Relational Learning for NLP using Linear Threshold Elements

چکیده
We describe a coherent view of learning and reasoning with relational representations in the context of natural language processing. In particular, we discuss the Neuroidal Architecture, Inductive Logic Programming and the SNoW system explaining the relationships among these, and thereby offer an explanation of the theoretical basis for the SNoW system. We suggest that extensions of this system along the lines suggested by the theory may provide new levels of scalability and functionality.

Markov Logic in Natural Language Processing: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications
Natural languages are characterized by rich relational structures and tight integration with world knowledge. As the field of NLP/CL moves towards more complex and challenging tasks, there has been increasing interest in applying joint inference to leverage such relations and prior knowledge. Recent work in statistical relational learning (a.k.a. structured prediction) has shown that joint infe...
متن کاملStatistical Relational Learning for Natural Language Information Extraction
1.1 Introduction Understanding natural language presents many challenging problems that lend themselves to statistical relational learning (SRL). Historically, both logical and probabilistic methods have found wide application in natural language processing (NLP). NLP inevitably involves reasoning about an arbitrary number of entities (people, places, and things) that have an unbounded set of c...

Information extraction (IE) is a process of automatically providing a structured representation from an unstructured or semi-structured text. It is a long-standing challenge in natural language processing (NLP) which has been intensified by the increased volume of information and heterogeneity, and non-structured form of it. One of the core information extraction tasks is relation extraction wh...

Prerequisites: No prior knowledge of statistical relational learning is required. Abstract: Statistical Relational Learning (SRL) is an interdisciplinary research area that combines firstorder logic and machine learning methods for probabilistic inference. Although many Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks (including text classification, semantic parsing, information extraction, coreferenc...
متن کاملThe Data-Oriented Parsing Approach: Theory and Application
Parsing models have many applications in AI, ranging from natural language processing (NLP) and computational music analysis to logic programming and computational learning. Broadly conceived, a parsing model seeks to uncover the underlying structure of an input, that is, the various ways in which elements of the input combine to form phrases or constituents and how those phrases recursively co...
