SOCIOFILLMORE: A Tool for Discovering Perspectives
This tool addresses the need for non-NLP researchers to analyze perspectives in text, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing parsing methods.
The researchers tackled the problem of identifying perspectives in text by developing SOCIOFILLMORE, a multilingual tool based on frame semantics and cognitive linguistics, which uses the LOME parser and is validated with human judgments.
SOCIOFILLMORE is a multilingual tool which helps to bring to the fore the focus or the perspective that a text expresses in depicting an event. Our tool, whose rationale we also support through a large collection of human judgements, is theoretically grounded on frame semantics and cognitive linguistics, and implemented using the LOME frame semantic parser. We describe SOCIOFILLMORE's development and functionalities, show how non-NLP researchers can easily interact with the tool, and present some example case studies which are already incorporated in the system, together with the kind of analysis that can be visualised.
