RDI_Team at SemEval-2016 Task 3: RDI Unsupervised Framework for Text Ranking
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ranking is an important task in the field of information retrieval. Ranking may be used in different modules in natural language processing such as search engines. In this paper, we introduce a competitive ranking system which combines three different modules. The system participated in SemEval 2016 question ranking task for the Arabic language. The task is a ranking task that targets reordering results retrieved from search engine. Results reordering is done based on relevancy between search result and the original query issued. The data provided in the competition is in the form of question (query) and 30 question answer pairs retrieved from search engine. For each question retrieved from the search engine the system generates a relevancy score that is to be used for ranking. The proposed system came in the third position in the Competition. Since the majority of modules are unsupervised the unsupervised naming was used.

COLEPL and COLSLM: An Unsupervised WSD Approach to Multilingual Lexical Substitution, Tasks 2 and 3 SemEval 2010
In this paper, we present a word sense disambiguation (WSD) based system for multilingual lexical substitution. Our method depends on having a WSD system for English and an automatic word alignment method. Crucially the approach relies on having parallel corpora. For Task 2 (Sinha et al., 2009) we apply a supervised WSD system to derive the English word senses. For Task 3 (Lefever & Hoste, 2009...
متن کاملUNBNLP at SemEval-2016 Task 1: Semantic Textual Similarity: A Unified Framework for Semantic Processing and Evaluation
In this paper we consider several approaches to predicting semantic textual similarity using word embeddings, as well as methods for forming embeddings for larger units of text. We compare these methods to several baselines, and find that none of them outperform the baselines. We then consider both a supervised and unsupervised approach to combining these methods which achieve modest improvemen...

Community question answering platforms need to automatically rank answers and questions with respect to a given question. In this paper, we present the approaches for the Answer Selection and Question Retrieval tasks of SemEval-2016 (task 3). We develop a bag-of-vectors approach with various vectorand text-based features, and different neural network approaches including CNNs and LSTMs to captu...

In this paper we are reporting the results obtained participating in the “Evaluating Word Sense Induction and Discrimination Systems” task of Semeval 2007. Our totally unsupervised system performed an automatic self-term expansion process by mean of co-ocurrence terms and, thereafter, it executed the unsupervised KStar clustering method. Two ranking tables with different evaluation measures wer...
متن کاملUnsupervised Methods to Improve Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis in Czech
We examine the effectiveness of several unsupervised methods for latent semantics discovery as features for aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA). We use the shared task definition from SemEval 2014. In our experiments we use labeled and unlabeled corpora within the restaurants domain for two languages: Czech and English. We show that our models improve the ABSA performance and prove that our ...
