  2. Previous Works on Term Related Unified Semantic Tree (TRUST) • Previous work on TRUST is based on pure statistical approach • Disadvantages: • Huge dimensions lead to complexity • Estimated parameters are based on insufficient data and therefore imprecise Yu Sun (PAMIR)

  3. Previous Works (cont) • Questions left: • How to impart human Knowledge into the statistical approach • How to use such human Knowledge to tune the TRUST Yu Sun (PAMIR)

  4. How to Tackle the Issues The novel approach is implemented through: • Epistemic Lexicon (EL) • Precisiated Natural Language (PNL) Yu Sun (PAMIR)

  5. A lexine uses granule fuzzy technique to define a term and its attributes, its relations to other lexine terms. Epistemic Lexicon (EL) rij lexinej lexinei Yu Sun (PAMIR)

  6. Examples of EL • EL is astatic representation of knowledge • Buyer: • institute (company, bank) / very possible, • management-staff / possible, • government / not very possible • Seller: • institute (company, bank) / very possible, • management-staff / possible, • government / not very possible, Yu Sun (PAMIR)

  7. PrecisiatedNaturalLanguage (PNL) • EL is a static dictionary. There need generalize constraints to compensate the insufficiency. • PNL is a sub-language of precisiable propositions in NL which is equipped with a dictionary (EL) defined by domain experts and Generalized Constraint (rules of deduction) • GC dynamically applies EL on NLU Yu Sun (PAMIR)

  8. Examples of GC • Generalized Constraint in PNL is used to enhance the static EL through rules • Any lexine in EL (word) is bi-sense-directed: belongs to one of two directions: in/out or up/down dependent on its context; • One lexine might belong to multi concepts (classes) [Self]; • If Positive(+, such asagree, pro) meets Negative(-, such asagainst, con), the result is Negative(-) [combination]; • Lexine’s relationship can be inherited by its attributes. For instance, Institute has the following attributes: management-staff, performance, legal, scandal (which are defined by the original EL). If action Against(Institute), then Against(Institute.management-people, Institute.performance, Institute.legal, Institute.scandal). And vice versa [Inheritance]. Yu Sun (PAMIR)

  9. Example of GC Enhancing NLU This example shows how GC enhances the system to correctly understand NL: “Beech-Nut Corp. damaged its image over the sale of apple juice that turned out to be water” • EL: Performance-up(sale)[default]; Against(damage); Company(image, sale) • GC: Against(damage)Against(company.image) Against(company)Against(company.sale) Against(Performance-up(sale)) Performance-down(sale)[inferred] Yu Sun (PAMIR)

  10. Experiment • Pre-processing (manual annotation) • 5 documents from WSJ with unique-topic: “company-takeover” • Epistemic Lexicon: including 35 concepts(classes), such as action-in, performance-up, buyer, seller, etc. • Generalized Constraints: rules governing combinational operations of concepts. Yu Sun (PAMIR)

  11. Results of Applying PNL • Experimental results showed the tuned TRUST much closer to human common sense • Enlarged and Adjusted EL after tuning TRUST • Buyer: • action-in / very possible, • agree /very possible, • management-staff /not very possible • legal / not very possible • Seller: • action-out / very possible, • legal / possible • management-staff / possible • sale / hard to tell Yu Sun (PAMIR)

  12. Possible Applications • To identify the semantic meaning of a given term (word sense disambiguation): “The juice scandal forced Beech-Nut to pay a $ 2.2 million fine and $ 7.5 million to settle a lawsuit” • Problem: Beech-Nut may be buyer or seller • Analysis: • Against(scandal)  closer to Seller; • Against(fine)  closer to Seller; • Legal(lawsuit)  closer to Seller; • Solution: • Beech-Nut is a Seller Yu Sun (PAMIR)

  13. Future Possible Applications • Work as an assistant to a semantic parser: For instance: First Pennsylvania had agreed to be acquired by Marine Midland in several month ago…. Midland decides to step out the acquisition and itstarts a lawsuit. (lawsuit is closer to seller than to buyer) • Work as an assistant to a syntactic parser: For instance: Ralston Co. agreed to buyBeech-Nut Nutrition Corp. with a favorite offer. anaphor resolution ppattachment Yu Sun (PAMIR)

  14. Conclusions • Present a novel approach imparting human knowledge into statistical approach; • The preliminary experiment shows PNL and EL improve the statistical approach; • The experiment uses unique-topic documents and in future, research work will expand to more complex documents.
