One of the dependencies that, when found in the summary but not in the article, indicates a possible error is the "amod" (adjectival modifier) dependency. | |
Applied to this summary, we have "First" as the entity, and it is the adjectival modifier of the word "phone". | |
And indeed, this unmatched dependency indicates an actual error here. The sentence is not factual, since the article talks about a **new** type of flagship phone, | |
and not the **first** flagship phone. This error was found by filtering on this specific kind of dependency. Empirical results showed that unmatched *amod* dependencies often suggest | |
that the summary sentence contains an error. <br> <br> | |
Another dependency that we use is the "pobj" (object of preposition) dependency. | |
Furthermore, we only match *pobj* dependencies when the target word is "in", as in this example. | |
In this case the sentence itself contains a factual error (because the article states "there's no word on a US release date yet"). | |
However, this could have been found by entity matching already (as january 18 is unmatched), and the unmatched dependency can not be completely blamed for this error here. |
