Semantic Analysis

Many investisators have recognized that so- phisticated mechanical translation or other computational linguistic systems will require language learning capa- bilities, both in the ability to discover and verify new descriptive …...

We report on a mechanism for semantic and prag- matic interpretation that has been designed to take advantage of the generally compositional na- ture of semantic analysis, without unduly con- …...

The SCISOR. system is a computer program designed to scan naturally occurring texts in constrained do- mains, extract information, and answer questions about that information. The system currently reads newspapers …...

We have analyzed 607 sentences of spontaneous human- computer speech data containing repairs (drawn from a cor- pus of 10,718). We present here criteria and techniques for automatically detecting the …...

This paper briefly describes the current implementa- tion status of an intelligent information retrieval sys- tem, MARIE, that employs natural language process- ing techniques. Descriptive captions are used to iden- …...

Prosody can be useful in resolving certain lex- ical and structural ambiguities in spoken English. In this paper we present some results of employ- ing two types of prosodic information, …...

We describe and evaluate an implemented system for general-knowledge question answering. The sys- tem combines techniques for standard ad-hoc infor- mation retrieval (IR), query-dependent text summa- rization, and shallow syntactic …...

. This work is part of a large research project entitled "Oreillodule" aimed at developing tools for automatic speech recognition, translation, and synthesis for Arabic language. Our attention has mainly …...

. We adopt a previously developed model of deep syntactic and semantic processing to support question answering for Bahasa Indonesia, and extend it by adding a number of axioms designed …...

. The strict character of most of the existing Machine Translation (MT) evaluation metrics does not permit them to capture lexical variation in translation. However, a central issue in MT …...

AbstractPlain text corpora contain much information which can only be accessed through human annotation and semantic analysis, which is typically very time consuming to perform. Analysis of such texts at …...

AbstractWWe propose applying standardized linguistic annotation to terms included in labels of knowledge representation schemes (taxonomies or ontologies), hypothesizing that this would help improving ontology-based semantic annotation of texts. We …...

We develop a novel approach to the seman- tic analysis of short text segments and demon- strate its utility on a large corpus of Web search queries. Extracting meaning from …...

In these days, semantic analysis has been ac- tively studied in natural language processing. For the study of semantic analysis, corpora with semantic annotations are essential. Al- though there are …...

We present a model for the automatic se- mantic analysis of requirements elicitation documents. Our target semantic repre- sentation employs live sequence charts, a multi-modal visual language for scenario- based …...

AbstractThe task of recommending relevant scientific literature for a draft academic paper has recently received significant interest. In our effort to ease the discovery of scientific literature and augment scientific …...

AbstractThis paper reports on work related to the modelling of Human-Robot Communication on the basis of multimodal and multisensory human behaviour analysis. A primary focus in this framework of analysis …...

AbstractThe literature in automated sarcasm detection has mainly focused on lexical-, syntactic- and semantic-level analysis of text. However, a sarcastic sentence can be expressed with contextual presumptions, background and commonsense …...

AbstractIn this paper we analyze the use of emojis in social media with respect to gender and skin tone. By gathering a dataset of over twenty two million tweets from …...
