Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Animacy is a semantic property of nouns that describes the quality of the noun's referent of being alive, sentient or volitional. |
| Approach: | They propose a type-based binary classifier of Romanian nouns into the classes human/non-human using pre-trained word embeddings and animacy information derived from Romanian WordNet. |
| Outcome: | The proposed classifiers perform well on the Romanian language and in a naturalistic setting. |
