Chinese Tense Labelling and Causal Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper explores the role of tense information in Chinese causal analysis. Both tasks of causal type classification and causal directionality identification are experimented to show the significant improvement gained from tense features. To automatically extract the tense features, a Chinese tense predictor is proposed. Based on large amount of parallel data, our semisupervised approach improves the dependency-based convolutional neural network (DCNN) models for Chinese tense labelling and thus the causal analysis.

Time in a Language Without Tense: The Case of Chinese
This paper outlines a framework of the temporal interpretation in Chinese with a special focus on complement and relative clauses. It argues that not only Chinese has no morphological tenses but there is no need to resort to covert semantic features under a tense node in order to interpret time in Chinese. Instead, it utilizes various factors such as the information provided by default aspect, ...
متن کاملHow And Where Do People Fail With Time: Temporal Reference Mapping Annotation By Chinese And English Bilinguals
This work reports on three human tense annotation experiments for Chinese verbs in Chinese-to-English translation scenarios. The results show that inter-annotator agreement increases as the context of the verb under the annotation becomes increasingly specified, i.e. as the context moves from the situation in which the target English sentence is unknown to the situation in which the target lexi...
متن کاملDistant annotation of Chinese tense and modality
In this paper we describe a “distant annotation” method by which we mark up tense and modality of Chinese eventualities via a wordaligned parallel corpus. We first map Chinese verbs to their English counterpart via word alignment, and then annotate the resulting English text spans with coarse-grained tense and modality categories that we believe apply to both English and Chinese. Because Englis...
متن کاملOne Tense per Scene: Predicting Tense in Chinese Conversations
We study the problem of predicting tense in Chinese conversations. The unique challenges include: (1) Chinese verbs do not have explicit lexical or grammatical forms to indicate tense; (2) Tense information is often implicitly hidden outside of the target sentence. To tackle these challenges, we first propose a set of novel sentence-level (local) features using rich linguistic resources and the...

We describe a “distant annotation” method where we mark up the semantic tense, event type, and modality of Chinese events via a word-aligned parallel corpus. We first map Chinese verbs to their English counterparts via word alignment, and then annotate the resulting English text spans with coarse-grained categories for semantic tense, event type, and modality that we believe apply to both Engli...
