In-depth Exploitation of Noun and Verb Semantics to Identify Causation in Verb-Noun Pairs

Recognizing Causality in Verb-Noun Pairs via Noun and Verb Semantics

A Factorized Model for Transitive Verbs in Compositional Distributional Semantics

We present a factorized compositional distributional semantics model for the representation of transitive verb constructions. Our model first produces (subject, verb) and (verb, object) vector representations based on th…

Paraphrasing Verbs for Noun Compound Interpretation

An important challenge for the automatic analysis of English written text is the abundance of noun compounds: sequences of nouns acting as a single noun. In our view, their semantics is best characterized by the set of a…

Sensorimotor Input as a Language Generalisation Tool: A Neurorobotics Model for Generation and Generalisation of Noun-Verb Combinations with Sensorimotor Inputs

The paper presents a neurorobotics cognitive model to explain the understanding and generalisation of nouns and verbs combinations when a vocal command consisting of a verb-noun sentence is provided to a humanoid robot. …

Noun2Verb: Probabilistic frame semantics for word class conversion

Humans can flexibly extend word usages across different grammatical classes, a phenomenon known as word class conversion. Noun-to-verb conversion, or denominal verb (e.g., to Google a cheap flight), is one of the most pr…
