A Two-level Strategy for Parsing Procedural Texts
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents ongoing work dedicated to parsing the textual structure of procedural texts. This work is based on a two level approach: first, basic structures in texts are segmented using automata techniques and then a text grammar is applied to assemble these fragments. The grammar is based on X-bar syntax, transposed to text structure.

Investigating the Structure of Procedural Texts for Answering How-to Questions
This paper presents ongoing work dedicated to parsing the textual structure of procedural texts. We propose here a model for the intructional structure and criteria to identify its main components: titles, instructions, warnings and prerequisites. The main aim of this project, besides a contribution to text processing, is to be able to answer procedural questions (How-to? questions), where the ...
متن کاملTextual Expertise In Word Experts: An Approach To Text Parsing Based On Topic/Comment Monitoring
In this paper prototype versions of two word experts for text analysis are dealt with which demonstrate that word experts are a feasible tool for parsing texts on the level of text cohesion as well as text coherence. The analysis is based on two major knowledge sources: context information is modelled in terms of a frame knowledge base, while the co-text keeps record of the linear sequencing of...
متن کاملA Framework for Procedural Text Understanding
In this paper we propose a framework for procedural text understanding. Procedural texts are relatively clear without modality nor dependence on viewpoints, etc. and have many potential applications in artificial intelligence. Thus they are suitable as the first target of natural language understanding. As our framework we extend parsing technologies to connect important concepts in a text. Our...
متن کاملComparative Critical Reading Strategy and Writing Achievement of Iranian EFL Learners
The present study was undertaken to investigate the impact of comparative critical reading strategy on the writing ability of Iranian learners who were learning English as a foreign language (EFL). In order to carry on the study, 60 participants (25 males and 35 females aged between 19 to 27) at intermediate level of language proficiency were randomly assigned to two groups; that is, the experi...
متن کاملDependency Parsing: Past, Present, and Future
Dependency parsing has gained more and more interest in natural language processing in recent years due to its simplicity and general applicability for diverse languages. The international conference of computational natural language learning (CoNLL) has organized shared tasks on multilingual dependency parsing successively from 2006 to 2009, which leads to extensive progress on dependency pars...
