Word learners are able to use the syntactic context of a word as one source of information to narrow down the space of possible meanings. We examine this bootstrapping process in the domain of adjectives, focusing on the acquisition of subcategories of Gradable Adjectives (GAs). We first show that robust patterns of adverbial modification in natural language sort GAs according to scalar structu...

Familiar fragrances usually induce positive mood states and elicit favorable evaluation. Relaxation is also widely thought to improve mood state. Yet experimental evidence on the effect of two different stimuli, fragrance smelling and breathing relaxation, on mood state, and fragrance evaluation is lacking. This study aimed to test (1) the effect of two familiar fragrances, lavender and myrtle,...

In this paper, we present the KIT systems participating in the TED translation tasks of the IWSLT 2014 machine translation evaluation. We submitted phrase-based translation systems for all three official directions, namely English→German, German→English, and English→French, as well as for the optional directions English→Chinese and English→Arabic. For the official directions we built systems bo...

We propose a new semantic relation of intensity for gradable adjectives in WordNet and show its specific benefits for NLP. Intensity enriches the present, vague, similar relation with information on the degree with which different adjectives express a shared attribute. Using lexical-semantic patterns, we mine the Web for evidence of the relative strength of adjectives like “large”, “huge” and “...
