Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing lexical resources do not include the relative intensities of adjectives. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to automatically learn relative intensity relation between scalar adjectives . they use a paraphrase-based method that assumes that a pair of adjectives is "really hot" a similar method is used to infer the polarity of indirect answers to "yes/no" questions . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves the quality of systems for ordering sets of scalar adjectives and inferring the polarity of indirect answers to "yes/no" questions. |
