Monotonicity Marking from Universal Dependency Trees

Understand

Dependency parsing is a tool widely used in the field of Natural language processing and computational linguistics.

• However, there is hardly any work that connects dependency parsing to monotonicity, which is an essential part of logic and linguistic semantics.
• In this paper, we present a system that automatically annotates monotonicity information based on Universal Dependency parse trees.
• Our system utilizes surface-level monotonicity facts about quantifiers, lexical items, and token-level polarity information.
