A system capable of interpreting figurative expressions would be an invaluable addition to the real-world natural language processing (NLP) applications that need to access semantics, such as machine translation, opinion mining, question answering and many others. In this article we focus on one type of figurative language, logical metonymy, and present a computational model of its interpretation bringing together statistical techniques and the insights from linguistic theory. Compared to previous approaches this model is both more informative and more accurate. The system produces sense-level interpretations of metonymic phrases and then automatically organizes them into conceptual classes, or roles, discussed in the majority of linguistic literature on the phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":412532,"journal":{"name":"ACM Trans.

They are syntactically flexible and their meaning can only be partially computed on the basis of the meaning of their parts, thus they require special treatment in natural language processing. For this purpose, the first step is to identify light verb constructions.\u0000 In this study, we present our conditional random fields-based tool—called FXTagger—for identifying light verb constructions. The flexibility of the tool is demonstrated on two, typologically different, languages, namely, English and Hungarian. As earlier studies labeled different linguistic phenomena as light verb constructions, we first present a linguistics-based classification of light verb constructions and then show that FXTagger is able to identify different classes of light verb constructions in both languages.\u0000 Different types of texts may contain different types of light verb constructions; moreover, the frequency of light verb constructions may differ from domain to domain. Hence we focus on the portability of models trained on different corpora, and we also investigate the effect of simple domain adaptation techniques to reduce the gap between the domains. Our results show that in spite of domain specificities, out-domain data can also contribute to the successful LVC detection in all domains.","PeriodicalId":412532,"journal":{"name":"ACM Trans.

We present a corpus-supported and computational study on Italian MWEs, aimed at defining an automatic method for modeling internal variation, exploiting frequency and part-of-speech (POS) information. We do so by deriving an XML-encoded lexicon of MWEs based on a manually compiled dictionary, which is then projected onto a a large corpus. Since a search for fixed forms suffers from low recall, while an unconstrained flexible search for lemmas yields a loss in precision, we suggest a procedure aimed at maximizing precision in the identification of MWEs within a flexible search. Our method builds on the idea that internal variability can be modelled via the novel introduction of variation patterns, which work over POS patterns, and can be used as working tools for controlling precision. We also compare the performance of variation patterns to that of association measures, and explore the possibility of using variation patterns in MWE extraction in addition to identification. Finally, we suggest that corpus-derived, pattern-related information can be included in the original MWE lexicon by means of an enriched coding and the creation of an XML-based repository of patterns.","PeriodicalId":412532,"journal":{"name":"ACM Trans.

This study follows others in seeking syntactic or lexical semantic factors correlated with the acceptability of these constructions. In particular, following recent work showing certain semantic verb class features to improve SVN classification [Tu and Roth 2011], we explore the possibility that support verbs and the verbal roots of nominalizations in acceptable SVN pairs are clustered according to the classes of Levin [1993]. We compare the compatibility correlation of these results with those of the Aktionsart-class-based proposal of Barrett and Davis [2002]. We find the evidence that Levin classes are a factor in the acceptability of SVN constructions to be equivocal, and conclude with a discussion of the reasons for this finding.","PeriodicalId":412532,"journal":{"name":"ACM Trans.

We observe that aspect-guided summaries not only address highly specific user need, but also facilitate content-level coherence by using aspect information. In this article, we present a full-fledged approach to aspect-guided summarization with a focus on summary coherence. Our summarization approach depends on two prerequisite subtasks: recognizing aspect-bearing sentences in order to do sentence extraction, and modeling aspect-based coherence with an HMM model in order to predict a coherent sentence ordering. Using the manually annotated TAC 2010 and 2010 datasets, we validated the effectiveness of our proposed methods for those subtasks. Drawing on the empirical results, we proceed to develop an aspect-guided summarizer based on a simple but robust base summarizer. With sentence selection guided by aspect information, our system is one of the best on TAC 2011. With sentence ordering predicted by the aspect-based HMM model, the summaries achieve good coherence.","PeriodicalId":412532,"journal":{"name":"ACM Trans. Speech Lang.

It is the aim of this work to validate this intuition by showing that figurative language (metaphors) appearing in a sentence drive the polarity of that sentence. Towards this target, the current article proposes an approach for sentiment analysis of sentences where figurative language plays a dominant role. This approach applies Word Sense Disambiguation aiming to assign polarity to word senses rather than tokens. Sentence polarity is determined using the individual polarities for metaphorical senses as well as other contextual information. Experimental evaluation shows that the proposed method achieves high scores in comparison with other state-of-the-art approaches tested on the same corpora. Finally, experimental results provide supportive evidence that this method is also well suited for corpora consisting of literal and figurative language sentences.","PeriodicalId":412532,"journal":{"name":"ACM Trans.
