Precise Information Retrieval Exploiting Predicate-Argument Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
A concept can be linguistically expressed in various syntactic constructions. Such syntactic variations spoil the effectiveness of incorporating dependencies between words into information retrieval systems. This paper presents an information retrieval method for normalizing syntactic variations via predicate-argument structures. We conduct experiments on standard test collections and show the effectiveness of our approach. Our proposed method significantly outperforms a baseline method based on word dependencies.

A Semantic Kernel for Predicate Argument Classification
Automatically deriving semantic structures from text is a challenging task for machine learning. The flat feature representations, usually used in learning models, can only partially describe structured data. This makes difficult the processing of the semantic information that is embedded into parse-trees. In this paper a new kernel for automatic classification of predicate arguments has been d...
متن کاملJapanese Predicate Argument Structure Analysis Exploiting Argument Position and Type
We propose an approach to Japanese predicate argument structure analysis exploiting argument position and type. In particular, we propose the following two methods. First, in order to use information in the sentences in preceding context of the predicate more effectively, we propose an improved similarity measure between argument positions which is more robust than a previous co-reference-based...
متن کاملLinking Flat Predicate Argument Structures
This report presents an approach to enriching flat and robust predicate argument structures with more fine-grained semantic information, extracted from underspecified semantic representations and encoded in Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS). Such representations are provided by a hand-built HPSG grammar with a wide linguistic coverage. A specific semantic representation, called linked predicate...
متن کاملUsing Predicate-Argument Structures for Information Extraction
In this paper we present a novel, customizable IE paradigm that takes advantage of predicate-argument structures. We also introduce a new way of automatically identifying predicate argument structures, which is central to our IE paradigm. It is based on: (1) an extended set of features; and (2) inductive decision tree learning. The experimental results prove our claim that accurate predicate-ar...
متن کاملModeling Syntactic and Semantic Structures in Hierarchical Phrase-based Translation
Incorporating semantic structure into a linguistics-free translation model is challenging, since semantic structures are closely tied to syntax. In this paper, we propose a two-level approach to exploiting predicate-argument structure reordering in a hierarchical phrase-based translation model. First, we introduce linguistically motivated constraints into a hierarchical model, guiding translati...
