Annie Zaenen and Dick Crouch: OBLs hobble computations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the problems created by the distinction between oblique arguments and adjuncts in general and in the XLE-based ParGram English grammar implementation. We argue that it is better to do away with the distinction for semantically marked obliques.

Precision-focused Textual Inference
This paper describes our system as used in the RTE3 task.1 The system maps premise and hypothesis pairs into an abstract knowledge representation (AKR) and then performs entailment and contradiction detection (ECD) on the resulting AKRs. Two versions of ECD were used in RTE3, one with strict ECD and one with looser ECD.
متن کاملTextual Inference Logic: Take Two
This note describes a logical system based on concepts and contexts, whose aim is to serve as a representation language for meanings of natural language sentences. The logic is a theoretical description of the output of an evolving implemented system, the system Bridge, which we are developing at parc, as part of the aquaint program. The note concentrates on the results of an experiment which c...
متن کاملCircumscribing is not excluding: A response to Manning
Manning [1] presents an extended critique of a paper by Zaenen, Karttunen and Crouch [2] (henceforth ZKC), which was a commentary on the PASCAL Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) challenge [3]. The ZKC paper was entitled “Local textual inference: can it be defined or circumscribed?” and argued that the PASCAL data should have been better defined and circumscribed so as to distinguish between ...
متن کاملExploiting F-structure Input for Sentence Condensation
In this paper, we describe the types of sentence condensation rules used in the sentence condensation of Riezler et al. 2003 in detail. We show how the distinctions made in LFG f-structures as to grammatical functions and features make it possible to state simple but accurate rules to create smaller, well-formed f-structures from which the condensed sentence can be generated.
متن کاملLocal Textual Inference: Can It Be Defined Or Circumscribed?
This paper argues that local textual inferences come in three well-defined varieties (entailments, conventional implicatures/presuppositions, and conversational implicatures) and one less clearly defined one, generally available world knowledge. Based on this taxonomy, it discusses some of the examples in the PASCAL text suite and shows that these examples do not fall into any of them. It propo...
