Understanding Negation in Positive Terms Using Syntactic Dependencies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a two-step procedure to extract positive meaning from verbal negation. We first generate potential positive interpretations manipulating syntactic dependencies. Then, we score them according to their likelihood. Manual annotations show that positive interpretations are ubiquitous and intuitive to humans. Experimental results show that dependencies are better suited than semantic roles for this task, and automation is possible.

An annotation scheme for Persian based on Autonomous Phrases Theory and Universal Dependencies
A treebank is a corpus with linguistic annotations above the level of the parts of speech. During the first half of the present decade, three treebanks have been developed for Persian either originally or subsequently based on dependency grammar: Persian Treebank (PerTreeBank), Persian Syntactic Dependency Treebank, and Uppsala Persian Dependency Treebank (UPDT). The syntactic analysis of a sen...
متن کاملNegative Inquisitiveness and Alternatives-Based Negation
We propose some fundamental requirements for the treatment of negative particles, positive/negative polar questions, and negative propositions, as they occur in dialogue with questions. We offer a view of negation that combines aspects of alternative semantics, intuitionist negation, and situation semantics. We formalize the account in TTR (a version of type theory with records) [6, 8]. Central...
متن کاملAnnotation of Gene Products in the Literature with Gene Ontology Terms Using Syntactic Dependencies
We present a method for annotating gene products in the literature automatically with the terms of Gene Ontology (GO), which provides a dynamic but controlled vocabulary. Although GO is well-organized with such lexical relations as synonymy, ‘is-a’, and ‘partof’ relations among its terms, GO terms show quite a high degree of morphological and syntactic variations in the literature. As opposed t...
متن کاملEffective Bio-Event Extraction Using Trigger Words and Syntactic Dependencies
The scientific literature is the main source for comprehensive, up-to-date biological knowledge. Automatic extraction of this knowledge facilitates core biological tasks, such as database curation and knowledge discovery. We present here a linguistically inspired, rule-based and syntax-driven methodology for biological event extraction. We rely on a dictionary of trigger words to detect and cha...
