Annotating Modality Interdependencies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses computational linguistic methods for the semi-automatic analysis of modality interdependencies (the combination of complex resources such as speaking, writing, and visualizing; MID) in professional crosssituational interaction settings. The overall purpose of the approach is to develop models, methods, and a framework for the description and analysis of MID forms and functions. The paper describes work in progress—the development of an annotation framework that allows annotating different data and file formats at various levels, to relate annotation levels and entries independently of the given file format, and to visualize patterns.

Annotating and Recognizing Event Modality in Text
Current results in basic Information Extraction tasks such as Named Entity Recognition or Event Extraction suggest that we are close to achieving a stage where the fundamental units for text understanding are put together; namely, predicates and their arguments. However, other layers of information, such as event modality, are essential for understanding, since the inferences derivable from fac...
متن کاملAnnotating the Interaction between Focus and Modality: the case of exclusive particles
We discuss in this paper a proposal to integrate the annotation of contexts with focussensitive expressions (namely the Portuguese exclusive adverb só ‘only’) in a modality scheme. We describe some properties of contexts involving both exclusive particles and modal triggers and discuss how to integrate this with an existing annotation scheme implemented for European Portuguese. We present the r...
متن کاملClassification of Modal Meaning in Negotiation Dialogues
This paper addresses modality classification for multi-issue bargaining dialogues in order to model human-like negotiation behaviour and to efficiently compute negotiation strategies. We propose a modality annotation and classification scheme comprising semantically distinguishable categories applied reliably by humans and machines. Our classification of modality varieties is based on both the ...
متن کاملAutomatic Image Annotation using Weakly Labelled Web Data
In this work, we propose and describe a method for localizing and annotating objects in images for the Scalable Concept Image Annotation challenge at ImageCLEF 2015. The unique feature of our proposed method is in its almost exclusive reliance on a single modality – visual data – for annotating images. Additionally, we do not utilize any of the provided training data, but instead create our own...
متن کاملYes we can!? Annotating the senses of English modal verbs
This paper presents an annotation scheme for English modal verbs together with sense-annotated data from the news domain. We describe our annotation scheme and discuss problematic cases for modality annotation based on the inter-annotator agreement during the annotation. Furthermore, we present experiments on automatic sense tagging, showing that our annotations do provide a valuable training r...
