Presentation:
Computational Rhetoric Approach to Solving Complex NLP Tasks
Computational Rhetoric, i.e. processing of non-literal natural language and detection of rhetorical figures, applied to Sentiment Analysis, Offensive language modelling and detection, Legal Tech, Argumentation Mining and other areas of NLP, has the potential to facilitate deeper, automatic understanding in natural language. In this talk, we will show how computational modelling of rhetorical figures and the relations that exist between their building blocks, can help us come closer to achieving that.
