|---|---|---|
| Research Type | Experimental | This paper reports an implemented and evaluated method of automatically resolving elided scopes of modality |
| Researcher Affiliation | Academia | Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute {margemc34, petr.a.babkin}@gmail.com |
| Pseudocode | No | The paper describes its system and processing engines in detail but does not provide any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper states that the system 'could easily be reimplemented in other environments' but does not provide any specific links or explicit statements about the availability of its own source code. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | The system takes as input our indexed version of the Gigaword corpus (Graff and Cieri 2003) |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper describes how examples were selected for manual evaluation (e.g., 'randomly selected about 1/3 of those 161 examples'), but it does not specify explicit training, validation, and test dataset splits needed to reproduce data partitioning for model training. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper does not provide any specific details regarding the hardware (e.g., CPU, GPU models, memory) used for running the experiments or the system. |
| Software Dependencies | Yes | The sentences that are hypothesized to contain modal-scope ellipsis are processed by the Stanford dependency parser (version Stanford-corenlp-201201-08; de Marneffe, Mac Cartney and Manning 2006) |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | This concludes the description of the current state of our ellipsis detection and resolution system. We configured 6 search patterns to detect and resolve simple parallel configurations. When non-modal matrix verbs occur in the sponsor clause, they are usually excluded from the sponsor, e.g., refused to in (5). However, if that non-modal matrix verb is scoped over by modality, then it is included in the sponsor, e.g., ask in (6). This rather coarse-grained rule set has been under refinement since the evaluation reported here, with results to be reported separately. |
