Automatic Question Categorization: a New Approach for Text Elaboration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Text adaptation is a normal activity of teachers to facilitate reading comprehension of specific contents; the general approaches for it are Text Simplification and Text Elaboration (TE). TE aims at clarifying, explaining information and making connections explicit in texts. In this paper, we present a new approach for TE: an automatic question categorization system which assigns wh-question labels to verbal arguments in a sentence. For example, in ―Mary danced yesterday.‖ ―Who?‖ is the label linking the verb ―danced‖ to the argument ―Mary‖ and ―When?‖ links ―danced‖ to the argument ―yesterday‖. This annotation is similar to semantic role labeling, approached successfully via statistical language processing techniques. Specifically, we present experiments to build the system using a fine-grained question set in Portuguese language and address two key research questions: (1) Which machine-learning algorithm presents the best results? (2) Which problems this task presents and how to overcome them?

متن کاملA survey on Automatic Text Summarization
Text summarization endeavors to produce a summary version of a text, while maintaining the original ideas. The textual content on the web, in particular, is growing at an exponential rate. The ability to decipher through such massive amount of data, in order to extract the useful information, is a major undertaking and requires an automatic mechanism to aid with the extant repository of informa...

متن کاملBoosTexter : A Boosting - based System for Text Categorization
This work focuses on algorithms which learn from examples to perform multiclass text and speech categorization tasks. Our approach is based on a new and improved family of boosting algorithms. We describe in detail an implementation, called BoosTexter, of the new boosting algorithms for text categorization tasks. We present results comparing the performance of BoosTexter and a number of other t...
