Learning Transformation Rules for Semantic Parsing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an approach for inducing transformation rules that map natural-language sentences into a formal semantic representation language. The approach assumes a formal grammar for the target representation language and learns transformation rules that exploit the non-terminal symbols in this grammar. Patterns for the transformation rules are learned using an induction algorithm based on longestcommon-subsequences previously developed for an information extraction system. Experimental results are presented on learning to map English coaching instructions for Robocup soccer into an existing formal language for coaching simulated robotic agents.

Automatic identification of words with semantic roles (such as Agent, Patient, Source, etc.) in sentences and attaching correct semantic roles to them, may lead to improvement in many natural language processing tasks including information extraction, question answering, text summarization and machine translation. Semantic role labeling systems usually take advantage of syntactic parsing and th...
متن کاملTransformation-based learning for semantic parsing
This paper presents a semantic parser that transforms an initial semantic hypothesis into the correct semantics by applying an ordered list of transformation rules. These rules are learnt automatically from a training corpus with no prior linguistic knowledge and no alignment between words and semantic concepts. The learning algorithm produces a compact set of rules which enables the parser to ...
متن کاملDiscourse Parsing: Learning FOL Rules based on Rich Verb Semantic Representations to automatically label Rhetorical Relations
We report on our work to build a discourse parser (SemDP) that uses semantic features of sentences. We use an Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) System to exploit rich verb semantics of clauses to induce rules for discourse parsing. We demonstrate that ILP can be used to learn from highly structured natural language data and that the performance of a discourse parsing model that only uses semant...
متن کاملLearning Transformation Rules for Semantic Query Optimization: A Data-Driven Approach
Learning query transformation rules is vital for the success of semantic query optimization in domains where the user cannot provide a comprehensive set of integrity constraints. Finding these rules is a discovery task because of the lack of target. Previous approaches to learning query transformation rules have been based on analyzing past queries. We propose a new approach to learning query t...
متن کاملAbductive Matching in Question Answering
We study question-answering over semi-structured data. We introduce a new way to apply the technique of semantic parsing by applying machine learning only to provide annotations that the system infers to be missing; all the other parsing logic is in the form of manually authored rules. In effect, the machine learning is used to provide non-syntactic matches, a step that is ill-suited to manual ...
