Vancouver Welcomes You! Minimalist Location Metonymy Resolution
Named entities are frequently used in a metonymic manner. They serve as references to related entities such as people and organisations. Accurate identification and interpretation of metonymy can be directly beneficial to various NLP applications, such as Named Entity Recognition and Geographical Parsing. Until now, metonymy resolution (MR) methods mainly relied on parsers, taggers, dictionaries, external word lists and other handcrafted lexical resources. We show how a minimalist neural approach combined with a novel predicate window method can achieve competitive results on the SemEval 2007 task on Metonymy Resolution. Additionally, we contribute with a new Wikipedia-based MR dataset called RelocaR, which is tailored towards locations as well as improving previous deficiencies in annotation guidelines.

A Large Harvested Corpus of Location Metonymy
Metonymy is a figure of speech in which an entity is referred to by another related entity. The existing datasets of metonymy are either too small in size or lack sufficient coverage. We propose a new, labelled, high-qua…
Target Word Masking for Location Metonymy Resolution
Existing metonymy resolution approaches rely on features extracted from external resources like dictionaries and hand-crafted lexical resources. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end word-level classification approach …
Impact of Target Word and Context on End-to-End Metonymy Detection
Metonymy is a figure of speech in which an entity is referred to by another related entity. The task of metonymy detection aims to distinguish metonymic tokens from literal ones. Until now, metonymy detection methods att…
SentenceConMeC: A Dataset for Metonymy Resolution with Common Nouns
Metonymy plays an important role in our daily communication. People naturally think about things using their most salient properties or commonly related concepts. For example, by saying "The bus decided to skip our stop …
