QA-Noun: Representing Nominal Semantics via Natural Language Question-Answer Pairs

2025-11-16 · Maria Tseytlin, Paul Roit, Omri Abend, Ido Dagan, Ayal Klein arxiv

Decomposing sentences into fine-grained meaning units is increasingly used to model semantic alignment. While QA-based semantic approaches have shown effectiveness for representing predicate-argument relations, they have so far left noun-centered semantics largely unaddressed. We introduce QA-Noun, a QA-based framework for capturing noun-centered semantic relations. QA-Noun defines nine question templates that cover both explicit syntactical and implicit contextual roles for nouns, producing interpretable QA pairs that complement verbal QA-SRL. We release detailed guidelines, a dataset of over 2,000 annotated noun mentions, and a trained model integrated with QA-SRL to yield a unified decomposition of sentence meaning into individual, highly fine-grained, facts. Evaluation shows that QA-Noun achieves near-complete coverage of AMR's noun arguments while surfacing additional contextually implied relations, and that combining QA-Noun with QA-SRL yields over 130\% higher granularity than recent fact-based decomposition methods such as FactScore and DecompScore. QA-Noun thus complements the broader QA-based semantic framework, forming a comprehensive and scalable approach to fine-grained semantic decomposition for cross-text alignment.

Noun2Verb: Probabilistic frame semantics for word class conversion

2022-05-12 · Lei Yu, Yang Xu

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…

Deverbal semantics and the Montagovian generative lexicon

2014-01-25 · Livy-Maria Real-Coelho, Christian Retoré

We propose a lexical account of action nominals, in particular of deverbal nominalisations, whose meaning is related to the event expressed by their base verb. The literature about nominalisations often assumes that the …

Automatic Nominalization of Clauses

2022-10-01 · COLING 2022 10 · John S. Y. Lee, Ho Hung Lim, Carol Webster, Anton Melser

Nominalization re-writes a clause as a noun phrase. It requires the transformation of the head verb of the clause into a deverbal noun, and the verb’s modifiers into nominal modifiers. Past research has focused on the se…

Representing Verbs as Argument Concepts

2018-03-02 · Yu Gong, Kaiqi Zhao, Kenny Q. Zhu

Verbs play an important role in the understanding of natural language text. This paper studies the problem of abstracting the subject and object arguments of a verb into a set of noun concepts, known as the "argument con…
