2. CSE391 – 2005 NLP 2 Ask Jeeves – A Q/A, IR ex. What do you call a successful movie? Tips on Being a Successful Movie Vampire... I shall call the police. Successful Casting Call & Shoot for ``Clash of Empires''... thank everyone for their participation in the making of yesterday's movie. Demme's casting is also highly entertaining, although I wouldn't go so far as to call it successful. This movie's resemblance to its predecessor is pretty vague...

4. CSE391 – 2005 NLP 4 Filtering out “call the police” call(you,movie,what) ≠ call(you,police) Different senses, - different syntax, - different participants you movie what you police

5. CSE391 – 2005 NLP 5 “Meaning” Shallow semantic annotation –Captures critical dependencies, –Highlights participants –Reflects clear sense distinctions Supports training of supervised automatic taggers Works for other languages

6. CSE391 – 2005 NLP 6 Cornerstone: English lexical resource That provides sets of possible syntactic frames for verbs. And provides clear, replicable sense distinctions. AskJeeves: Who do you call for a good electronic lexical database for English?

7. CSE391 – 2005 NLP 7 WordNet – Princeton (Miller 1985, Fellbaum 1998) On-line lexical reference (dictionary) –Nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs grouped into synonym sets –Other relations include hypernyms (ISA), antonyms, meronyms

8. CSE391 – 2005 NLP 8 WordNet http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/

9. CSE391 – 2005 NLP 9 WordNet – call, 28 senses 1.name, call -- (assign a specified, proper name to; "They named their son David"; …) -> LABEL 2. call, telephone, call up, phone, ring -- (get or try to get into communication (with someone) by telephone; "I tried to call you all night"; …) ->TELECOMMUNICATE 3. call -- (ascribe a quality to or give a name of a common noun that reflects a quality; "He called me a bastard"; …) -> LABEL 4. call, send for -- (order, request, or command to come; She was called into the director's office"; "Call the police!") -> ORDER

10. CSE391 – 2005 NLP 10 WordNet – Princeton (Miller 1985, Fellbaum 1998) Limitations as a computational lexicon –Contains little syntactic information Comlex has syntax but no sense distinctions –No explicit lists of participants –Sense distinctions very fine-grained, –Definitions often vague Causes problems with creating training data for supervised Machine Learning – SENSEVAL2 Verbs > 16 senses (including call) Inter-annotator Agreement ITA 73%, Automatic Word Sense Disambiguation, WSD 60.2% Dang & Palmer, SIGLEX02

CSE391 – 2005 NLP 13 Grouping improved scores: ITA 82%, MaxEnt WSD 69% Call: 31% of errors due to confusion between senses within same group 1: –name, call -- (assign a specified, proper name to; They named their son David) –call -- (ascribe a quality to or give a name of a common noun that reflects a quality; He called me a bastard) –call -- (consider or regard as being;I would not call her beautiful) –75% with training and testing on grouped senses vs. –43% with training and testing on fine-grained senses Palmer, Dang, Fellbaum,, submitted, NLE

21. CSE391 – 2005 NLP 21 Maximum Entropy WSD Hoa Dang, best performer on Verbs Maximum entropy framework, p(sense|context) Contextual Linguistic Features –Topical feature for W: +2.5%, keywords (determined automatically) –Local syntactic features for W: +1.5 to +5%, presence of subject, complements, passive? words in subject, complement positions, particles, preps, etc. –Local semantic features for W: +6% Semantic class info from WordNet (synsets, etc.) Named Entity tag (PERSON, LOCATION,..) for proper Ns words within +/- 2 word window

22. CSE391 – 2005 NLP 22 Context Sensitivity Programming languages are Context Free Natural languages are Context Sensitive? –Movement –Features –respectively John, Mary and Bill ate peaches, pears and apples, respectively.
