This paper presents the results of a s t u d y on the semantic constraints imposed on lexical choice by certain contextual indicators. We show how such indicators are computed and how correlations between them and the choice of a noun phrase description of a named entity can be automatically established using supervised learning. Based on this correlation, we have developed a technique for automatic lexical choice of descriptions of entities in text generation. | Learning Correlations between Linguistic Indicators and Semantic Constraints Reuse of Context-Dependent Descriptions of Entities Dragomir R. Radev Department of Computer Science Columbia University New York NY 10027 radev@ Abstract This paper presents the results of a study on the semantic constraints imposed on lexical choice by certain contextual indicators. We show how such indicators are computed and how correlations between them and the choice of a noun phrase description of a named entity can be automatically established using supervised learning. Based on this correlation we have developed a technique for automatic lexical choice of descriptions of entities in text generation. We discuss the underlying relationship between the pragmatics of choosing an appropriate description that serves a specific purpose in the automatically generated text and the semantics of the description itself. We present our work in the framework of the more general concept of reuse of linguistic structures that are automatically extracted from large corpora. We present a formal evaluation of our approach and we conclude with some thoughts on potential applications of our method. 1 Introduction Human writers constantly make deliberate decisions about picking a particular way of expressing a certain concept. These decisions are made based on the topic of the text and the effect that the writer wants to achieve. Such contextual and pragmatic constraints are obvious to experienced writers who produce context-specific text without much effort. However in order for a computer to produce text in a similar way either these constraints have to be added manually by an expert or the system must be able to acquire them in an automatic way. An example related to the lexical choice of an appropriate nominal description of a person should make the above clear. Even though it seems intuitive that Bill Clinton should always be described with the NP U. s. president or a variation .
