Computational Models of Language Meaning in Context (Dagstuhl Seminar 13462)

Authors: Hans Kamp, Alessandro Lenci, and James Pustejovsky

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 3, Issue 11 (2014)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 13462 "Computational Models of Language Meaning in Context". The seminar addresses one of the most significant issues to arise in contemporary formal and computational models of language and inference: that of the role and expressiveness of distributional models of semantics and statistically derived models of language and linguistic behavior. The availability of very large corpora has brought about a near revolution in computational linguistics and language modeling, including machine translation, information extraction, and question-answering. Several new models of language meaning are emerging that provide potential formal interpretations of linguistic patterns emerging from these distributional datasets. But whether such systems can provide avenues for formal and robust inference and reasoning is very much still uncertain. This seminar examines the relationship between classical models of language meaning and distributional models, and the role of corpora, annotations, and the distributional models derived over these data. To our knowledge, there have been no recent Dagstuhl Seminars on this or related topics.

10131 Executive Summary and Abstracts Collection – Spatial Representation and Reasoning in Language: Ontologies and Logics of Space

Authors: John Bateman, Anthony G. Cohn, and James Pustejovsky

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10131, Spatial Representation and Reasoning in Language : Ontologies and Logics of Space (2011)

Abstract
The goal of this seminar was to bring together researchers from diverse disciplines to address the spatial semantics of natural language, the interface between spatial semantics and geospatial representations, and the role of ontologies in reasoning about spatial concepts in language and thought.

Argument Structure in TimeML

Authors: James Pustejovsky, Jessica Littman, and Roser Sauri

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5151, Annotating, Extracting and Reasoning about Time and Events (2005)

Abstract
TimeML is a specification language for the annotation of events and temporal expressions in natural language text. In addition, the language introduces three relational tags linking temporal objects and events to one another. These links impose both aspectual and temporal ordering over time objects, as well as mark up subordination contexts introduced by modality, evidentiality, and factivity. Given the richness of this specification, the TimeML working group decided not to include the arguments of events within the language specification itself. Full reasoning and inference over natural language texts clearly requires knowledge of events along with their participants. In this paper, we define the appropriate role of argumenthood within event markup and propose that TimeML should make a basic distinction between arguments that are events and those that are entities. We first review how TimeML treats event arguments in subordinating and aspectual contexts, creating event-event relations between predicate and argument. As it turns out, these constructions cover a large number of the argument types selected for by event predicates. We suggest that TimeML be enriched slightly to include causal predicates, such as {it lead to}, since these also involve event-event relations. We propose that all other verbal arguments be ignored by the specification, and any predicate-argument binding of participants to an event should be performed by independent means. In fact, except for the event-denoting arguments handled by the extension to TimeML proposed here, almost full temporal ordering of the events in a text can be computed without argument identification.

05151 Summary – Annotating, Extracting and Reasoning about Time and Events

Authors: Graham Katz, James Pustejovsky, and Frank Schilder

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5151, Annotating, Extracting and Reasoning about Time and Events (2005)

Abstract
The main focus of the seminar was on TimeML-based temporal annotation and reasoning. We were concerned with three main points: determining how effectively one can use the TimeML language for consistent annotation, determining how useful such annotation is for further processing, and determining what modifications should be applied to the standard to improve its usefulness in applications such as question-answering and information retrieval.
