This paper presents our system submitted for SemEval 2016 Task 10: Detecting Minimal Semantic Units and their Meanings (DiM-SUM;Schneider, Hovy, et al., 2016). We extend AMALGrAM (Schneider and Smith, 2015) by tapping two additional information sources. The first information source uses a semantic knowledge base (YAGO3; Suchanek et al., 2007) to improve supersense tagging (SST) for named entities. The second information source employs word embeddings (GloVe; Pennington et al., 2014) to capture fine-grained latent semantics and therefore improving the supersense identification for both nouns and verbs. We conduct a detailed evaluation and error analysis for our features and come to the conclusion that both our extensions lead to an improved detection for SST.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
