Download or read book The Semantics of Prepositions written by Michel Aurnague & Laure Vieu and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 1993 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of the papers in this volume were presented at a workshop on the semantics of prepositions held at the Institut für Angewandte Informationsforschung in February 1990. The broader topic is the conceptualization of space. The papers bring together different approaches to the mental process of interpreting prepositions, in particular, the computational processing of prepositions as predications of different cognitive domains. While no one presentation can claim to be exhaustive, it is hoped that the insights contained will inspire future discussions within cognitive linguistics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical Imaging Informatics provides an overview of this growing discipline, which stems from an intersection of biomedical informatics, medical imaging, computer science and medicine. Supporting two complementary views, this volume explores the fundamental technologies and algorithms that comprise this field, as well as the application of medical imaging informatics to subsequently improve healthcare research. Clearly written in a four part structure, this introduction follows natural healthcare processes, illustrating the roles of data collection and standardization, context extraction and modeling, and medical decision making tools and applications. Medical Imaging Informatics identifies core concepts within the field, explores research challenges that drive development, and includes current state-of-the-art methods and strategies.

Download or read book Controlled Natural Language written by Norbert E Fuchs and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the Workshop on Controlled Natural Language, CNL 2009, held in Marettimo Island, Italy, in June 2009. The 16 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited lecture were carefully reviewed and selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 31 initial submissions. The papers are roughly divided into the two groups language aspects and tools and applications. Note that some papers fall actually into both groups: using a controlled natural language in an application domain often requires domain-specific language features.

Download or read book Automatic Ambiguity Resolution in Natural Language Processing written by Alexander Franz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1996-11-13 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an exciting time for Artificial Intelligence, and for Natural Language Processing in particular. Over the last five years or so, a newly revived spirit has gained prominence that promises to revitalize the whole field: the spirit of empiricism. This book introduces a new approach to the important NLP issue of automatic ambiguity resolution, based on statistical models of text. This approach is compared with previous work and proved to yield higher accuracy for natural language analysis. An effective implementation strategy is also described, which is directly useful for natural language analysis. The book is noteworthy for demonstrating a new empirical approach to NLP; it is essential reading for researchers in natural language processing or computational linguistics.

Download or read book Using Syntax Semantics and Competitive Scoring to Predict Prepositional Phrase Attachment Sites written by Judith V. Gordon and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepositional phrase (PP) attachment is notorious for causing structural ambiguity problems in natural language processing. A structure like V-NP-PP where the PP is an optional locative PP forms a case in point. If we apply syntactic rules only, at least two different attachment sites will be possible: the noun phrase (NP) and the verb phrase (VP) that includes the verb and the NP. In some cases, only one of these attachments reflects a plausible interpretation of meaning. Previous approaches to disambiguation have achieved limited success. I propose and test a new Semantic + Syntactic Competitive Scoring (SSCS) approach with PP-attachment rules based on the selectional properties of individual prepositions plus five different verb types and the hypernyms (more abstract categories) of the polysemous meanings of nouns (for example, car IS A vehicle IS AN entity). A computerized classification program derives the verb types after examining VPs in large corpora. Noun hypernyms are taken from Princeton's WordNet, a computerized lexicon which already contains over 65,000 nouns. SSCS PP-attachment rules apply to VP ... NP ... PP structures, where the NP may be a complement of the verb or of an intervening preposition and any number of PPs may appear between the VP and the NP and between the NP and the PP to be attached. To develop and test these rules, I created separate randomized design data and test files from 1,648 VPs containing in/on/at prepositions. The VPs were taken from four different Penn Treebank preparsed texts. SSCS rules achieved an overall 92% success rate for the design data and an 82% success rate for the test files. However, a few modifications of underspecified verb types and alternative attachment sites plus a little more consideration of syntax and of the semantics of compound nouns and coordinate structures raise these success rates to 95% for the design data and 94% for the test files. Based on these results, I estimate that only 5-6% of all VPs containing in/on/at PPs need considerations from context of discourse and/or world knowledge to predict PP-attachment sites successfully. In addition to their implications for PP-attachment disambiguation, these results also have implication for other types of structural disambiguation and for future development of robust lexicons and parsers able to process multiple varieties of English in large corpora.

Download or read book Semantic Interpretation and the Resolution of Ambiguity written by Graeme Hirst and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semantic interpretation and the resolution of ambiguity presents an important advance in computer understanding of natural language. While parsing techniques have been greatly improved in recent years, the approach to semantics has generally improved in recent years, the approach to semantics has generally been ad hoc and had little theoretical basis. Graeme Hirst offers a new, theoretically motivated foundation for conceptual analysis by computer, and shows how this framework facilitates the resolution of lexical and syntactic ambiguities. His approach is interdisciplinary, drawing on research in computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, montague semantics, and cognitive psychology.

Download or read book From Complex Sentences to a Formal Semantic Representation using Syntactic Text Simplification and Open Information Extraction written by Christina Niklaus and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-29 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents a discourse-aware Text Simplification approach that splits and rephrases complex English sentences within the semantic context in which they occur. Based on a linguistically grounded transformation stage, complex sentences are transformed into shorter utterances with a simple canonical structure that can be easily analyzed by downstream applications. To avoid breaking down the input into a disjointed sequence of statements that is difficult to interpret, the author incorporates the semantic context between the split propositions in the form of hierarchical structures and semantic relationships, thus generating a novel representation of complex assertions that puts a semantic layer on top of the simplified sentences. In a second step, she leverages the semantic hierarchy of minimal propositions to improve the performance of Open IE frameworks. She shows that such systems benefit in two dimensions. First, the canonical structure of the simplified sentences facilitates the extraction of relational tuples, leading to an improved precision and recall of the extracted relations. Second, the semantic hierarchy can be leveraged to enrich the output of existing Open IE approaches with additional meta-information, resulting in a novel lightweight semantic representation for complex text data in the form of normalized and context-preserving relational tuples.
