“Who is the Madonna of Italian-American Literature?”: Target Entity Extraction and Analysis of Vossian Antonomasia

Michel Schwab, Robert Jäschke, Frank Fischer


Abstract
In this paper, we present approaches for the automated extraction and disambiguation of a part of the stylistic device Vossian Antonomasia (VA), namely the target entity that is described by the expression. We model the problem as a coreference resolution task and a question answering task and also combine both tasks. To tackle these tasks, we utilize state-of-the-art models in these areas. In addition, we visualize the connection between the source and target entities of VA in a web demo to get a deeper understanding of the interaction of entities used in VA expressions.
