Abstract
We present a semantic parsing system to decompose a sentence into semantic-expressions/concepts for ESWC’14 semantic analysis challenge. The proposed system has a pipeline architecture, and is based on syntactic parsing and semantic role labeling of the candidate sentence. For the former task, we use Stanford English parser; and for the later task, we use an in-house developed semantic role labeling system. From the syntactically and semantically annotated sentence, the concepts are formulated using a set of hand-build concept-formulation patterns. We compare the proposed system’s performance to SenticNet with the help of few examples.
