A Hybrid Approach to Deriving Selectional Preferences
نویسندگان
چکیده
A hybrid approach to automatic derivation of class-based selectional preferences is proposed. A lexicon of selectional preferences can assist in handling several forms of ambiguity, a major problem for MT. The approach combines knowledge-rich parsing and lexicons, with statistics and corpus data. We illustrate the use of a selectional preference lexicon for anaphora resolution.

Dgfs-cl Comparing Computational Models of Selectional Preferences – Second-order Co-occurrence vs. Latent Semantic Clusters
Selectional preferences (i.e., semantic restrictions on the realisation of predicate complements) are of great interest to research in Computational Linguistics, both from a lexicographic and from an applied (wrt data sparseness) perspective. This poster presents a comparison of three computational approaches to selectional preferences: (i) an intuitive distributional approach that uses second-...
متن کاملA Random Walk Approach to Selectional Preferences Based on Preference Ranking and Propagation
This paper presents an unsupervised random walk approach to alleviate data sparsity for selectional preferences. Based on the measure of preferences between predicates and arguments, the model aggregates all the transitions from a given predicate to its nearby predicates, and propagates their argument preferences as the given predicate’s smoothed preferences. Experimental results show that this...
متن کاملA Neural Network Approach to Selectional Preference Acquisition
This paper investigates the use of neural networks for the acquisition of selectional preferences. Inspired by recent advances of neural network models for nlp applications, we propose a neural network model that learns to discriminate between felicitous and infelicitous arguments for a particular predicate. The model is entirely unsupervised – preferences are learned from unannotated corpus da...
متن کاملExploiting Web-Derived Selectional Preference to Improve Statistical Dependency Parsing
In this paper, we present a novel approach which incorporates the web-derived selectional preferences to improve statistical dependency parsing. Conventional selectional preference learning methods have usually focused on word-to-class relations, e.g., a verb selects as its subject a given nominal class. This paper extends previous work to wordto-word selectional preferences by using webscale d...
متن کاملIntegrating selectional preferences in WordNet
Selectional preference learning methods have usually focused on word-to-class relations, e.g., a verb selects as its subject a given nominal class. This paper extends previous statistical models to class-to-class preferences, and presents a model that learns selectional preferences for classes of verbs, together with an algorithm to integrate the learned preferences in WordNet. The theoretical ...
