FBK: Exploiting Phrasal and Contextual Clues for Negation Scope Detection
نویسنده
چکیده
Automatic detection of negation cues along with their scope and corresponding negated events is an important task that could benefit other natural language processing (NLP) tasks such as extraction of factual information from text, sentiment analysis, etc. This paper presents a system for this task that exploits phrasal and contextual clues apart from various token specific features. The system was developed for the participation in the Task 1 (closed track) of the *SEM 2012 Shared Task (Resolving the Scope and Focus of Negation), where it is ranked 3rd among the participating teams while attaining the highest F1 score for negation cue detection.

Exploiting the Scope of Negations and Heterogeneous Features for Relation Extraction: A Case Study for Drug-Drug Interaction Extraction
This paper presents an approach that exploits the scope of negation cues for relation extraction (RE) without the need of using any specifically annotated dataset for building a separate negation scope detection classifier. New features are proposed which are used in two different stages. These also include non-target entity specific features. The proposed RE approach outperforms the previous s...
متن کاملInterpreting the Scope of Negation in Three Varieties of German - The Effect of Prosodic Cues
This paper presents two perception experiments on three German varieties investigating the effect of pause, intonation contour and peak alignment on (1) the scope of negation and (2) the strength of phrasal breaks. Subjects from Kiel, Vienna and Düsseldorf participated in both experiments which drew on the same set of stimuli. Results show that the interpretation of prosodic cues is task-specif...

متن کاملUABCoRAL: A Preliminary study for Resolving the Scope of Negation
This paper describes our participation in the closed track of the *SEM 2012 Shared Task of finding the scope of negation. To perform the task, we propose a system that has three components: negation cue detection, scope of negation detection, and negated event detection. In the first phase, the system creates a lexicon of negation signals from the training data and uses the lexicon to identify ...
متن کاملExtraction of Drug-Drug Interaction from Literature through Detecting Linguistic-based Negation and Clause Dependency
Extracting biomedical relations such as drug-drug interaction (DDI) from text is an important task in biomedical NLP. Due to the large number of complex sentences in biomedical literature, researchers have employed some sentence simplification techniques to improve the performance of the relation extraction methods. However, due to difficulty of the task, there is no noteworthy improvement in t...
