Goal: Given raw text, separate a document into a linear sequence of subtopics.
Tell me in your own words what coherence means? A practical answer: It has meaningful connections between its utterances.Ħ Applications of Computational DiscourseĪutomatic essay grading Automatic summarization Dialogue systems -automatic essay grading: ETS uses some (simple) computational discourse as part of how they automatically score essays -analysis for coherence -comparison to discourse features of well-written essays -summarization: discourse analysis can tell us things about the relative importance of sentences -dialogue systems: I’ll say more about this later -think about the relationship between a question and an answer in a conversation -think about the different ways we make requests without commanding a person to do something What makes a passage coherent? -Discourse is the scaffolding that holds statements together in a passage of text or spoken language. A discourse is a coherent structured group of sentences. What went wrong? -Do they make sense? Maybe, but not in the way that the writer originally intended.ĥ What Is Discourse? Discourse is the coherent structure of language above the level of sentences or clauses. All the same sentences are still there in the second version. The second version of the passage has the same sentences in a different order. He was speaking about struggling companies. In 1985 Mr Jobs was pushed out of Apple Computer, the firm he had helped found, only to return after a decade away. In doing so, he mounted one of capitalism’s most celebrated comebacks. “Near-death experiences can help one see more clearly sometimes,” said Steve Jobs. *Yet he could easily have been talking about his own life. Yet he could easily have been talking about his own life. First example: these aren’t arbitrary sentences tossed together -They have a relationshipĤ Another Example “Near-death experiences can help one see more clearly sometimes,” said Steve Jobs. Started with zero semantics: just parse trees -Then: Semantics of words in isolation then predicates (semantic structures) -Now we’re going to look at how sentences relate to each other -We will spend more time than usual talking about theory Word sense disambiguation Coreference resolution Semantic role labeling Meaning representation languages Discourse and pragmatics Compositional semantics, semantic parsing -We’re extracting progressively more complicated forms of meaning from language.
We find that pronoun use reflects a complex interaction between the content of the pronoun, the grammar of the text, and the relation of text and image.Discourse, Entity Linking, and PragmaticsĢ Semantics Road Map Lexical semantics Disambiguating words To explore this hypothesis and better understand the relationship between image context and text interpretation, we annotated an image-text data set with coherence relations and pronoun information.
#Coherence meaning for nlp license#
Specifically, language users may need an appropriate coherence relation between text and imagery to license and resolve pronouns.
While visual salience may be enough to allow a writer to use a pronoun to refer to a prominent entity in the image, coherence theory suggests that pronoun use is more restricted. In image-text presentations from online discourse, pronouns can refer to entities depicted in images, even if these entities are not otherwise referred to in a text caption.
