Factuality Annotation and Learning in Spanish Texts
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a proposal for the annotation of factuality of event mentions in Spanish texts and a free available annotated corpus. Our factuality model aims to capture a pragmatic notion of factuality, trying to reflect a casual reader judgements about the realis / irrealis status of mentioned events. Also, some learning experiments (SVM and CRF) have been held, showing encouraging results.

An Event Factuality Annotation Proposal for Basque
Factuality information gives evidence on whether the events in texts have happened. This information can be relevant in natural language processing tasks such as timeline generation as it helps discriminating the events that are relevant to a certain timeline. We analysed some factuality annotation schemes and proposed a new scheme that aims at concise and easy annotation. We worked on a Basque...

متن کاملSemantic Annotation of Japanese Functional Expressions and its Impact on Factuality Analysis
Recognizing the meaning of functional expressions is essential for natural language understanding. This is a difficult task, owing to the lack of a sufficient corpus for machine learning and evaluation. In this study, we design a new annotation scheme and construct a corpus containing 2,327 Japanese sentences and 8,775 functional expressions. Our scheme achieves high inter-annotator agreement w...
