We examine the combination of pattern-based and distributional similarity for the induction of semantic categories. Pattern-based methods are precise and sparse while distributional methods have a higher recall. Given these particular properties we use the prediction of distributional methods as a back-off to pattern-based similarity. Since our pattern-based approach is embedded into a semi-supervised graph clustering algorithm, we also examine how distributional information is best added to that classifier. Our experiments are carried out on 5 different food categorization tasks.
We examine the task of relation extraction in the food domain by employing distant supervision. We focus on the extraction of two relations that are not only relevant to product recommendation in the food domain, but that also have significance in other domains, such as the fashion or electronics domain. In order to select suitable training data, we investigate various degrees of freedom. We consider three processing levels being argument level, sentence level and feature level. As external resources, we employ manually created surface patterns and semantic types on all these levels. We also explore in how far rule-based methods employing the same information are competitive.
In this paper, we examine methods to extract different domain-specific relations from the food domain. We employ different extraction methods ranging from surface patterns to co-occurrence measures applied on different parts of a document. We show that the effectiveness of a particular method depends very much on the relation type considered and that there is no single method that works equally well for every relation type. As we need to process a large amount of unlabeled data our methods only require a low level of linguistic processing. This has also the advantage that these methods can provide responses in real time.
In this paper the authors briefly outline editing functions which use methods from computational linguistics and take the structures of natural languages into consideration. Such functions could reduce errors and better support writers in realizing their communicative goals. However, linguistic methods have limits, and there are various aspects software developers have to take into account to avoid creating a solution looking for a problem: Language-aware functions could be powerful tools for writers, but writers must not be forced to adapt to their tools.
