MELB-YB: Preposition Sense Disambiguation Using Rich Semantic Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Disambiguating Prepositions for Machine Translation using Lexical Semantic Resources
In this paper, the problem of mapping prepositions in the context of machine translation is discussed. For instance, each sense of a polysemous English preposition maps to a different lexical postposition in Hindi. In a fully automatic machine translation system this problem may be resolved in at least two ways-using transfer rules with semantic features or mapping the preposition to an underly...
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 کاملJoint Learning of Preposition Senses and Semantic Roles of Prepositional Phrases
The sense of a preposition is related to the semantics of its dominating prepositional phrase. Knowing the sense of a preposition could help to correctly classify the semantic role of the dominating prepositional phrase and vice versa. In this paper, we propose a joint probabilistic model for word sense disambiguation of prepositions and semantic role labeling of prepositional phrases. Our expe...
متن کاملPreposition Disambiguation: Still a Problem
Considerable recent progress has been made in preposition disambiguation using the SemEval 2007 corpus, with results reaching accuracy of over 88 percent. However, with a new corpus of tagged instances, use of the models shows a decline in performance to around 43 percent. This suggests that recent efforts suffer from an out-of-domain problem. Detailed examination of the dimensions of this prob...
متن کاملDisambiguation of Preposition Sense Using Linguistically Motivated Features
In this paper, we present a supervised classification approach for disambiguation of preposition senses. We use the SemEval 2007 Preposition Sense Disambiguation datasets to evaluate our system and compare its results to those of the systems participating in the workshop. We derived linguistically motivated features from both sides of the preposition. Instead of restricting these to a fixed win...
