TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: "Multilingual Harvesting of Cross-Cultural Stereotypes"

People rarely articulate explicitly what a native speaker of a language is already assumed to know. So to acquire the stereotypical knowledge that underpins much of what is said in a given culture, one must look to what is implied by language rather than what is overtly stated. Similes are a convenient vehicle for this kind of knowledge, insofar as they mark out the most salient aspects of the most frequently evoked concepts. | Multilingual Harvesting of Cross-Cultural Stereotypes Tony Veale School of Computer Science University College Dublin Belfield Dublin 4 Ireland Yanfen Hao School of Computer Science University College Dublin Belfield Dublin 4 Ireland Guofu Li School of Computer Science University College Dublin Belfield Dublin 4 Ireland Abstract People rarely articulate explicitly what a native speaker of a language is already assumed to know. So to acquire the stereotypical knowledge that underpins much of what is said in a given culture one must look to what is implied by language rather than what is overtly stated. Similes are a convenient vehicle for this kind of knowledge insofar as they mark out the most salient aspects of the most frequently evoked concepts. In this paper we perform a multilingual exploration of the space of common-place similes by mining a large body of Chinese similes from the web and comparing these to the English similes harvested by Veale and Hao 2007 . We demonstrate that while the simile-frame is inherently leaky in both languages a multilingual analysis allows us to filter much of the noise that otherwise hinders the knowledge extraction process. In doing so we can also identify a core set of stereotypical descriptions that exist in both languages and accurately map these descriptions onto a multilingual lexical ontology like HowNet. Finally we demonstrate that conceptual descriptions that are derived from common-place similes are extremely compact and predictive of ontological structure. 1 Introduction Direct perception of our environment is just one of the ways we can acquire knowledge of the world. Another more distinctly human approach is through the comprehension of linguistic descriptions of another person s perceptions and beliefs. Since computers have limited means of human-like perception the latter approach is also very much suited to the automatic acquisition of world knowledge by a
