Statistical Script Learning with Multi-Argument Events
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scripts represent knowledge of stereotypical event sequences that can aid text understanding. Initial statistical methods have been developed to learn probabilistic scripts from raw text corpora; however, they utilize a very impoverished representation of events, consisting of a verb and one dependent argument. We present a script learning approach that employs events with multiple arguments. Unlike previous work, we model the interactions between multiple entities in a script. Experiments on a large corpus using the task of inferring held-out events (the “narrative cloze evaluation”) demonstrate that modeling multi-argument events improves predictive accuracy.

Statistical Script Learning with Recurrent Neural Nets
Statistical Scripts are probabilistic models of sequences of events. For example, a script model might encode the information that the event “Smith met with the President” should strongly predict the event “Smith spoke to the President.” We present a number of results improving the state of the art of learning statistical scripts for inferring implicit events. First, we demonstrate that incorpo...
متن کاملFEEL: Featured Event Embedding Learning
Statistical script learning is an effective way to acquire world knowledge which can be used for commonsense reasoning. Statistical script learning induces this knowledge by observing event sequences generated from texts. The learned model thus can predict subsequence events, given earlier events. Recent approaches rely on learning event embeddings which capture script knowledge. In this work, ...
متن کاملUsing Sentence-Level LSTM Language Models for Script Inference
There is a small but growing body of research on statistical scripts, models of event sequences that allow probabilistic inference of implicit events from documents. These systems operate on structured verb-argument events produced by an NLP pipeline. We compare these systems with recent Recurrent Neural Net models that directly operate on raw tokens to predict sentences, finding the latter to ...
متن کاملPromoting Critical, Elaborative Discussions through a Collaboration Script and Argument Diagrams
During the past two decades a variety of approaches to support argumentation learning in computer-based learning environments have been investigated. We present an approach that combines argumentation diagramming and collaboration scripts, two methods successfully used in the past individually. The rationale for combining the methods is to capitalize on their complementary strengths: Argument d...
متن کاملA Hierarchical Bayesian Model for Unsupervised Induction of Script Knowledge
Scripts representing common sense knowledge about stereotyped sequences of events have been shown to be a valuable resource for NLP applications. We present a hierarchical Bayesian model for unsupervised learning of script knowledge from crowdsourced descriptions of human activities. Events and constraints on event ordering are induced jointly in one unified framework. We use a statistical mode...
