Tagging Semantic Types for Verb Argument Positions
نویسندگان
چکیده
English. Verb argument positions can be described by the semantic types that characterise the words filling that position. We investigate a number of linguistic issues underlying the tagging of an Italian corpus with the semantic types provided by the T-PAS (Typed Predicate Argument Structure) resource. We report both quantitative data about the tagging and a qualitative analysis of cases of disagreement between two annotators. Italiano. Le posizioni argomentali di un verbo possono essere descritte dai tipi semantici che caratterizzano le parole che riempiono quella posizione. Nel contributo affrontiamo alcune problematiche linguistiche sottostanti l’annotazione di un corpus italiano con i tipi semantici usati nella risorsa T-PAS (Typed Predicate Argument Structure). Riportiamo sia dati quantitativi relativi all’annotazione, sia una analisi qualitativa dei casi di disaccordo tra due annotatori.

Unsupervised Argument Identification for Semantic Role Labeling
The task of Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) is often divided into two sub-tasks: verb argument identification, and argument classification. Current SRL algorithms show lower results on the identification sub-task. Moreover, most SRL algorithms are supervised, relying on large amounts of manually created data. In this paper we present an unsupervised algorithm for identifying verb arguments, where ...
متن کاملA Computational Usage-Based Model for Learning General Properties of Semantic Roles
We present a Bayesian model of early verb learning that acquires a general conception of the semantic roles of predicates based only on exposure to individual verb usages. The model forms probabilistic associations between the semantic properties of arguments, their syntactic positions, and the semantic primitives of verbs. Because of the model’s Bayesian formulation, the roles naturally shift ...
متن کاملDeveloping a Semantic Similarity Judgment Test for Persian Action Verbs and Non-action Nouns in Patients With Brain Injury and Determining its Content Validity
Objective: Brain trauma evidences suggest that the two grammatical categories of noun and verb are processed in different regions of the brain due to differences in the complexity of grammatical and semantic information processing. Studies have shown that the verbs belonging to different semantic categories lead to neural activity in different areas of the brain, and action verb processing is r...
متن کاملThree-Level Knowledge Representation of Predicate-Argument Mapping for Multilingual Lexicons
Constructing a semantic concept hierarchy covers only part of the problem in building any knowledgebased natural language processing (NLP) system: Language understanding requires mapping from syntactic structures into conceptual (i.e. interlingua) representation (henceforth verb-argument mapping), while language generation requires the inverse mapping. Jacobs [13] proposed a solution in which h...
متن کاملComposing and Updating Verb Argument Expectations: A Distributional Semantic Model
The aim of this paper is to present a computational model of the dynamic composition and update of verb argument expectations using Distributional Memory, a state-of-the-art framework for distributional semantics. The experimental results conducted on psycholinguistic data sets show that the model is able to successfully predict the changes on the patient argument thematic fit produced by diffe...
