In a pun, the\nalgorithm discovers two groups of words that belong to two main semantic\nfields. The fields become a semantic vector based on which an SVM classifier\nlearns to recognize puns. A rule-based model is then applied for recognition of\nintentionally ambiguous (target) words and their definitions. In SemEval Task 7\nPunFields shows a considerably good result in pun classification, but requires\nimprovement in searching for the target word and its definition.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1707.05479v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.05479v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"punfields-at-semeval-2017-task-7-employing","repo_url":"https://github.com/evrog/PunFields","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"classification","task_name":"General Classification"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"svm","method_name":"SVM"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1707.05479","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1707.05479","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
