Token-level Disambiguation of VerbNet classes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The automatic disambiguation of verbs in domain independent text becomes more and more important for applications such as Machine Translation, Text Summarization, and Question Answering, mainly because verbs play a key factor in the syntactic and semantic interpretation of sentences. In this paper we present a system for the automatic classification of token verbs in context based on VerbNet classes. A supervised machine learning classifier is trained and tested on a portion of PropBank using a set of lexical and syntactic features.

A Maximum Entropy Approach To Disambiguating VerbNet Classes
This paper focuses on verb sense disambiguation cast as inferring the VerbNet class to which a verb belongs. To train three different supervised learning models –Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt), Naive Bayes and Decision Tree– we used lexical, co-occurrence and typed-dependency features. For each model, we built three classifiers: one single classifier for all verbs, one single classifier for polysemou...
متن کاملA Supervised Algorithm for Verb Disambiguation into VerbNet Classes
VerbNet (VN) is a major large-scale English verb lexicon. Mapping verb instances to their VN classes has been proven useful for several NLP tasks. However, verbs are polysemous with respect to their VN classes. We introduce a novel supervised learning model for mapping verb instances to VN classes, using rich syntactic features and class membership constraints. We evaluate the algorithm in both...
متن کاملFrom Treebank to Propbank: A Semantic-Role and VerbNet Corpus for Danish
This paper presents the first version of a Danish Propbank/VerbNet corpus, annotated at both the morphosyntactic, dependency and semantic levels. Both verbal and nominal predications were tagged with frames consisting of a VerbNet class and semantic role-labeled arguments and satellites. As a second semantic annotation layer, the corpus was tagged with both a noun ontology and NER classes. Draw...
متن کاملComputational Lexicography and Lexicology A Large-Scale Extension of VerbNet with Novel Verb Classes
Lexical classifications have proved useful in supporting various linguistic and natural language processing (NLP) tasks. The largest verb classification in English is Levin's (1993) work. VerbNet (Kipper-Schuler 2006) the largest computational verb lexicon currently available for English provides detailed syntactic-semantic descriptions of Levin classes. While the classes included are extensive...
متن کاملMapping between Compositional Semantic Representations and Lexical Semantic Resources: Towards Accurate Deep Semantic Parsing
This paper introduces a machine learning method based on bayesian networks which is applied to the mapping between deep semantic representations and lexical semantic resources. A probabilistic model comprising Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS) structures and lexicalist oriented semantic features is acquired. Lexical semantic roles enriching the MRS structures are inferred, which are useful to i...
