Towards a Computational Model of Gradience in Word Sense
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the construction of lexicons or word sense inventories, researchers have usually strived to de ne a set of disjoint senses for a word; however, there is increasing evidence that this is impossible in the general case. In this programmatic paper, we support this point with sense overlap data from manual sense annotation. We then sketch the road towards a fundamentally graded representation of word sense that is still amenable to integration into a theory of sentence semantics.

The role of memory in superiority violation gradience
This paper examines how grammatical and memory constraints explain gradience in superiority violation acceptability. A computational model encoding both categories of constraints is compared to experimental evidence. By formalizing memory capacity as beam-search in the parser, the model predicts gradience evident in human data. To predict attachment behavior, the parser must be sensitive to the...

Word sense disambiguation is the task of identifying the correct sense for the word in a given context among a finite set of possible sense. In this paper a model for farsi word sense disambiguation is presented. The model use two group of features: first, all word and stop words around target word and topic models as second features. We extract topics from a farsi corpus with Latent Dirichlet ...

متن کاملModelling Syntactic Gradience with Loose Constraint-based Parsing
The grammaticality of a sentence has conventionally been treated in a binary way: either a sentence is grammatical or not. A growing body of work, however, focuses on studying intermediate levels of acceptability, sometimes referred to as gradience. To date, the bulk of this work has concerned itself with the exploration of human assessments of syntactic gradience. This dissertation explores th...
متن کاملOptionality and Gradience in Persian Phonology: An Optimality Treatment
The distribution of the allophones of /?/in certain contexts involves free variation and gradient preferences. An organized survey was conducted to elicit the judgments of 37 native Persian speakers concerning the well-formedness of /?/allophonic behavior in five different phonological positions. The results showed that the differences in judgment between the various categories are not just t...
