Adverbs, Surprisingly (2023.starsem-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | adverbs are the part of speech (POS) that has seen the least attention in computational linguistics due to its challenging nature. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Frame Semantics to characterize word meaning to uncover systematic gaps in adverb accounts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach can describe ambiguity, semantic roles, and null instantiation of adverbs. |
Frame Shift Prediction (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Frame shift is a cross-linguistic phenomenon in translation which results in corresponding pairs of linguistic material evoking different frames. |
| Approach: | They propose a task to predict cross-linguistic frame-to-frame correspondence and propose auxiliary training to learn cross-lingual frame-by-frame correlation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task can learn cross-linguistic frame-to-frame correspondence and predict frame shifts in a Berkeley FrameNet-like configuration. |
