Polarized dependency (PD-) grammars are proposed as a means of efficient treatment of discontinuous constructions. PD-grammars describe two kinds of dependencies : local, explicitly derived by the rules, and long, implicitly specified by negative and positive valencies of words. If in a PD-grammar the number of non-saturated valencies in derived structures is bounded by a constant, then it is w...

This Guideline had been developed by the Quality Assurance Sub-committee, COC in Paediatrics and the expert authors for the Hospital Authority according to the state of medical knowledge at the time of publication. It has been established that doctors can act in accordance with a practice accepted as proper by a responsible body of medical opinion even though others may adopt a different practi...

Wendy Lehnert (UMass) presented a view of the coreference problem from the perspective of machine learning, i n particular, the idea of treating coreference as classification . To pursue this view, the overall coreference proble m needs to be broken up into sub-problems of the appropriate granularity that are amenable to machine-learnin g paradigms. Once a problem is identified, some of the iss...

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between case and free word order in Korean by providing proper LP constraints which solve the problems of the previous analyses such as Kuno's (1980) Crossing-Over Constraint (COC). Based on Cho & Chai (2000), we introduce a new type marker which includes case, postpositions, and delimiters. We also add the Adjunct LP Constraint and the A...

This paper describes our approach to managing multiword expressions in Sentitext, a linguistically-motivated, lexicon-based Sentiment Analysis (SA) system for Spanish whose performance is largely determined by its coverage of MWEs. We defend the view that multiword constructions play a fundamental role in lexical Sentiment Analysis, in at least three ways. First, a significant proportion convey...

General-purpose reasoning based on knowledge encoded in natural language, requires mapping this knowledge out of its syntax-dependent form into a more general representation that can be more flexibly applied and manipulated. We have created a system that accomplishes this in a variety of cases via mapping English syntactic expressions into predicate and term logic expressions, which can then be...
