Abstract

Since sentences are the basic propositional units of text, knowing their themes should help various tasks requiring the knowledge about the semantic content of text. In this paper, we examine the notion of sentence theme and propose an automatic scheme where head-driven patterns are used for theme assignment. We tested our scheme with sentences in encyclopedia articles and obtained a promising result of 98.96% in F-score for training data and 88.57% for testing data, which outperform the baseline.
