  1. Automatic Detection of Causal Relations for Question Answering (2003 · 450 citations)
    Girju addresses the automatic extraction of explicit causal relations within a sentence. Earlier systems relied on hand-written, domain-bound patterns. Here the focus is on noun–verb–noun constructions (NP1 verb NP2) where the verb is a simple causative that is often ambiguous, such as produce or generate .
  2. Learning Semantic Constraints for the Automatic Discovery of Part-Whole Relations (2003 · 300 citations)
    The paper tackles automatic detection of part-whole (meronymy) relations in English text. The most frequent surface patterns for this relation, such as genitives and "have"-type verbs, are highly ambiguous. The authors first gathered meronymic lexico-syntactic patterns semi-automatically. They took 100 WordNet…
  3. SemEval-2007 Task 04: Classification of Semantic Relations between Nominals (2007 · 91 citations)
    This SemEval-2007 task set up a shared benchmark for deciding which semantic relation holds between two nominals (nouns or base noun phrases, not named entities) marked in an English sentence.
  4. Unsupervised Construction of a Lexicon and a Repository of Variation Patterns for Arabic Modal Multiword Expressions (2014 · 6 citations)
    The authors fill a gap in Arabic NLP: no lexicon or pattern resource existed for Arabic Modal Multiword Expressions (AM-MWEs).
  5. Exploring the Sensory Spaces of English Perceptual Verbs in Natural Language Data (2021 · 1 citation)
    The paper asks how English text encodes sensory experience. It focuses on the most frequent perception verbs and splits them along two axes. The first is an Agentive vs. Experiential contrast: look/see, listen/hear and touch/feel. The second is the five sense modalities, with smell and taste standing alone because…
