each case slot, evaluation of which is made through calculation of the average depth of semantic classes governing the c...
متن کاملAvoiding the Undeened by Underspeciication
We use the appeal of simplicity and an aversion to complexity in selecting a method for handling partial functions in logic. We conclude that avoiding the undeened by using underspeciication is the preferred choice.
متن کاملAnalogical Word Sense Disambiguation
Word sense disambiguation is an important problem in learning by reading. This paper introduces analogical word-sense disambiguation, which uses human-like analogical processing over structured, relational representations to perform word sense disambiguation. Cases are automatically constructed using representations produced via natural language analysis of sentences, and include both conceptua...
متن کاملAbstraction and Underspeciication in Semantic Transfer
This paper introduces the semantic transfer approach MinT (Minimal Transfer) that has been developed in the speech-to-speech MT system verbmobil. As a uniication-based and lexicalist semantic transfer model, it relies on some central ideas of the MRS-based transfer approach outlined in Copestake et al., 1995]. It diiers, however, from the latter in certain aspects: in MinT, the idea of abstract...
