“A Buster Keaton of Linguistics”: First Automated Approaches for the Extraction of Vossian Antonomasia (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Vossian Antonomasia is a stylistic device which attributes a property to a person by naming another person as a reference point. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for the extraction of Vossian Antonomasias that works completely automatically . they use named entity recognition, distant supervision and a bi-directional LSTM . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms the only existing semi-automatic method for VA identification by more than 30 percentage points in precision. |
