  • Scenario passage pair recognizer, scenario classifier, and computer program therefor
    Patent number: 10963646
    Abstract: A scenario passage pair recognizer includes: a text passage searching unit searching a set of text passages each including no more than a certain number of sentences of a document, and within which all noun phrases included in a scenario candidate co-occur; a feature extracting unit extracting a feature from each combination of the scenario candidate and each searched support passage; a classifier outputting a score indicating reliability of the scenario candidate based on the support passage as a source of the feature; and a score accumulating unit and a maximum value selecting unit, accumulating the scores output from the classifier and selecting the maximum value as the reliability of the scenario candidate. The scenario classifier determines plausibility of the scenario candidate as a causality based on the feature including the score output from the scenario passage pair recognizer.
