    Procedurally Rhetorical Verb-Centric Frame Semantics as a Knowledge Representation for Argumentation Analysis of Biochemistry Articles by Mohammed Alliheedi A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2019 c Mohammed Alliheedi 2019 Examining Committee Membership External Examiner: Vlado Keselj Professor, Faculty of Computer Science Dalhousie University Supervisor(s): Robert E. Mercer Professor, Dept. of Computer Science, The University of Western Ontario Robin Cohen Professor, School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo Internal Member: Jesse Hoey Associate Professor, School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo Internal-External Member: Randy Harris Professor, Dept. of of English Language and Literature, University of Waterloo Other Member(s): Charles Clarke Professor, School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo ii I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract The central focus of this thesis is rhetorical moves in biochemistry articles. Kanoksila- patham has provided a descriptive theory of rhetorical moves that extends Swales' CARS model to the complete biochemistry article. The thesis begins the construction of a com- putational model of this descriptive theory. Attention is placed on the Methods section of the articles. We hypothesize that because authors' argumentation closely follows their experimental procedure, procedural verbs may be the guide to understanding the rhetor- ical moves. Our work proposes an extension to the normal (i.e., VerbNet) semantic roles especially tuned to this domain.

    About the Contributors Violaine Prince is full professor at the University Montpellier 2 (Montpellier, France). She obtained her PhD in 1986 at the University of Paris VII, and her ‘habilitation’ (post-PhD degree) at the Univer- sity of Paris XI (Orsay). Previous head of Computer Science department at the Faculty of Sciences in Montpellier, previous head of the National University Council for Computer Science (grouping 3,000 professors and assistant professors in Computer Science in France), she now leads the NLP research team at LIRMM (Laboratoire d’Informatique, de Robotique et de Microélectronique de Montpellier, a CNRS research unit). Her research interests are in natural language processing (NLP) and cognitive science. She has published more than 70 reviewed papers in books, journals and conferences, authored 10 research and education books, founded and chaired several conferences and belonged to program committees as well as journals reading committees. She is member of the board of the IEEE Computer Society French Chapter. Mathieu Roche is assistant professor at the University Montpellier 2, France. He received a PhD in computer science at the University Paris XI (Orsay) in 2004. With Jérôme Azé, he created in 2005 the DEFT challenge (‘DEfi Francophone de Fouille de Textes’ meaning ‘Text Mining Challenge’) which is a francophone equivalent of the TREC Conferences. His current main research interests at LIRMM (Laboratoire d’Informatique, de Robotique et de Microélectronique de Montpellier, a CNRS research unit) are text mining, information retrieval, terminology, and natural language processing for schema mapping. * * * Sophia Ananiadou is director of The National Centre for Text Mining (NaCTeM)providing text mining services with particular focus on biomedicine.
