摘要
En 中文
Causality is an important type of relation which is crucial in numerous tasks, such as predicting future events, generating scenario, question answering, textual entailment and discourse comprehension. Therefore, causality extraction is a fundamental task in text mining. Many efforts have been dedicated to extracting causality from texts utilizing patterns, constraints and machine learning techniques. This paper presents a new Restricted Hidden Naive Bayes model to extract causality from texts. Besides some commonly used features, such as contextual features, syntactic features, position features, we also utilize a new category feature of causal connectives. This new feature is obtained from the tree kernel similarity of sentences containing connectives. In previous studies, the features have been usually assumed to be independent, which is not the case in reality. The advantage of our model lies in its ability to cope with partial interactions among features so as to avoid over-fitting problem on Hidden Naive Bayes model, especially the interaction between the connective category and the syntactic structure of sentences. Evaluation on a public dataset shows that our method goes beyond all the baselines. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V.
