"abstract": "In this paper, we propose the use of Message Sequence Charts (MSC) as a representation for visualizing narrative text in Hindi. An MSC is a formal representation allowing the depiction of actors and interactions among these actors in a scenario, apart from supporting a rich framework for formal inference. We propose an approach to extract MSC actors and interactions from a Hindi narrative. As a part of the approach, we enrich an existing event annotation scheme where we provide guidelines for annotation of the mood of events (realis vs irrealis) and guidelines for annotation of event arguments. We report performance on multiple evaluation criteria by experimenting with Hindi narratives from Indian History. Though Hindi is the fourth most-spoken first language in the world, from the NLP perspective it has comparatively lesser resources than English. Moreover, there is relatively less work in the context of event processing in Hindi. Hence, we believe that this work is among the initial works for Hindi event processing.",

MSC representation captures all the actors and interactions in an easy to visualize manner and hence make the text more comprehensible. Further, the representation's support for inference mechanisms opens up possibilities of tackling natural language understanding problems like text comprehension and question answering. Our work is similar to (Palshikar et al., 2019) to represent a English narrative using MSC.

Annotation of events with Light Verb Constructs (LVCs): LVCs are formed from a commonly used verb and usually a noun phrase (NP) in its direct object position, such as have a look or take an action. For example, in the sentence \u00ba \u00da ('Ram ne Kitab di'; Ram gave the book), \u00da (di;give) is the event, however in the sentence \u00ba \u00da ('Ram ne Kitab kho di'; Ram lost the book.), \u00da ('kho di'; lost) is the event. Similarly, in the sentence \u00ba ('Ram se kitab gum ho gayee'; Ram lost the book), ('gum ho gayee'; lost) is the event. As compared to English, LVCs are more common in Hindi, have different characteristics and are used as a preferred method for introducing new predicates into the language (Vaidya et al., 2016) . A state-of-the-art approach (Chen et al., 2015) propose a supervised approach to identify LVCs in English using resources like PropBank, the OntoNotes sense groupings, Word-Net and the British National Corpus. However, it is difficult to extend this approach for Hindi as it would require extensive efforts to create labelled data based on such resources for Hindi.",

"text": "Since we are focusing on narratives of historical events, we assume the actors to be entities of type PERSON, LOCATION and ORGANIZA-TION. Further, we are interested in identifying all types of actor mentions -proper nouns, common nouns and pronouns. To extract proper noun mentions, we perform Named Entity Recognition of the text and mark all noun phrases of type PER-SON, LOCATION and ORGANIZATION as actors. Since Hindi is a relatively resource-poor language and it is very costly to generate necessary labeled data to train a supervised model, we propose an unsupervised technique to identify actors based on Wordnet. Given a noun which is the head of a noun phrase, we query its hypernym hierarchy to check if specific senses of (sthaan; place), (kshetra; region), -(bhu-bhaag; geographical area), (vyakti; person), (maanav; person) and \u00da (samudaay; group) are found. If so, we tag the type of the respective noun phrase corresponding to the hypernym found. As pronouns are a closed set of words, we use a manually prepared list of pronouns and corresponding types to identify all pronoun mentions of the actors. It is ensured that the list does not include any demonstrative pronouns (such as , , u , u ). Each pronoun in the text is checked against the list and marked as an actor, if found.",

"text": "As the actor mentions are to be visualized on a MSC, it is not sufficient to depict only head words of actor phrases. For example, \u00da (Sardar Patel is more informative as well as describes the complete entity than just the headword (Patel). Hence, we propose a simple dependency parse based approach to identify the complete noun phrase given the head word. We append to the head word all nouns which are dependent on it through the compound dependency. For example, the word (Mahatma) is dependent on the head word (Gandhi) through the compound dependency and hence, the complete phrase becomes (Mahatma Gandhi). We also append any adjectives/quantifiers which modify the head word using the amod dependency. For example, (pratham pradhanmantri; first prime minister) is formed as a complete phrase where (pratham; first) modifies (pradhanmantri; prime minister) using the amod dependency. A complex construct observed is a noun dependent on the head word with a nmod dependency with no verbs or prepositions occurring between the two. Such nouns are also considered part of the complete phrase and are handled through this approach. For example, in the phrase (swatantrata sangram senani; freedom fighter), the word (swatantrata; independence) is dependent on the head word (senani; soldier) through the nmod dependency with only a noun (sangram; struggle) appearing in between.",

In a similar way, true positives, false positives and false negatives are computed for P-CONJ and P-COMP parts.

This is because none of the hypernyms of \u00da carry a PERSON sense and hence, our WordNet based approach fails to identify \u00da as a valid actor. This example highlights the need of a more richer knowledge resource that can disambiguate words like \u00da as an actor from its quantifier sense. Another error case is regarding pronouns like i (isko; this/him/her) which can be used to refer to events or actors. Pronouns like these are present in our pronoun list because of their actor referring property, but at places in the text when it appears referring a non-actor it is still considered as an actor leading to a false positive.",

As per our knowledge this is the first attempt to visualize Hindi narratives and represent them formally. We extend a set of annotation guidelines for marking events and their arguments pivoted on verbs. We also propose linguistic knowledge based approach for actor and interaction identification. We report results on four state-of-the-art Hindi narrative datasets and present a brief analysis of the approaches. As future work, we would like to extend this work on lines of Semantic Role Labelling (SRL) for Hindi including nominal predicates and more arguments. We also aim to work on the temporal ordering aspect of Hindi narratives which would allow us to depict interactions in the true chronological order.",
