Likelihood of external causation in the structure of events
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article addresses the causal structure of events described by verbs: whether an event happens spontaneously or it is caused by an external causer. We automatically estimate the likelihood of external causation of events based on the distribution of causative and anticausative uses of verbs in the causative alternation. We train a Bayesian model and test it on a monolingual and on a bilingual input. The performance is evaluated against an independent scale of likelihood of external causation based on typological data. The accuracy of a two-way classification is 85% in both monolingual and bilingual setting. On the task of a three-way classification, the score is 61% in the monolingual setting and 69% in the bilingual setting.

متن کاملDetermining the Likelihood of Damage in Concrete and its Physical Structure
Applying renormalization group theory to evaluate the safety of overall structure, local damage probability must be obtained at first. According to the results of unit detection test and numerical simulation, the methods how to determine local damage probability was presented in the paper. For small unit, meaning the unit size is far less than the maximum primitive cell or the structure size, i...

Abnormal loads due to natural events, implementation errors and some other issues can lead to occurrence of progressive collapse in structures. Most of the past researches consist of 2- Dimensional (2D) models of steel frames without consideration of the floor system effects, which reduces the accuracy of the modeling. While employing a 3-Dimensional (3D) model and modeling the concrete slab sy...
