Aligning Script Events with Narrative Texts
Simon Ostermann, Michael Roth, Stefan Thater, Manfred Pinkal
Abstract
Script knowledge plays a central role in text understanding and is relevant for a variety of downstream tasks. In this paper, we consider two recent datasets which provide a rich and general representation of script events in terms of paraphrase sets. We introduce the task of mapping event mentions in narrative texts to such script event types, and present a model for this task that exploits rich linguistic representations as well as information on temporal ordering. The results of our experiments demonstrate that this complex task is indeed feasible.- Anthology ID:
