Temporal Expression Recognition Using Dependency Trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a previously unexplored approach to recognizing the textual extent of temporal expressions. Based on the observation that temporal expressions are syntactic constituents, we use functional dependency relations between tokens in a sentence to determine which words in addition to a trigger word belong to the extent of the expression. This method is particularly attractive for the recognition of expressions with complex syntactic structure, for which state-of-the-art pattern-based taggers are not effective.

Deep Lexical Segmentation and Syntactic Parsing in the Easy-First Dependency Framework
We explore the consequences of representing token segmentations as hierarchical structures (trees) for the task of Multiword Expression (MWE) recognition, in isolation or in combination with dependency parsing. We propose a novel representation of token segmentation as trees on tokens, resembling dependency trees. Given this new representation, we present and evaluate two different architecture...
متن کاملModel Based Face Recognition Across Facial Expressions
This paper describes a novel idea of face recognition across facial expression variations using model based approach. The approach follows in 1) modeling an active appearance model (AAM) for the face image, 2) using optical flow based temporal features for facial expression variations estimation, 3) and finally applying binary decision trees as a classifier for facial identification. The novelt...
متن کاملFast Handwritten Recognition Using Continuous Distance Transformation
The Continuous Distance Transformation (CDT) used in conjunction with a k-NN classifier has been shown to provide good results in the task of handwriting recognition [1]. Unfortunately, efficient techniques such as kd-tree search methods cannot be directly used in the case of certain dissimilarity measures like the CDT-based distance functions. In order to avoid exhaustive search, a simple meth...
متن کاملA distant supervised learning system for the TAC-KBP Slot Filling and Temporal Slot Filling Tasks
This paper describes the system implemented by the NLP GROUP AT UNED for our first participation in the Knowledge Base Population at the Text Analysis Conference (TACKBP). For this Slot Filling Task, our approach was to design a distant supervised learning system, which was then specialized for the Regular Slot Filling and Full Temporal Slot Filling subtasks. From the initial Knowledge Base and...
متن کاملFacial Expression Recognition from Video Sequences: Temporal and Static Modelling
Human-computer intelligent interaction (HCII) is an emerging field of science aimed at providing natural ways for humans to use computers as aids. It is argued that for the computer to be able to interact with humans, it needs to have the communication skills of humans. One of these skills is the ability to understand the emotional state of the person. The most expressive way humans display emo...
