We present a supervised machine learning AND system which tackles semantic similarity between publication titles by means of word embeddings. Word embeddings are integrated as external components, which keeps the model small and efficient, while allowing for easy extensibility and domain adaptation. Initial experiments show that word embeddings can improve the Recall and F score of the binary classification sub-task of AND. Results for the clustering sub-task are less clear, but also promising and overall show the feasibility of the approach.
The demo presents a minimalist, off-the-shelf AND tool which provides a fundamental AND operation, the comparison of two publications with ambiguous authors, as an easily accessible HTTP interface. The tool implements this operation using standard AND functionality, but puts particular emphasis on advanced methods from natural language processing (NLP) for comparing publication title semantics.
We introduce a system that learns the participants of arbitrary given scripts. This system processes data from web experiments, in which each participant can be realized with different expressions. It computes participants by encoding semantic similarity and global structural information into an Integer Linear Program. An evaluation against a gold standard shows that we significantly outperform two informed baselines.
The classification of verbs in Levin's (1993) English Verb Classes and Alternations: A preliminary Investigation, on the basis of both intuitive semantic grouping and their participation in valence alternations, is often used by the NLP community as evidence of the semantic similarity of verbs (Jing & McKeown 1998; Lapata & Brew 1999; Kohl et al. 1998). In this paper, we compare the Levin classification with the work of the FrameNet project (Fillmore & Baker 2001), where words (not just verbs) are grouped according to the conceptual structures (frames) that underlie them and their combinatorial patterns are inductively derived from corpus evidence. This means that verbs grouped together in FrameNet (FN) might be semantically similar but have different (or no) alternations, and that verbs which share the same alternation might be represented in two different semantic frames.
