Evaluation of a Method of Creating New Valency Entries

چکیده
Information on subcategorization and selectional restrictions is important for natural language processing tasks such as deep parsing, rule-based machine translation and automatic summarization. In this paper we present a method of adding detailed entries to a bilingual dictionary, based on information in an existing valency dictionary. The method is based on two assumptions: words with similar meaning have similar subcategorization frames and selectional restrictions; and words with the same translations have similar meanings. Based on these assumptions, new valency entries are constructed from words in a plain bilingual dictionary, using entries with similar source-language meaning and the same target-language translations. We evaluate the effects of various measures of similarity in increasing accuracy.

A Method Of Creating New Bilingual Valency Entries Using Alternations
We present a method that uses alternation data to add new entries to an existing bilingual valency lexicon. If the existing lexicon has only one half of the alternation, then our method constructs the other half. The new entries have detailed information about argument structure and selectional restrictions. In this paper we focus on one class of alternations, but our method is applicable to an...

Information on subcategorization and selectional restrictions in a valency dictionary is very important for natural language processing in tasks such as monolingual parsing, accurate rule-based machine translation and automatic summarization. However, adding this detailed information is both time consuming and costly. In this paper we present a method of assigning valency information and select...

متن کاملBuilding a Large Lexicon of Complex Valency Frames
This paper describes the process of building and using a new comprehensive lexicon of Czech verb valency frames based on complex valency frames. The main features of the lexicon entries are designed to bring important semantic information to computer processing of predicate constructions in running texts. The most notable features include two-level semantic labels with linkage to the Princeton ...
