Adapting Decision Trees for Learning Selectional Restrictions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the implementation of a system that automatically learns selectional restrictions for individual senses of polysemous verbs from subject-object relationships. The selectional restrictions are inferred from an adaptation of decision tree induction, and are bound to the syntactic relations that realize them as part of a move toward automated construction of verb predicates.

On Learning more Appropriate Selectional Restrictions
We present some variations affecting the association measure and thresholding on a technique for learning Selectional Restrictions from on-line corpora. It uses a wide-coverage noun taxonomy and a statistical measure to generalize the appropriate semantic classes. Evaluation measures for the Selectional Restrictions learning task are discussed. Finally, an experimental evaluation of these varia...
متن کاملAn Experiment On Learning Appropriate Selectional Restrictions From A Parsed Corpus
We present a methodology to extract Selectional Restrictions at a variable level of abstraction from phrasally analyzed corpora. The method relays in the use of a wide-coverage noun taxonomy and a statistical measure of the co-occurrence of linguistic items. Some experimental results about the performance of the method are provided.

متن کاملUnsupervised Learning of Selectional Restrictions and Detection of Argument Coercions
Metonymic language is a pervasive phenomenon. Metonymic type shifting, or argument type coercion, results in a selectional restriction violation where the argument’s semantic class differs from the class the predicate expects. In this paper we present an unsupervised method that learns the selectional restriction of arguments and enables the detection of argument coercion. This method also gene...
متن کاملModeling selectional restrictions in a relational type system
Selectional restrictions are semantic constraints on forming certain complex types in natural language. The paper gives an overview of modeling selectional restrictions in a relational type systemwith morphological and syntactic types. We discuss some foundations of the system and ways of formalizing selectional restrictions.
