A Method to Resolve Ambiguity of Interpretation of English Sentences
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method of ambiguity resolution for natural language processing in intelligent English learning support systems. Ambiguity of interpretation of sentences is one of the most important problems for intelligent language learning support systems which allow learners input composed sentences freely. Our system has a question and answer function which asks learners the contents of a story. Our method for the function resolves structural and semantic ambiguity by using the degree of agreement between results of natural language processing: syntactic and semantic information, of learners' answers and a story.

متن کاملUsing Bilingual Chinese-English Word Alignments to Resolve PP-Attachment Ambiguity in English
Errors in English parse trees impact the quality of syntax-based MT systems trained using those parses. Frequent sources of error for English parsers include PP-attachment ambiguity, NP-bracketing ambiguity, and coordination ambiguity. Not all ambiguities are preserved across languages. We examine a common type of ambiguity in English that is not preserved in Chinese: given a sequence “VP NP PP...
متن کاملAnalyzing Human and Machine Performance In Resolving Ambiguous Spoken Sentences
Written sentences can be more ambiguous than spoken sentences. We investigate this difference for two different types of ambiguity: prepositional phrase (PP) attachment and sentences where the addition of commas changes the meaning. We recorded a native English speaker saying several of each type of sentence both with and without disambiguating contextual information. These sentences were then ...
