Rel-grams: A Probabilistic Model of Relations in Text
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce the Rel-grams language model, which is analogous to an n-grams model, but is computed over relations rather than over words. The model encodes the conditional probability of observing a relational tuple R, given that R′ was observed in a window of prior relational tuples. We build a database of Rel-grams co-occurence statistics from ReVerb extractions over 1.8M news wire documents and show that a graphical model based on these statistics is useful for automatically discovering event templates. We make this database freely available and hope it will prove a useful resource for a wide variety of NLP tasks.

Evaluation plays an important role in interactive question answering systems like many computational linguistics fields. The coherence between the questions and the answers exchanged between the user and the system is one of the important criteria in evaluating these systems. In this paper, a new approach to determine the degree of coherence of generated text by the IQA systems is presented. Th...
متن کاملInferring Narrative Causality between Event Pairs in Films
To understand narrative, humans draw inferences about the underlying relations between narrative events. Cognitive theories of narrative understanding define these inferences as four different types of causality, that include pairs of events A, B where A physically causes B (X drop, X break), to pairs of events where A causes emotional state B (Y saw X, Y felt fear). Previous work on learning n...
متن کاملGenerating Coherent Event Schemas at Scale
Chambers and Jurafsky (2009) demonstrated that event schemas can be automatically induced from text corpora. However, our analysis of their schemas identifies several weaknesses, e.g., some schemas lack a common topic and distinct roles are incorrectly mixed into a single actor. It is due in part to their pair-wise representation that treats subjectverb independently from verb-object. This ofte...
متن کاملOverview of the Entity Relations (REL) supporting task of BioNLP Shared Task 2011
This paper presents the Entity Relations (REL) task, a supporting task of the BioNLP Shared Task 2011. The task concerns the extraction of two types of part-of relations between a gene/protein and an associated entity. Four teams submitted final results for the REL task, with the highest-performing system achieving 57.7% F-score. While experiments suggest use of the data can help improve event ...
متن کاملEstimation and Analysis of Caspian Region's Future Rainfalls by Using General Atmospheric Circulation Models.
In recent years, the severe fluctuations in precipitation have affected various parts of the country. On the southern coasts of the Caspian Sea, precipitation as one of the important climatic parameters has undergone changes due to global climate change. In the present study, we tried to evaluate the effect of climate change on rainfall in this region by applying a suitable model. In this study...
