Joint Learning of Preposition Senses and Semantic Roles of Prepositional Phrases
نویسندگان
چکیده
The sense of a preposition is related to the semantics of its dominating prepositional phrase. Knowing the sense of a preposition could help to correctly classify the semantic role of the dominating prepositional phrase and vice versa. In this paper, we propose a joint probabilistic model for word sense disambiguation of prepositions and semantic role labeling of prepositional phrases. Our experiments on the PropBank corpus show that jointly learning the word sense and the semantic role leads to an improvement over state-of-theart individual classifier models on the two tasks.

Towards the Automatic Learning of Idiomatic Prepositional Phrases
The objective of this work is to automatically determine, in an unsupervised manner, Spanish prepositional phrases of the type preposition nominal phrase preposition (P−NP−P) that behave in a sentence as a lexical unit and their semantic and syntactic properties cannot be deduced from the corresponding properties of each simple form, e.g., por medio de (by means of), a fin de (in order to), con...
متن کاملWeb-Based Model for Disambiguation of Prepositional Phrase Usage
We explore some Web-based methods to differentiate strings of words corresponding to Spanish prepositional phrases that can perform either as a regular prepositional phrase or as idiomatic prepositional phrase. The type of these Spanish prepositional phrases is preposition–nominal phrase–preposition (P−NP−P), for example: por medio de ‘by means of’, a fin de ‘in order to’, con respecto a ‘with ...
متن کاملSemantic Role Labelling of Prepositional Phrases
We propose a method for labelling prepositional phrases according to two different semantic role classifications, as contained in the Penn treebank and the CoNLL 2004 Semantic Role Labelling data set. Our results illustrate the difficulties in determining preposition semantics, but also demonstrate the potential for PP semantic role labelling to improve the performance of a holistic semantic ro...
متن کاملIntegration of Semantic and Syntactic Constraints for Structural Noun Phrase Disambiguation
A fundamental problem in Natural Language Processing is the integration of syntactic and semantic constraints. In this paper we describe a new approach for the integration of syntactic and semantic constraints which takes advantage of a learned memory model. Our model combines localist representations for the integration of constraints and distributed representations for learning semantic const...
متن کاملWhat Is At Stake: A Case Study Of Russian Expressions Starting With A Preposition
The paper describes an experiment in detecting a specific type of multiword expressions in Russian, namely expressions starting with a preposition. This covers not only prepositional phrases proper, but also fixed syntactic constructions like v techenie (‘in the course of’). First, we collect lists of such constructions in a corpus of 50 mln words using a simple mechanism that combines statisti...
