In times of mass emergency, users of Twitter (a popular microblogging service) often
communicate information about the event, some of which contributes to situational …

Computational verb lexicons are key to supporting Natural Language Processing (NLP)
systems goals for semantic interpretation. Verbs express the semantics of an event being …

Sentilo is a model and a tool to detect holders and topics of opinion sentences. Sentilo
implements an approach based on the neo-Davidsonian assumption that events and …

Sentilo is an unsupervised, domain-independent system that performs sentiment analysis by
hybridizing natural language processing techniques and semantic Web technologies. Given …

The need for deeper semantic processing of human language by our natural language
processing systems is evidenced by their still-unreliable performance on inferencing tasks …

Verbs occur in different syntactic environments, or frames. We investigate whether artificial
neural networks encode grammatical distinctions necessary for inferring the idiosyncratic …

Event Coreference Resolution (ECR) is the task of linking mentions of the same event either
within or across documents. Most mention pairs are not coreferent, yet many that are …

This paper announces the release of a new version of the English lexical resource VerbNet
with substantially revised semantic representations designed to facilitate computer planning …

Background Recent advances in representation learning have enabled large strides in
natural language understanding; However, verbal reasoning remains a challenge for state …

Existing approaches to automatic VerbNet-style verb classification are heavily dependent on
feature engineering and therefore limited to languages with mature NLP pipelines. In this …
