Motion induced Animacy Perception as Optimal Inference
We often attribute the state of mind to inanimate things. This type of perception is called animacy perception. animacy perception is thought to be a part of theory of mind module as Fodor’s sense and is attracted much attention in function to social perception. Animacy perception was once said to be misleading perception because it was automatically triggered by inanimate thing. The range of p...
متن کاملHow intonation constrains pragmatic inference
In this paper, we present two experiments that investigate how intonation can constrain pragmatic inference. While prior research has shown that intonation can increase the likelihood of an inference being made, less is known about how it affects the mechanisms involved in processing of inferences. In the first experiment, listeners had more direct mouse paths towards target responses for stron...
متن کاملSeed-Based Event Trigger Labeling: How far can event descriptions get us?
The task of event trigger labeling is typically addressed in the standard supervised setting: triggers for each target event type are annotated as training data, based on annotation guidelines. We propose an alternative approach, which takes the example trigger terms mentioned in the guidelines as seeds, and then applies an eventindependent similarity-based classifier for trigger labeling. This...
متن کاملAnimacy Encoding In English: Why And How
We report on two recent medium-scale initiatives annotating present day English corpora for animacy distinctions. We discuss the relevance of animacy for computational linguistics, specifically generation, the annotation categories used in the two studies and the interannotator reliability for one of the studies.
متن کاملLearning Event Durations from Event Descriptions
We have constructed a corpus of news articles in which events are annotated for estimated bounds on their duration. Here we describe a method for measuring inter-annotator agreement for these event duration distributions. We then show that machine learning techniques applied to this data yield coarse-grained event duration information, considerably outperforming a baseline and approaching human...
