Cross-Lingual Metaphor Detection Using Common Semantic Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the CSF Common Semantic Features method for metaphor detection. This method has two distinguishing characteristics: it is cross-lingual and it does not rely on the availability of extensive manually-compiled lexical resources in target languages other than English. A metaphor detecting classifier is trained on English samples and then applied to the target language. The method includes procedures for obtaining semantic features from sentences in the target language. Our experiments with Russian and English sentences show comparable results, supporting our hypothesis that a CSF-based classifier can be applied across languages. We obtain state-ofthe-art performance in both languages.

Plagiarism which is defined as “the wrongful appropriation of other writers’ or authors’ works and ideas without citing or informing them” poses a major challenge to knowledge spread publication. Plagiarism has been placed in four categories of direct, paraphrasing (rewriting), translation, and combinatory. This paper addresses translational plagiarism which is sometimes referred to as cross-li...
متن کاملCross-lingual Semantic Generalization for the Detection of Metaphor
In this work, we describe a supervised cross-lingual methodology for detecting novel and conventionalized metaphors that derives generalized semantic patterns from a collection of metaphor annotations. For this purpose, we model each metaphor annotation as an abstract tuple – (source, target, relation, metaphoricity) – that packages a metaphoricity judgement with a relational grounding of the s...
متن کاملMetaphor Detection with Cross-Lingual Model Transfer
We show that it is possible to reliably discriminate whether a syntactic construction is meant literally or metaphorically using lexical semantic features of the words that participate in the construction. Our model is constructed using English resources, and we obtain state-of-the-art performance relative to previous work in this language. Using a model transfer approach by pivoting through a ...

With the advent of Big Data concept, a lot of attention has been paid to structuring and giving semantic to this data. Knowledge bases like DBPedia play an important role to achieve this goal. Question answering systems are common approach to address expressivity and usability of information extraction from knowledge bases. Recent researches focused only on monolingual QA systems while cross-li...

This paper overviews FBK’s participation in the Cross-Lingual Textual Entailment for Content Synchronization task organized within SemEval-2012. Our participation is characterized by using cross-lingual matching features extracted from lexical and semantic phrase tables and dependency relations. The features are used for multi-class and binary classification using SVMs. Using a combination of l...
