UConcordia: CLaC Negation Focus Detection at *Sem 2012
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simply detecting negation cues is not sufficient to determine the semantics of negation, scope and focus must be taken into account. While scope detection has recently seen repeated attention, the linguistic notion of focus is only now being introduced into computational work. The *Sem2012 Shared Task is pioneering this effort by introducing a suitable dataset and annotation guidelines. CLaC’s NegFocus system is a solid baseline approach to the task.

CLaC Labs: Processing Modality and Negation. Working Notes for QA4MRE Pilot Task at CLEF 2012
For the QA4MRE 2012 Pilot Task on Negation and Modality, CLaC Labs implemented a general, lightweight negation and modality module based on linguistic rules. The strong results confirm the suitability of linguistic heuristics for low-level semantic features and showcase their robustness across the different subgenres of the QA4MRE corpora.
متن کاملFBK: Exploiting Phrasal and Contextual Clues for Negation Scope Detection
Automatic detection of negation cues along with their scope and corresponding negated events is an important task that could benefit other natural language processing (NLP) tasks such as extraction of factual information from text, sentiment analysis, etc. This paper presents a system for this task that exploits phrasal and contextual clues apart from various token specific features. The system...
متن کاملUMichigan: A Conditional Random Field Model for Resolving the Scope of Negation
In this paper, we present a system for detecting negation in English text. We address three tasks: negation cue detection, negation scope resolution and negated event identification. We pose these tasks as sequence labeling problems. For each task, we train a Conditional Random Field (CRF) model on lexical, structural, and syntactic features extracted from labeled data. The models are trained a...
متن کاملUABCoRAL: A Preliminary study for Resolving the Scope of Negation
This paper describes our participation in the closed track of the *SEM 2012 Shared Task of finding the scope of negation. To perform the task, we propose a system that has three components: negation cue detection, scope of negation detection, and negated event detection. In the first phase, the system creates a lexicon of negation signals from the training data and uses the lexicon to identify ...
متن کامل*SEM 2012 Shared Task: Resolving the Scope and Focus of Negation
The Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics (*SEM) each year hosts a shared task on semantic related topics. In its first edition held in 2012, the shared task was dedicated to resolving the scope and focus of negation. This paper presents the specifications, datasets and evaluation criteria of the task. An overview of participating systems is provided and their results are summ...
