Deduction over Mixed-Level Logic Representations for Text Passage Retrieval
نویسنده
چکیده
A system is described that uses a mixed-level representation of (part of) the meaning of natural language documents (based on standard Horn Clause Logic) and a variable-depth search strategy that distinguishes between the different levels of abstraction in the knowledge representation to locate specific passages in the documents. Mixed-level representations as well as variabledepth search strategies are applicable in fields outside that of NLP.

متن کاملUMass at TREC 2004: Novelty and HARD
For the TREC 2004 Novelty track, UMass participated in all four tasks. Although finding relevant sentences was harder this year than last, we continue to show marked improvements over the baseline of calling all sentences relevant, with a variant of tfidf being the most successful approach. We achieve 5–9% improvements over the baseline in locating novel sentences, primarily by looking at the s...
متن کاملTowards Developing Probabilistic Generative Models for Reasoning with Natural Language Representations
Probabilistic generative models have been applied successfully in a wide range of applications that range from speech recognition and part of speech tagging, to machine translation and information retrieval, but, traditionally, applications such as reasoning have been thought to fall outside the scope of the generative framework for both theoretical and practical reasons. Theoretically, it is d...
متن کاملA Hybrid Embedding Approach to Noisy Answer Passage Retrieval
Answer passage retrieval is an increasingly important information retrieval task as queries become more precise and mobile and audio interfaces more prevalent. In this task, the goal is to retrieve a contiguous series of sentences (a passage) that concisely addresses the information need expressed in the query. Recent work with deep learning has shown the efficacy of distributed text representa...
متن کاملEnhancing Retrieval Effectiveness of Diacritisized Arabic Passages Using Stemmer and Thesaurus
In this paper we discuss the enhancement of Arabic passage retrieval for both diacritisized and nondiacritisized text. Most previous work suggested that retrieval start with pre-processing the Arabic text to remove the diacritical marks (short vowels) to unify the text. In most cases, this process causes considerable ambiguity at the word level in the absence of context. However, searching for ...
