Incorporating Selectional Preferences in Multi-hop Relation Extraction

How Relevant Are Selectional Preferences for Transformer-based Language Models?

Selectional preference is defined as the tendency of a predicate to favor particular arguments within a certain linguistic context, and likewise, reject others that result in conflicting or implausible meanings. The stel…

Improving Statistical Machine Translation with Selectional Preferences

Long-distance semantic dependencies are crucial for lexical choice in statistical machine translation. In this paper, we study semantic dependencies between verbs and their arguments by modeling selectional preferences i…

Effective Selectional Restrictions for Unsupervised Relation Extraction

Revisiting Selectional Preferences for Coreference Resolution

Selectional preferences have long been claimed to be essential for coreference resolution. However, they are mainly modeled only implicitly by current coreference resolvers. We propose a dependency-based embedding model …

Concept-based Selectional Preferences and Distributional Representations from Wikipedia Articles

This paper describes the derivation of distributional semantic representations for open class words relative to a concept inventory, and of concepts relative to open class words through grammatical relations extracted fr…
