D+6 Experiment

Hsinchu is currently experiencing overcast conditions but is expected to clear up into a mix of intervals of clouds and sunshine. Expect warm temperatures, with highs reaching up to around 32°C to 33°C (90°F to 91°F), before transitioning to partly cloudy skies in the evening. Central Weather Administration.

Last night 20:48 Jane sent a message saying that she was going to take a break from the Academic Writing Recipe (AWR) and prepare for the final exams on Tuesday the 9th of June. No problem. I will focus on Grace's part. 

Jason picked up what was left behind yesterday and worked a bit in early morning. However, Jason spent more time thinking about the content:

  • What about the grammatical relations (GR) of the collocations? How can GR be predicted for each collocation, when we start with ngrams without syntactic information?
  • How can GRs can extended beyond MCD to include the grammar patterns in Collins COBUILD Project?
  • Semantic tagging also presents some problems with MCD collocate clusters not associated with a definition (e.g., "AVAILABLE ADJ+for "collection, consultation, hire, inspection, purchase, sale, use)
  • Jason asked Google Search (https://www.google.com/search?q=how+do+you+categorize+these+collocates+of+available+ADJ%2Bfor%3A+collection%2C+consultation%2C+hire%2C+inspection%2C+purchase%2C+sale%2C+use) -- How do you categorize these collocates of available ADJ+for: collection, consultation, hire, inspection, purchase, sale, use?
  • Follow-up prompt: more broadly as a single category

    These collocates for the phrase "available for" describe the status or intended function of an item or service. They can be categorized into three distinct functional groups:
  • 1. Acquisition & Ownership
    These words deal with obtaining an item permanently or temporarily.
    • purchase: Buying the item entirely.
    • sale: The item is actively being offered to the public to buy.
    • hire: Renting or temporarily paying for the use of an item (e.g., equipment or a vehicle). [1]
    2. General Use & Access
    These words refer to utilizing, seeing, or picking up an item without ownership transferring.
    • use: Operating, wearing, or otherwise engaging with an item.
    • collection: Picking up an item that has been ordered, held, or reserved (e.g., mail, library holds).
    • inspection: Viewing, examining, or auditing an item (e.g., checking property or documents). [1, 2, 3]
    3. Professional Services
    These collocates refer to seeking out expert information or guidance.
    • consultation: Meeting with a professional (like a doctor, lawyer, or technician) for advice or an assessment. [1]
  • When these nouns follow "available for," they all describe the specific purpose, action, or commercial transaction that an object, place, or professional service is ready to undergo.
  • If your tagging system only uses high-level, broad categories, ACTION (or ACTIVITY) is the correct choice. If your system allows for sub-tags, splitting them into COMMERCIAL ACTION (purchase, sale, hire) and PROCESS/UTILIZATION ACTION (use, inspection, collection, consultation) will give you much more accurate data.

  • Which tagging framework or software are you currently utilizing (e.g., USAS, WordNet, or a custom LLM prompt)?
Prompt: Could you generate Python code to find common supersense of "collection, consultation, hire, inspection, purchase, sale, use"

When you execute this script, WordNet will map the words to their broad semantic fields:
  1. noun.act: This will emerge as the dominant common supersense. It perfectly unifies actions, executions, and transactions like purchase, use, inspection, sale, hire, and consultation.
