Negation and Speculation in Natural Language Processing ( NeSp - NLP 2010 )

چکیده
In view of the increasing need to facilitate processing the content of scientific papers, we present an annotation scheme for annotating full papers with zones of conceptualisation, reflecting the information structure and knowledge types which constitute a scientific investigation. The latter are the Core Scientific Concepts (CoreSCs) and include Hypothesis, Motivation, Goal, Object, Background, Method, Experiment, Model, Observation, Result and Conclusion. The CoreSC scheme has been used to annotate a corpus of 265 full papers in physical chemistry and biochemistry and we are currently automating the recognition of CoreSCs in papers. We discuss how the CoreSC scheme relates to other views of scientific papers and indeed how the former could be used to help identify negation and speculation in scientific texts.

Processing modality and negation
1.1 Tutorial content Modality and negation are ubiquitous phenomena in language. Generally speaking, modality is a grammatical category that allows to express aspects related to the speaker's attitude towards her statements in terms of degree of certainty, reliability, and subjectivity. In this tutorial modality is understood in a broad sense, which involves related concepts like subjectivity, ...
متن کاملNegation and Speculation Identification in Chinese Language
Identifying negative or speculative narrative fragments from fact is crucial for natural language processing (NLP) applications. Previous studies on negation and speculation identification in Chinese language suffers much from two problems: corpus scarcity and the bottleneck in fundamental Chinese information processing. To resolve these problems, this paper constructs a Chinese corpus which co...
متن کاملLinguistic scope-based and biological event-based speculation and negation annotations in the Genia Event and BioScope corpora
Background: The treatment of negation and hedging in natural language processing has received much interest recently, especially in the biomedical domain. However, open access corpora annotated for negation and/or speculation are hardly available for training and testing applications, and even if they are, they sometimes follow different design principles. In this paper, the annotation principl...
متن کاملAnnotating Negation and Speculation: the Case of the Review Domain
The paper presents the annotation of negation and speculation which is important for many NLP applications. Unlike previous research focusing on the medical domain, we investigate the review domain and attempt to annotate the SFU Review Corpus. In order to guarantee consistent annotation, we develop specific guidelines. Given the lack of research into annotation in the review domain, we explore...
متن کاملNegation and modality in distributional semantics
In Natural Language Processing, negation and modality have mostly been handled using the older, pre-statistical methodologies of formal representations subject to rule-based processing. This fits the traditional treatment of negation and modality in logic-based knowledge representation and linguistics. However, in modern-day statistics-based NLP, how exactly negation and modality should be take...
