IIRG: A Naive Approach to Evaluating Phrasal Semantics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the IIRG 1 system entered in SemEval-2013, the 7th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation. We participated in Task 5 Evaluating Phrasal Semantics. We have adopted a token-based approach to solve this task using 1) Naı̈ve Bayes methods and 2) Word Overlap methods, both of which rely on the extraction of syntactic features. We found that the word overlap method significantly out-performs the Naı̈ve Bayes methods, achieving our highest overall score with an accuracy of approximately 78%.

SemEval-2013 Task 5: Evaluating Phrasal Semantics
This paper describes the SemEval-2013 Task 5: “Evaluating Phrasal Semantics”. Its first subtask is about computing the semantic similarity of words and compositional phrases of minimal length. The second one addresses deciding the compositionality of phrases in a given context. The paper discusses the importance and background of these subtasks and their structure. In succession, it introduces ...
متن کاملClaC: Semantic Relatedness of Words and Phrases
The measurement of phrasal semantic relatedness is an important metric for many natural language processing applications. In this paper, we present three approaches for measuring phrasal semantics, one based on a semantic network model, another on a distributional similarity model, and a hybrid between the two. Our hybrid approach achieved an Fmeasure of 77.4% on the task of evaluating the sema...
متن کاملUCD IIRG Approach to the Textual Entailment Challenge
This report outlines the approach taken by members of the IIRG at University College Dublin in the PASCAL Textual Entailment Challenge 2005. Our technique measures the semantic equivalence of each text/hypothesis pair by examining both linguistic and statistical features in these sentences using a decision tree classifier.
متن کاملAspects of descriptive, referential, and information structure in phrasal semantics
Phrasal semantics is concerned with how the meaning of a sentence is composed both from the meaning of the constituent words, and from extra meaning contained within the structural organization of the sentence itself. In this context, grammatical constructions correspond to form-meaning mappings that essentially capture this “extra” meaning and allow its representation. The current research exa...
متن کاملA principled Cognitive Linguistics account of English phrasal verbs with up and out *
Many attempts have been made to discover some systematicity in the semantics of phrasal verbs. However, most research has investigated the semantics of particles exclusively; no study has examined how the multiple meanings of the verb also contribute to the meanings of phrasal verbs. The current corpus-based (COCA) study advances the research on phrasal verbs by examining the interaction of the...
