Metonymy Resolution as a Classification Task
نویسندگان
چکیده
We reformulate metonymy resolution as a classification task. This is motivated by the regularity of metonymic readings and makes general classification and word sense disambiguation methods available for metonymy resolution. We then present a case study for location names, presenting both a corpus of location names annotated for metonymy as well as experiments with a supervised classification algorithm on this corpus. We especially explore the contribution of features used in word sense disambiguation to metonymy resolution.

UTD-HLT-CG: Semantic Architecture for Metonymy Resolution and Classification of Nominal Relations
In this paper we present a semantic architecture that was employed for processing two different SemEval 2007 tasks: Task 4 (Classification of Semantic Relations between Nominals) and Task 8 (Metonymy Resolution). The architecture uses multiple forms of syntactic, lexical, and semantic information to inform a classification-based approach that generates a different model for each machine learnin...
متن کاملMetonimy resolution for named entities: an hybrid approach
Named Entity metonymy resolution is a challenging natural langage processing task, which has been recently subject to a growing interest. In this paper, we describe the method we have developed in order to solve Named entity metonymy in the framework of the SemEval 2007 competition. In order to perform Named Entity metonymy resolution on location names and company names, as required for this ta...
متن کاملGYDER: Maxent Metonymy Resolution
Though the GYDER system has achieved the highest accuracy scores for the metonymy resolution shared task at SemEval-2007 in all six subtasks, we don’t consider the results (72.80% accuracy for org, 84.36% for loc) particularly impressive, and argue that metonymy resolution needs more features.
متن کاملVancouver Welcomes You! Minimalist Location Metonymy Resolution
Named entities are frequently used in a metonymic manner. They serve as references to related entities such as people and organisations. Accurate identification and interpretation of metonymy can be directly beneficial to various NLP applications, such as Named Entity Recognition and Geographical Parsing. Until now, metonymy resolution (MR) methods mainly relied on parsers, taggers, dictionarie...

This paper is an extended version of (Brun et al., 2007) describing our participation to the Metonymy Resolution (task #8) at SemEval 2007. In order to perform Named Entity metonymy resolution on location names and company names, as required for this task, we developed a hybrid system based on the use of a robust parser that extracts deep syntactic relations combined with a non supervised distr...
