Enriching Entity Translation Discovery using Selective Temporality
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies named entity translation and proposes “selective temporality” as a new feature, as using temporal features may be harmful for translating “atemporal” entities. Our key contribution is building an automatic classifier to distinguish temporal and atemporal entities then align them in separate procedures to boost translation accuracy by 6.1%.

Understanding Relation Temporality of Entities
This paper demonstrates the importance of relation equivalence for entity translation pair discovery. Existing approach of understanding relation equivalence has focused on using explicit features of cooccurring entities. In this paper, we explore latent features of temporality for understanding relation equivalence, and empirically show that the explicit and latent features complement each oth...
متن کاملVerb Temporality Analysis using Reichenbach's Tense System
This paper presents the analysis process of verb temporality using Reichenbach’s tense system, a language-independent system which describes tense as relations among linguistic and extralinguistic temporal entities. Several difficulties arise from the deep analysis required for classification into Reichenbach’s categories. They regard establishing the logical sequence of clauses in the skeletal...
متن کاملA Brief Introduction to Temporality and Causality
Causality is a non-obvious concept that is often considered to be related to temporality. In this paper we present a number of past and present approaches to the definition of temporality and causality from philosophical, physical, and computational points of view. We note that time is an important ingredient in many relationships and phenomena. The topic is then divided into the two main areas...
متن کاملEnriching Statistical Translation Models Using a Domain-Independent Multilingual Lexical Knowledge Base
This paper presents a method for improving phrase-based Statistical Machine Translation systems by enriching the original translation model with information derived from a multilingual lexical knowledge base. The method proposed exploits the Multilingual Central Repository (a group of linked WordNets from different languages), as a domain-independent knowledge database, to provide translation m...
متن کاملImprovement of Chemical Named Entity Recognition through Sentence-based Random Under-sampling and Classifier Combination
Chemical Named Entity Recognition (NER) is the basic step for consequent information extraction tasks such as named entity resolution, drug-drug interaction discovery, extraction of the names of the molecules and their properties. Improvement in the performance of such systems may affects the quality of the subsequent tasks. Chemical text from which data for named entity recognition is extracte...
