Perhaps the simplest way of using LSPs for event relation acquisition can be seen in the method Chklovski and Pantel (2005) employ to develop their knowledge resource called VerbOcean. Their method uses a small number of manually selected generic LSPs such as to Verb-X and then Verb-Y 1 to obtain six types of semantic relations including strength (e.g. taint -poison) and happens-before (e.g. marry -divorce). The use of such generic patterns, however, tends to be high recall but low precision.

For example, some devise heuristic statistical scores and report their impact on precision (Chklovski and Pantel, 2005; Torisawa, 2006; Zanzotto et al., 2006) . Another way is to incorporate a classifier trained with supervision. Inui et al. (2003) , for example, use a Japanese generic causal connective marker tame (because) and a supervised classifier learner to separately obtain four types of causal relations: cause, precondition, effect and means. More recently, Abe et al. (2008) propose to extend Pantel and Pennac-chiotti (2006) 's Espresso algorithm, which induces specific reliable LSPs in a bootstrapping manner for entity-entity relation extraction, so that the extended algorithm can apply to event relations. Their method learns a large number of relatively specific patterns such as cannot find out (something) due to the lack of investigation in a boot-strapping fashion, which produces a remarkable improvement on precision.", | |

This approach uses information of argument fillers (i.e. anchors) of each event expression as a useful clue for identifying event relations. A popular way of using such argument information relies on the distributional hypothesis (Harris, 1968) and identifies synonymous event expressions by seeking a set of event expressions whose argument fillers have a similar distribution.

For example, if a pair of clauses Mary bought a house. and The house belongs to Mary. appear in a single local discourserelated context, two pairs of verbs, buy(obj:X)belong(subj:X) and buy(subj:X) -belong(to:X) are identified as candidate entailment pairs.", | |

| "text": "It is by now clear that the above two approaches, which apparently have emerged somewhat independently, could play a complementary role with each other. Pattern-based methods, on the one hand, are designed to be capable of discriminating relatively fine-grained relation types. For example, the patterns used by Chklovski and Pantel (2005) identify six relation types, while Abe et al. (2008) identify two of the four causal relation types defined by Inui et al. (2003) . However, these methods are severely limited for the purpose of shared argument identification because lexicosyntactic patterns are not a good indication of argument-shared structure in general. The anchorbased approach, on the other hand, works well for identifying shared arguments simply because it relies on argument information in identifying synonymous or entailment verb pairs. However, it has no direct means to discriminate more fine-grained specific relations such as causality and backward presupposition. To sum up, the pattern-based approach tends to be rather relation-oriented while the anchor-based approach tends to be argumentoriented.", | |

The method we explore in this paper is illustrated in Figure 1 . The overall process has two phrases: predicate pair acquisition followed by shared argument identification. Given a relation type for acquisition, we first acquire candidate predicate pairs that are likely to be of the given relation exploiting a state-of-the-art pattern-based method. We then, in the second phase, seek anchors indicative of the shared argument for each acquired predicate pair. We consider two kinds of anchors: instance-based anchors and type-based anchors. If anchors are found, the predicate pair is verified and the associated argument pair is identified as the shared argument; otherwise, the predicate pair is discarded. As we demonstrate in the section for empirical evaluation, this verification process boosts the accuracy as well as identifying shared arguments.", | |

For example, while nomu (drink) does not necessarily result in futsukayoi-ni naru (have a hangover), the assessors judged this pair correct because one can at least say that the latter sometimes happens as a result of the former. An action-means relation, on the other hand, holds between events x and y if and only if volitional action y is likely to be done as a part/means of volitional action x.

For judging the correctness of an argument pair, we had three degrees of strictness.
