A Linguistic Clause Extraction Task is a sentence processing task that focuses on identifying and extracting main linguistic clauses and subordinate linguistic clauses from complex sentences.
- Context:
- It can (typically) aim to separate individual clauses to analyze their functions and relationships within the sentence.
- ...
- It can be solved by a Clause Extraction System (that implements a clause extraction algorithms)
- It can support Sentence Decomposition Tasks (to break down complex sentences into simpler, independent units).
- It can involve determining the boundaries of clauses and their types (e.g., independent or dependent).
- It can require understanding of syntax and semantics to accurately identify clauses and their roles.
- ...
- Example(s):
- ClauseExtraction("
Although the weather was bad, the event continued as planned, and many people attended.")=>
“Although the weather was bad (1), the event continued as planned (2), and many people attended (3)."
- ClauseExtraction("
If you complete the task successfully, you will receive a bonus, but if you fail, there will be consequences.")=>
“If you complete the task successfully (1), you will receive a bonus (2), but if you fail (3), there will be consequences (4)."
- ClauseExtraction("
She said that she would attend, but she hasn’t arrived yet.") ⇒ “She said (1) that she would attend (2), but she hasn’t arrived yet (3)." - ...
- ClauseExtraction("
- Counter-Example(s):
- Sentence Combining, where individual clauses are merged into a complex sentence structure.
- Syntactic Sentence Parsing, which focuses more broadly on the full syntactic structure rather than specifically on clause extraction.
- Legal Clause Extraction (for legal clauses), which focuses on extracting clauses within legal texts rather than general sentence structures.
- Semantic Role Labeling, which assigns roles to parts of a sentence based on their semantic function, not specifically on identifying clauses.
