Minimally Supervised Event Causality Identification

چکیده
This paper develops a minimally supervised approach, based on focused distributional similarity methods and discourse connectives, for identifying of causality relations between events in context. While it has been shown that distributional similarity can help identifying causality, we observe that discourse connectives and the particular discourse relation they evoke in context provide additional information towards determining causality between events. We show that combining discourse relation predictions and distributional similarity methods in a global inference procedure provides additional improvements towards determining event causality.

Comparing minimally supervised home-based and closely supervised gym-based exercise programs in weight reduction and insulin resistance after bariatric surgery: A randomized clinical trial
Background: Effectiveness of various exercise protocols in weight reduction after bariatric surgery has not been sufficiently explored in the literature. Thus, in the present study, we aimed at comparing the effect of minimally supervised home-based and closely supervised gym-based exercise programs on weight reduction and insulin resistance after bariatric surgery. &n...
متن کاملMinimally Supervised Event Argument Extraction using Universal Schema
The prediction of events and their participants is an important component of building a knowledge base automatically from text. Typically, the events of interest are domain-specific and not known in advance, and so it is often the case that little or no training data is available to learn the appropriate predictors. In this work, we propose a technique for distantly supervised event argument ex...
متن کاملRecognizing Causality in Verb-Noun Pairs via Noun and Verb Semantics
Several supervised approaches have been proposed for causality identification by relying on shallow linguistic features. However, such features do not lead to improved performance. Therefore, novel sources of knowledge are required to achieve progress on this problem. In this paper, we propose a model for the recognition of causality in verb-noun pairs by employing additional types of knowledge...
متن کاملNetwork application profiling with traffic causality graphs
A network application profiling framework is proposed that is based on traffic causality graphs (TCGs), representing temporal and spatial causality of flows to identify application programs. The proposed framework consists of three modules: the feature vector space construction using discriminative patterns extracted from TCGs by a graph-mining algorithm; a feature vector supervised learning pr...
متن کاملA Minimally-Supervised Malay Affix Learner
This paper presents a minimally-supervised system capable of learning Malay affixation. In particular, the algorithm we describe focuses on identifying p-similar words, and building an affix inventory using a semantic-based approach. We believe that orthographic and semantic analyzes play complementary roles in extracting morphological relationships from text corpora. Using a limited Malay corp...
