Shallow Semantic Analysis of Interactive Learner Sentences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Focusing on applications for analyzing learner language which evaluate semantic appropriateness and accuracy, we collect data from a task which models some aspects of interaction, namely a picture description task (PDT). We parse responses to the PDT into dependency graphs with an an off-the-shelf parser, then use a decision tree to classify sentences into syntactic types and extract the logical subject, verb, and object, finding 92% accuracy in such extraction. The specific goal in this paper is to examine the challenges involved in extracting these simple semantic representations from interactive learner sentences.

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 کاملLearning Semantic Parsers Using Statistical Syntactic Parsing Techniques
Most recent work on semantic analysis of natural language has focused on “shallow” semantics such as word-sense disambiguation and semantic role labeling. Our work addresses a more ambitious task we call semantic parsing where natural language sentences are mapped to complete formal meaning representations. We present our system SCISSOR based on a statistical parser that generates a semanticall...
متن کاملMinimally Supervised Model of Early Language Acquisition
Theories of human language acquisition assume that learning to understand sentences is a partially-supervised task (at best). Instead of using ‘gold-standard’ feedback, we train a simplified “Baby” Semantic Role Labeling system by combining world knowledge and simple grammatical constraints to form a potentially noisy training signal. This combination of knowledge sources is vital for learning;...
متن کاملRetroactive Interference in the Recall of Simple Sentences.
A list of English sentences was learned by the method of free recall. Performance was scored both for sentences recalled precisely and for sentences recalled in content regardless of their syntactic form. Interpolated lists of sentences differing from the original list in syntactic details or in semantic form were used to produce retroactive inhibition (Rl). The Rl for semantic content was negl...
متن کاملFinding Answers to Definition Questions
Current researches on Question Answering concern more complex questions than factoid ones. Since definition questions are investigated by many researches, how to acquire accurate answers still becomes a core problem for definition QA. Although some systems use web knowledge bases to improve answer acquisition, we propose an approach that leverage them in an effective way. After summarizing defi...
