A SEMANTIC COPYING MODEL FORUNDERSTANDING COMPARATIVESSte

چکیده
We propose a model of computational semantic interpretation of comparatives which is based on a mechanism for semantic copying. While the treatment of phrasal and clausal forms of comparatives we give is in line with previous approaches to their semantic description, our model also incorporates the analysis of textual phenomena that interact with the interpretation of comparatives, viz. metonymies, tex-tual ellipses and omitted complements. In order to allow for eecient processing (non-)heuristic guidance from syntactic, semantic, contextual, and world knowledge sources is supplied. An empirical evaluation demonstrates the current scope of our proposal.

Code-Copying in the Balochi Language of Sistan
This empirical study deals with language contact phenomena in Sistan. Code-copying is viewed as a strategy of linguistic behavior when a dominated language acquires new elements in lexicon, phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatic organization, etc., which can be interpreted as copies of a dominating language. In this framework Persian is regarded as the model code which provides elements for b...

We propose a model of semantic interpretation of comparatives which is based on a mechanism for semantic copying. Besides common phrasal and clausal forms of comparatives, our model also incorporates the analysis of referential and textual phenomena that interact with the interpretation of comparatives, viz. metonymies and omitted complements. In order to allow for efficient processing, guidanc...
متن کاملData Recombination for Neural Semantic Parsing
Modeling crisp logical regularities is crucial in semantic parsing, making it difficult for neural models with no task-specific prior knowledge to achieve good results. In this paper, we introduce data recombination, a novel framework for injecting such prior knowledge into a model. From the training data, we induce a highprecision synchronous context-free grammar, which captures important cond...
متن کاملAHP Techniques for Trust Evaluation in Semantic Web
The increasing reliance on information gathered from the web and other internet technologies raise the issue of trust. Through the development of semantic Web, One major difficulty is that, by its very nature, the semantic web is a large, uncensored system to which anyone may contribute. This raises the question of how much credence to give each resource. Each user knows the trustworthiness of ...
متن کاملSemantic net based hypertext for authoring and reuse
The study of hypertext covers a multidisciplinary scientific and technological domain, and addresses the theories, principles, techniques and tools to structure, manage and use information in electronic format. The modularity of information units and the flexibility in organising these units make hypertext also appropriate for document reuse. A conceptual framework developed for software reuse ...
