Anytime in the morning would be fine. Partner: John Day: Tuesday Location: Mattin Ctr Topic: Coffee Time of Day: Morning Or should this be 8am-12pm?

  5. How do we write general rules? • Finite State Machines • (regular expressions) • Extraction from partial parses • Full Parsing

  6. Rules with Assigned Semantic Roles Meet with <partner> on <date>. On <date> I want to meet <partner>. Many patterns fill the same template slots.

  7. How can we write these rules? • Manually enumerate them? • <company> manufactures <product> • Any other ways to automatically rewrite this?

  8. Semantic Lexicons <company> manufactures <product> Laughter manufactures happiness. How could we avoid this problem?

  9. Can we learn them? I’d like to meet John on Tuesday in the Mattin Center coffee shop. We should discuss policies on coffee consumption in the computer science department. Anytime in the morning would be fine. Partner: John Day: Tuesday Location: Mattin Ctr Topic: Coffee Time of Day: Morning

  13. How about if we have templates without text? Person : Mozart Birthyear : 1756 Can we gather text somehow?

  14. Web Search to generate patterns Web pages w/“Mozart” “1756” Sentences with “Mozart” “1756” Substrings with “Mozart” “1756”

  15. How can we pick good patterns? • Frequent ones may be too general • Infrequent ones not that useful • Want precise, specific ones Use held out templates to evaluate patterns

  16. How about pages but no templates? • Have a set of pages marked as either on topic or off topic • Look for all possible patterns • Estimate which patterns are most likely to occur on a marked up page • Manually screen resulting patterns
