FrameNet

Filed under: Frames,Semantics — Patrick Durusau @ 2:08 pm

FrameNet

From the about page:

The FrameNet project is building a lexical database of English that is both human- and machine-readable, based on annotating examples of how words are used in actual texts. From the student’s point of view, it is a dictionary of more than 10,000 word senses, most of them with annotated examples that show the meaning and usage. For the researcher in Natural Language Processing, the more than 170,000 manually annotated sentences provide a unique training dataset for semantic role labeling, used in applications such as information extraction, machine translation, event recognition, sentiment analysis, etc. For students and teachers of linguistics it serves as a valence dictionary, with uniquely detailed evidence for the combinatorial properties of a core set of the English vocabulary. The project has been in operation at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley since 1997, supported primarily by the National Science Foundation, and the data is freely available for download; it has been downloaded and used by researchers around the world for a wide variety of purposes (See FrameNet users).

FrameNet is based on a theory of meaning called Frame Semantics, deriving from the work of Charles J. Fillmore and colleagues (Fillmore 1976, 1977, 1982, 1985, Fillmore and Baker 2001, 2010). The basic idea is straightforward: that the meanings of most words can best be understood on the basis of a semantic frame: a description of a type of event, relation, or entity and the participants in it. For example, the concept of cooking typically involves a person doing the cooking (Cook), the food that is to be cooked (Food), something to hold the food while cooking (Container) and a source of heat (Heating_instrument). In the FrameNet project, this is represented as a frame called Apply_heat, and the Cook, Food, Heating_instrument and Container are called frame elements (FEs) . Words that evoke this frame, such as fry, bake, boil, and broil, are called lexical units (LUs) of the Apply_heat frame. Other frames are more complex, such as Revenge, which involves more FEs (Offender, Injury, Injured_Party, Avenger, and Punishment) and others are simpler, such as Placing, with only an Agent (or Cause), a thing that is placed (called a Theme) and the location in which it is placed (Goal). The job of FrameNet is to define the frames and to annotate sentences to show how the FEs fit syntactically around the word that evokes the frame, as in the following examples of Apply_heat and Revenge:

At least for English based topic maps, possibly a rich source for roles in association and even templates for associations.

To say nothing of using associations (frames) as scopes.

Recalling that the frames themselves do not stand outside of semantics but have semantics of their own.

Suggestions of similar resources in other languages?

TinkerPop2 Release

Filed under: Blueprints,Frames,Gremlin,Pipes,Rexster,TinkerPop — Patrick Durusau @ 5:56 pm

A message from Marko Rodriguez announced the release of TinkerPop2 with notes on the major features of each:

Blueprints: https://github.com/tinkerpop/blueprints/wiki/Release-Notes
– Massive changes to blueprints-core API
Pipes: https://github.com/tinkerpop/pipes/wiki/Release-Notes
– TreePipe added for exposing the spanning tree of a traversal
Gremlin: https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki/Release-Notes
– Automatic path and query optimizations
– https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/downloads (download)
Frames: https://github.com/tinkerpop/frames/wiki/Release-Notes
– FramedGraph is simply a wrapper graph in the Blueprints sense
Rexster: https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster/wiki/Release-Notes
– Synchronicity with the Blueprints API
– https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster/downloads (download)

BTW, Marko says:

As you may know, there are big changes to the API: package renaming, new core API method names, etc. While this may be shocking, it is all worth it. In 2 weeks, there is going to be a release of something very big for which TinkerPop2 will be a central piece of the puzzle. Stay tuned and get ready for a summer of insane, crazy graph madness.

So, something to look forward to!

A TinkerPop Story

Filed under: Blueprints,Frames,Furnace,Gremlin,Pipes,Rexster,TinkerPop — Patrick Durusau @ 7:45 pm

A TinkerPop Story

From the post:

In a time long, long right now and a place far, far within, there exists a little green gremlin named…well, Gremlin. Gremlin lives in a place known as TinkerPop. For those who think of a “place” as some terrestrial surface coating a sphere that is circling one of the many massive fiery nuclear reactors in the known universe, TinkerPop is that, yet at the same time, a wholly different type of place indeed.

In a day of obscure (are there any other kind?) errors and annoyances, this is an absolute delight!

Highly recommended!

Furnace — A Property Graph Algorithms Package

Filed under: Algorithms,Blueprints,Frames,Furnace,Graphs,Gremlin,Neo4j,Pipes,Rexster,TinkerPop — Patrick Durusau @ 7:48 pm

Furnace — A Property Graph Algorithms Package

Marko Rodriguez posted the following note to the Grelim-users mailing list today:

Hello,

For many months, the TinkerPop community has been trying to realize the best way to go about providing a graph analysis package to the TinkerPop stack ( http://bit.ly/qCMlcP ). With the increased flexibility and power of Pipes and the partitioning of Gremlin into multiple JVM languages, we feel that the stack is organized correctly now to support Furnace — A Property Graph Algorithms Package.

http://furnace.tinkerpop.com
( https://github.com/tinkerpop/furnace/wiki if the domain hasn’t propagated to your DNS yet )

The project is currently just stubbed, but overtime you can expect the ability to evaluate standard (and non-standard) graph analysis algorithms over Blueprints-enabled graphs in a way that respects explicit and implicit associations in the graph. In short, it will implement the ideas articulated in:

http://markorodriguez.com/2011/02/08/property-graph-algorithms/
http://arxiv.org/abs/0806.2274

This will be possible due to Pipes and the ability to represent abstract relationships using Pipes, Gremlin_groovy (and the upcoming Gremlin_scala). Moreover, while more thought is needed, there will be a way to talk at the Frames-levels (http://frames.tinkerpop.com) and thus, calculate graph algorithms according to one’s domain model. Ultimately, in time, as Furnace develops, we will see a Rexster-Kibble that supports the evaluation of algorithms via Rexster.

While the project is still developing, please feel free to contribute ideas and/or participate in the development process. To conclude, we hope people are excited about the promises that Furnace will bring by raising the processing abstraction level above the imperative representations of Pipes/Gremlin.

Thank you,
Marko.

You have been waiting for the opportunity to contribute to the Tinkerpop stack, particularly on graph analysis, so here is your chance! Seriously, you need to forward this to every graph person, graph project and graduate student taking graph theory.

We can use simple graphs and hope (pray?) the world is a simple place. Or use more complex graphs to model the world. Do you feel lucky? Do you?

Tinkerpop Stack Releases

Filed under: Blueprints,Frames,Gremlin,Rexster — Patrick Durusau @ 7:28 pm

Marko Rodriguez announced a new round of Tinkerpop Stack Releases today:

The TinkerPop stack went through another round of releases this morning.

  • Blueprints 1.0 (Blueprints): = https://github.com/tinkerpop/blueprints/wiki/Release-Notes
  • Pipes 0.8 (Cleaner): = https://github.com/tinkerpop/pipes/wiki/Release-Notes
  • Frames 0.5 (Beams): = https://github.com/tinkerpop/frames/wiki/Release-Notes
  • Gremlin 1.3 (On the Case): = https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki/Release-Notes
  • Rexster 0.6 (Dalmatian): = https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster/wiki/Release-Notes
    • Rexster-Kibbles 0.6 = http://rexster-kibbles.tinkerpop.com

For those using Gremlin, Pipes, and Rexster, be sure to look through the release notes as APIs have changed slightly. Here are the main points of this release:

  • Blueprints now has transaction buffers and Neo4jBatchGraph for bulk loading a Neo4j graph.
  • Pipes makes use of FluentPipeline and PipeFunction which yields great expressivity and further opens up the framework to other JVM languages.
  • Gremlin is ~2.5x faster in many situations and has relegated most of its functionality to Pipes and native Java.
  • Rexster supports Neo4j High Availability and more updates to its REST API.

Cloning Tinkerpop Repositories

Filed under: Blueprints,Frames,Gremlin,Neo4j,Pipes,Rexster — Patrick Durusau @ 2:55 pm

Instructions on creating a local copy of the Gremlin wiki (posted to the gremlin-users@googlegroups.com mailing list by Pierre De Wilde).

The instructions (with minor formatting changes) from his post:

For those who want a local copy of Gremlin wiki:

cd gremlin
git clone https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin.wiki.git
  doc/wiki
cd doc/wiki
gollum

Open your browser at http://localhost:4567 and ta-da…

Moreover, the wiki is searchable and (unlike the github version) it’s printer-fiendly.

Gollum is a simple wiki system built on top of Git that powers GitHub Wikis.

https://github.com/github/gollum

To install Gollum, use RubyGems (http://rubygems.org/):

[sudo] gem install gollumcd cd

Of course, the same procedure may be applied for other Tinkerpop repositories (blueprints, pipes, frames, rexster, rexster-kibbles).

Unfortunately, gollum cannot access multiple repositories at once, so you will need to launch several versions with a different port (gollum -port xxxx)

Thanks Pierre!
