Semi Supervised Preposition-Sense Disambiguation using Multilingual Data
Prepositions are very common and very ambiguous, and understanding their sense is critical for understanding the meaning of the sentence. Supervised corpora for the preposition-sense disambiguation task are small, suggesting a semi-supervised approach to the task. We show that signals from unannotated multilingual data can be used to improve supervised preposition-sense disambiguation. Our approach pre-trains an LSTM encoder for predicting the translation of a preposition, and then incorporates the pre-trained encoder as a component in a supervised classification system, and fine-tunes it for the task. The multilingual signals consistently improve results on two preposition-sense datasets.

Question AnsweringComprehensive Supersense Disambiguation of English Prepositions and Possessives
Semantic relations are often signaled with prepositional or possessive marking--but extreme polysemy bedevils their analysis and automatic interpretation. We introduce a new annotation scheme, corpus, and task for the di…

Prepositions are highly polysemous, and their variegated senses encode significant semantic information. In this paper we match each preposition{'}s left- and right context, and their interplay to the geometry of the wor…
