چکیده

This paper presents a knowledge base containing triples involving pairs of verbs associated with semantic or discourse relations. The relations in these triples are marked by discourse connectors between two adjacent instances of the verbs in the triple in the large French corpus, frWaC. We detail several measures that evaluate the relevance of the triples and the strength of their association. We use manual annotations to evaluate our method, and also study the coverage of our resource with respect to the discourse annotated corpus Annodis. Our positive results show the potential impact of our resource for discourse analysis tasks as well as other semantically oriented tasks like temporal and causal information extraction.

Unsupervised extraction of semantic relations using discourse information. (Extraction non supervisée de relations sémantiques par l'analyse du discours)

Natural language understanding often relies on common-sense reasoning, for which knowledge about semantic relations, especially between verbal predicates, may be required. This thesis addresses the challenge of using a distibutional method to automatically extract the necessary semantic information for common-sense inference. Typical associations between pairs of predicates and a targeted set o...

Unsupervised Discovery of Discourse Relations for Eliminating Intra-sentence Polarity Ambiguities

Polarity classification of opinionated sentences with both positive and negative sentiments1 is a key challenge in sentiment analysis. This paper presents a novel unsupervised method for discovering intra-sentence level discourse relations for eliminating polarity ambiguities. Firstly, a discourse scheme with discourse constraints on polarity was defined empirically based on Rhetorical Structur...

A Bayesian Model for Joint Unsupervised Induction of Sentiment, Aspect and Discourse Representations

We propose a joint model for unsupervised induction of sentiment, aspect and discourse information and show that by incorporating a notion of latent discourse relations in the model, we improve the prediction accuracy for aspect and sentiment polarity on the sub-sentential level. We deviate from the traditional view of discourse, as we induce types of discourse relations and associated discours...

Semantic relation clustering for unsupervised information extraction (Regroupement sémantique de relations pour l'extraction d'information non supervisée) [in French]

Semantic relation clustering for unsupervised information extraction Most studies in unsupervised information extraction concentrate on the relation extraction and few work has been proposed on the organization of the extracted relations. We present in this paper a two-step clustering procedure to group semantically equivalent relations : a first step clusters relations with similar expressions...
