Acquiring Strongly-related Events using Predicate-argument Co-occurring Statistics and Case Frames
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a method for automatically acquiring strongly-related events from a large corpus using predicateargument co-occurring statistics and case frames. The strongly-related events are acquired in the form of strongly-related two predicates with their relevant arguments. First, strongly-related events are acquired from predicate-argument cooccurring statistics. Then, the remaining argument alignment is performed by using case frames. We conducted experiments using a Web corpus consisting of 1.6G sentences. The accuracy for the extracted event pairs was 96%, and the accuracy of the argument alignment was 79%. The number of acquired event pairs was about 20 thousands.

Acquiring Reliable Predicate-argument Structures from Raw Corpora for Case Frame Compilation
We present a method for acquiring reliable predicate-argument structures from raw corpora for automatic compilation of case frames. Such lexicon compilation requires highly reliable predicate-argument structures to practically contribute to Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, such as paraphrasing, text entailment, and machine translation. We first apply chunking to raw corpora and t...

متن کاملPresenting a method for extracting structured domain-dependent information from Farsi Web pages
Extracting structured information about entities from web texts is an important task in web mining, natural language processing, and information extraction. Information extraction is useful in many applications including search engines, question-answering systems, recommender systems, machine translation, etc. An information extraction system aims to identify the entities from the text and extr...
متن کاملTwo-Phased Event Relation Acquisition: Coupling the Relation-Oriented and Argument-Oriented Approaches
Addressing the task of acquiring semantic relations between events from a large corpus, we first argue the complementarity between the pattern-based relation-oriented approach and the anchor-based argumentoriented approach. We then propose a twophased approach, which first uses lexicosyntactic patterns to acquire predicate pairs and then uses two types of anchors to identify shared arguments. T...
متن کاملThe (Non)Utility of Predicate-Argument Frequencies for Pronoun Interpretation
State-of-the-art pronoun interpretation systems rely predominantly on morphosyntactic contextual features. While the use of deep knowledge and inference to improve these models would appear technically infeasible, previous work has suggested that predicate-argument statistics mined from naturally-occurring data could provide a useful approximation to such knowledge. We test this idea in several...
