A Computational Approach to Quantifying Grammaticization of English Deverbal Prepositions (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Linguistic studies have revealed important aspects of grammaticization of deverbal prepositions. |
| Approach: | They propose a computational approach to measure the degree of grammaticization of deverbal prepositions based on corpus data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method correlates well with human judgements and supports previous findings in linguistics. |

Paraphrasing Compound Nominalizations (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Nominalizations are difficult to interpret because of ambiguous semantic relations between deverbal noun and its arguments. |
| Approach: | They propose to generate clausal paraphrases for nominalizations by mapping arguments to verbs . they use a contextualized language model to re-rank nominalization candidates . |
| Outcome: | The proposed task is based on a pre-trained model to re-rank paraphrase candidates identified by a textual entailment model. |

| Challenge: | Existing work on how to integrate world knowledge into a QSD model has been limited . |
| Approach: | They use a scope-disambiguated corpus annotated with prepositional senses to integrate our knowledge into a machine learning model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is based on a scope-disambiguated corpus annotated with prepositional senses . Statistical analysis shows that prepositions have a positive impact on the learnability of automatic QSD systems. |
Unsupervised Mapping of Arguments of Deverbal Nouns to Their Corresponding Verbal Labels (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Deverbal nouns are nominal forms of verbs used in English texts to describe events or actions . many NLP systems neglect to handle nominalized constructions, resulting in limited applications . |
| Approach: | They propose to map arguments of deverbal nouns to universal-dependency relations of verbal constructions . they propose to use the same labels as verbal cases to map the arguments . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach maps arguments of nominalized nouns to the corresponding verbal constructions. |
Automatic Nominalization of Clauses through Textual Entailment (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Past research on clause nominalization has focused on replacement of the head verb with a deverbal noun and resource development to support the task. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a textual entailment model to optimize the position and POS of nominal arguments by fine-tuning a model on the task. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms unsupervised approaches on the nominalization task and outperformed a state-of-the-art neural language model. |
Preposition Sense Disambiguation and Representation (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Prepositions are highly polysemous and their variegated senses encode significant semantic information. |
| Approach: | They match each preposition’s context and their interplay to the geometry of the word vectors to the left and right of the preposition. |
| Outcome: | The proposed algorithm is comparable to and better than state-of-the-art on two benchmark datasets. |
Embedding Syntax and Semantics of Prepositions via Tensor Decomposition (N18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods on preposition representation treat prepositions no different from content words (e.g., word2vec and GloVe). |
| Approach: | They propose to use word-triple counts to capture a preposition’s interaction with its attachment and complement and derive preposition embeddings via tensor decomposition on a large unlabeled corpus. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is comparable to or better than the state-of-the-art on multiple standardized datasets. |
