Research on extracting conceptual frameworks of sentence groups

Abstract

A sentence group is a processing unit between a sentence and a paragraph or an article. It is described with three aspects: domain, situation and background. Domain is the conceptual category of a sentence group. Situation is the conceptual framework of a sentence group. The conceptual framework of a sentence group is defined with several serial sentence categories (SCs), the semantic chunks in the SCs, and the conceptual restriction of those semantic chunks. Extracting the framework should base on the knowledge of domain sentence categories and then fill the framework with the right words or phrases in sentences, according to the SCs and semantic chunks. This paper introduces the description of conceptual frameworks of sentence groups. It also shows how to extract the elements in a framework based on analyzing the SCs of sentences. Finally, some aspects must be improved to reach a higher processing performance.
