Sense Disambiguation for Preposition ‘with’
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sense disambiguation for prepositions is used within a paraphrase recognition system. ‘With’ is chosen to explore our approach of using information from WordNet (hypernym and meronym relations) and LCS (verb lexical information); similar concepts can be used for other prepositions. This paper describes the senses of ‘with’, the disambiguation model, evaluation process, and results.

MELB-YB: Preposition Sense Disambiguation Using Rich Semantic Features
This paper describes a maxent-based preposition sense disambiguation system entry to the preposition sense disambiguation task of the SemEval 2007. This system uses a wide variety of semantic and syntactic features to perform the disambiguation task and achieves a precision of 69.3% over the test data.
متن کاملModels and Training for Unsupervised Preposition Sense Disambiguation
We present a preliminary study on unsupervised preposition sense disambiguation (PSD), comparing different models and training techniques (EM, MAP-EM with L0 norm, Bayesian inference using Gibbs sampling). To our knowledge, this is the first attempt at unsupervised preposition sense disambiguation. Our best accuracy reaches 56%, a significant improvement (at p <.001) of 16% over the most-freque...
متن کاملWhat's in a Preposition? Dimensions of Sense Disambiguation for an Interesting Word Class
Choosing the right parameters for a word sense disambiguation task is critical to the success of the experiments. We explore this idea for prepositions, an often overlooked word class. We examine the parameters that must be considered in preposition disambiguation, namely context, features, and granularity. Doing so delivers an increased performance that significantly improves over two state-of...
متن کاملPreposition Senses: Generalized Disambiguation Model
Our previous study on disambiguating the preposition “with” (using WordNet for hypernym and meronym relations, LCS for verb and preposition lexical information, and features of head and complement) looked promising enough to warrant study for other prepositions. Through investigation of ten frequently used prepositions, this paper describes general senses of prepositions and sense-case definiti...
متن کاملExploiting Semantic Role Resources for Preposition Disambiguation
This article describes how semantic role resources can be exploited for preposition disambiguation. The main resources include the semantic role annotations provided by the Penn Treebank and FrameNet tagged corpora. The resources also include the assertions contained in the Factotum knowledge base, as well as information from Cyc and Conceptual Graphs. A common inventory is derived from these i...
متن کاملSemi Supervised Preposition-Sense Disambiguation using Multilingual Data
Prepositions are very common and very ambiguous, and understanding their sense is critical for understanding the meaning of the sentence. Supervised corpora for the preposition-sense disambiguation task are small, suggesting a semi-supervised approach to the task. We show that signals from unannotated multilingual data can be used to improve supervised prepositionsense disambiguation. Our appro...
