Social media posts often contain questions, but many of the questions are rhetorical and do not seek information.

Learning Prototypical Functions for Physical Artifacts

1 code implementation ACL 2021 Tianyu Jiang, Ellen Riloff

We use frames from FrameNet to represent a set of common functions for objects, and describe a manually annotated data set of physical objects labeled with their prototypical function.
