title: Towards a Tractable Model of Thematic Roles
(Joint work with Carl Vogel)
abstract:
Thematic roles (such as agent, patient and benefactor) have been around
for more than 30 years. They are employed widely in grammatical
theories, knowledge representation schemas and natural language
engineering to encode relationships between predicates and their
arguments. However there is a distinct lack of consensus of what roles
exist and how they should be applied. We are using a combination of
corpus linguistic, psycho-linguistic and computational methodologies to
work towards a unified model of roles, that is both psychologically
plausible and computationally tractable.
We would be very grateful if you would participate in the pilot version
of our psychometric test on film scripts
(http://www.cs.tcd.ie/Brian.Murphy/bestest/introduction.html). Your
responses will then be presented as preliminary results at the talk.
Please mail Brian (Brian.Murphy@cs.tcd.ie) to obtain a password for the
experiment.
