Approximating Givenness in Content Assessment through Distributional Semantics
2016
Proceedings of the Fifth Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics
Givenness (Schwarzschild, 1999) is one of the central notions in the formal pragmatic literature discussing the organization of discourse. In this paper, we explore where distributional semantics can help address the gap between the linguistic insights into the formal pragmatic notion of Givenness and its implementation in computational linguistics. As experimental testbed, we focus on short answer assessment, in which the goal is to assess whether a student response correctly answers the
