Abstract

Social context understanding is a fundamental problem on social analysis. Social contexts are usually short, informal and incomplete and these characteristics make methods for formal texts give poor performance on social contexts. However, we discover part of relations between importance words in formal texts are helpful to understand social contexts. We propose a method that extracts semantic chunks using these relations to express social contexts. A semantic chunk is a phrase which is meaningful and significant expression describing the fist of given texts. We exploit semantic chunks by utilizing knowledge learned from semantically parsed corpora and knowledge base. Experimental results on Chinese and English data sets demonstrate that our approach improves the performance significantly.
