For each lexical predicate we calculated the conditional probability of each semantic class using Formula 1, resulting in a ranking of semantic classes.

Since not all classes are equally relevant to the lexical predicate 7r, we estimate the conditional probability of each class c E 0 given 7r on the basis of the number of sentences which contain an argument in that class.

To enable wide coverage we estimate a second conditional probability based on the distributional semantic profile of each class.

Then the conditional probabilities between potential opinion target wt and potential opinion word wo can be es-

P (wt|w0) means the conditional probabilities between two words.

At the same time, we can obtain conditional probability P (w0|wt).

The above example illustrates how MNB-FM can leverage frequency marginal statistics computed over unlabeled data to improve MNB’s conditional probability estimates.

MNB-FM improves the conditional probability estimates in MNB and, surprisingly, we found that it can often improve these estimates for words that do not even occur in the training set.

For each word in the vocabulary, we compared each classifier’s conditional probability ratios, i.e.

We suppose this could bring at least two benefits: 1) a proper measure on the preferences can make the discovering of nearby predicates with similar preferences to be more accurate; 2) while propagation, we propagate the scored preferences, rather than the raw counts or conditional probabilities , which could be more proper and agree with the nature of SP smooth.

Some introduce conditional probability (CP) p(a|q) for the decision of preference judgements (Chambers and Jurafsky, 2010; Erk et al., 2010; Seaghdha, 2010).

In this mode, we always set Pr(q, a) as the conditional probability p(a|q) for the propagation function, despite what \11 is used for the distance function.
