Abstract:
A method and system are provided for a part-of-speech tagger that may be particularly useful for resource-poor languages. Use of manually constructed tag dictionaries from dictionaries via bitext can be used as type constraints to overcome the scarcity of annotated data in some instances. Additional token constraints can be projected from a resource-rich source language via word-aligned bitext. Several example models are provided to demonstrate this such as a partially observed conditional random field model, where coupled token and type constraints may provide a partial signal for training. The disclosed method achieves a significant relative error reduction over the prior state of the art.
Abstract:
A source language sentence is tagged with non-lexical tags, such as part-of-speech tags and is parsed using a lexicalized parser trained in the source language. A target language sentence that is a translation of the source language sentence is tagged with non-lexical labels (e.g., part-of speech tags) and is parsed using a delexicalized parser that has been trained in the source language to produce k-best parses. The best parse is selected based on the parse's alignment with lexicalized parse of the source language sentence. The selected best parse can be used to update the parameter vector of a lexicalized parser for the target language.
Abstract:
A method, a system and a computer program product for ranking reviewable entities based on sentiment expressed about the entities. A plurality of review texts are identified wherein each review text references an entity. A plurality of sentiment scores associated with the plurality of review texts are generated, wherein each sentiment score for a review text indicates a sentiment directed to the entity referenced by the review text. A plurality of ranking scores for the plurality of entities are generated wherein each ranking score is based at least in part on one or more sentiment scores associated with one or more review texts referencing the entity. A plurality of search results associated with the plurality of entities are displayed based at least in part on the ranking scores.
