World Knowledge

While world knowledge has been shown to improve learning-based coreference resolvers, the improvements were typically obtained by incorporating world knowledge into a fairly weak baseline resolver. Hence, it is not …...

The syntactic ambiguity of a transitive verb (Vt) followed by a noun (N) has long been a problem in Chinese parsing. In this paper, we propose a classifier to resolve …...

A Winograd schema is a pair of twin sentences containing a referential ambiguity that is easy for a human to resolve but difficult for a com- puter. This paper explores …...

Previous work on text coherence was primar- ily based on matching multiple mentions of the same entity in different parts of the text; therefore, it misses the contribution from se- …...

We present an unsupervised hard EM ap- proach to automatically mapping instruc- tional recipes to action graphs, which de- fine what actions should be performed on which objects and in …...

In this article we review Temporal Processing systems that participated in the TempEval-3 task as a basis to develop our own system, that we also present and release. The system …...

AbstractCommunicating with humans is challenging for AIs because it requires a shared understanding of the world, complex semantics (e.g., metaphors or analogies), and at times multi-modal gestures (e.g., pointing with …...

AbstractThe Winograd Schema Challenge (WSC) consists of a set of anaphora resolution problems resolvable only by reasoning about world knowledge. This article describes the update of the existing French data …...

AbstractAlthough it is widely agreed that world knowledge plays a significant role in quantifier scope disambiguation (QSD), there has been only very limited work on how to integrate this knowledge …...

AbstractWhen a neural language model (LM) is adapted to perform a new task, what aspects of the task predict the eventual performance of the model? In NLP, systematic features of …...
