This paper presents a method to extract information about research resource metadata from scholarly papers to expand research resource repositories using an academic knowledge graph. Here, we considered the hypothesis that information extracted from scholarly papers is beneficial to expand research resource repositories from two perspectives: (1) the amount of information in existing metadata, and (2) the number of entries in existing repositories. We constructed an academic knowledge graph, where the nodes and directed edges in the graph correspond to the entities and their relations in scholarly papers, respectively. To verify our hypothesis, we constructed a knowledge graph using 15,721 papers published in international conferences. We then investigated the expandability of a language resource metadata repository using the constructed knowledge graph. The experimental results demonstrated that the constructed knowledge graph could be used to enrich the descriptions of metadata and increase the number of entries in the repository.

In Japan, the number of single-person households, particularly among the elderly, is increasing. Consequently, opportunities for people to narrate are being reduced. To address this issue, conversational agents, e.g., communication robots and smart speakers, are expected to play the role of the listener. To realize these agents, this paper describes the collection of conversational responses by listeners that demonstrate attentive listening attitudes toward narrative speakers, and a method to annotate existing narrative speech with responsive utterances is proposed. To summarize, 148,962 responsive utterances by 11 listeners were collected in a narrative corpus comprising 13,234 utterance units. The collected responsive utterances were analyzed in terms of response frequency, diversity, coverage, and naturalness. These results demonstrated that diverse and natural responsive utterances were collected by the proposed method in an efficient and comprehensive manner. To demonstrate the practical use of the collected responsive utterances, an experiment was conducted, in which response generation timings were detected in narratives.

Japanese has widely recognized as relatively free word order language. However, since Japanese word order is not completely arbitrary and has some sort of preference, even native Japanese writers often write Japanese sentences that are grammatically well-formed but not easy to read. Furthermore, in Japanese sentences, a comma plays an important role in explicitly separating the constituents such as words and phrases. This paper proposes a method of word reordering and comma insertion for hard-to-read Japanese sentences so that they become easier to read, as basic technique. Our contribution is to show the feasibility of concurrently performing word reordering, comma insertion, and dependency parsing.

Narrating is a fundamental human desire. In order to satisfy the desire, it is more effective to have multiple listeners listen to narratives than to have one listener does. Conversational agents, e.g., communication robots and smart speakers, are expected to listen to narratives, instead of human listeners. For such agents to be recognized as narrative listeners, it is necessary to generate responsive utterances at appropriate timings. This paper proposes a method to estimate the generation timings of responsive utterances by active listeners of spoken narratives. The proposed method estimates them by encoding acoustic and linguistic information extracted from narratives with a transformer-based approach. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, an experiment was conducted using 131, 616 responsive utterances to narratives. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method was effective for the estimation and both the acoustic and linguistic information was useful.

This paper proposes a new representation for CCG derivations. CCG derivations are represented as trees whose nodes are labeled with categories strictly restricted by CCG rule schemata. This characteristic is not suitable for span-based parsing models because they predict node labels independently. In other words, span-based models may generate invalid CCG derivations that violate the rule schemata. Our proposed representation decomposes CCG derivations into several independent pieces and prevents the span-based parsing models from violating the schemata. Our experimental result shows that an off-the-shelf span-based parser with our representation is comparable with previous CCG parsers.

Natural language inference (NLI) is the task of identifying the inferential relation between a text pair. Neural-based approaches recently achieved high performance on the NLI task, but they cannot explain their reasoning processes. On the other hand, symbolic approaches have an advantage that the reasoning process is understandable to humans. This paper proposes a method to integrate a neural NLI model and a tableau proof system, the latter of which explains the reasoning processes. The standard tableau method consists of decomposing logical formulas by applying inferential rules, and checking whether or not there exists a valuation that satisfies the given constraints. Unlike the standard tableau method, our method adopts not logical formulas but dependency structures as its ingredients and uses a neural NLI model for the latter process. In order to analyze the behavior of a neural NLI model, we conducted an experiment on the neural NLI model alone and the proposed method using the SNLI corpus.

<p>This paper proposes a method for identifying and classifying the research data cited in scholarly papers, aiming at automatic generation of metadata stored in data repository. This study focuses on URL citations in the scholarly papers. That is, the targets are to identify the URLs referring to the research data and to classify them into tool and data. The method is realized as a multi-class classification (tool/data/others). The method acquires the distributed representations of the URLs from the context around them, and uses them as the input feature. There exists an advantage in that the meanings of URLs can be given based on their surrounding words. This study adopts an approach of computing the meaning of the entire URL from those of the components of the URL. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, experiments on URL classification were conducted. The scholarly papers included in the proceedings of the international conference were used as experimental data. Experimental results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed method for identifying and classifying URLs referring to research data.</p>
