An Experiment on Automatic Semantic Tagging of Dictionary Senses
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a methodology to enrich a dictionary sense with semantic tags. The method relies on the use of a wide-coverage noun taxonomy and the notion of conceptual distance among concepts. Some experimental results about the performance of the method are provided.

Analysis Of A Hand-Tagging Task
We analyze the results of a semantic annotation task performed by novice taggers as part of the WordNet SemCor project (Landes et al., in press). Each polysemous content word in a text was matched to a sense from WordNet. Comparing the performance of the novice taggers with that of experienced lexicographers, we find that the degree of polysemy, part of speech, and the position within the WordN...
متن کاملLexical ambiguity and Information Retrieval revisited
A number of previous experiments on the role of lexical ambiguity, in Information Retrieval are reproduced on the'IR-Semcor test collection (derived from Semcor), where both queries and documents are hand-tagged ;with phrases, Part-Of-Speech and WordNet 1.5 senses. Our results indicate that a) Word Sense Disambiguation can be more beneficial to Information Retrieval than the experiments of Sand...
متن کاملOn The Use Of Automatic Tools For Large-Scale Semantic Analyses Of Causal Connectives
In this paper we describe the (annotation) tools underlying two automatic techniques to analyse the meaning and use of backward causal connectives in large Dutch newspaper corpora. With the help of these techniques, Latent Semantic Analysis and Thematic Text Analysis, the contexts of more than 14,000 connectives were studied. We will focus here on the methods of analysis and on the fairly strai...
متن کاملSemi-automatic Induction of Systematic Polysemy from WordNet
This paper describes a semi-automatic method of inducing underspecified semantic classes from WordNet verbs and nouns. An underspecified semantic class is an abstract semantic class which encodes systematic polysem~f, a set of word senses that are related in systematic and predictable ways. We show the usefulness of the induced classes in the semantic interpretations and contextual inferences o...
متن کاملLexical Disambiguation Using Constraint Handling In Prolog (CHIP)
Automatic sense disambiguation has been recognised by the research community as very important for a number of natural language processing applications like information retrieval, machine translation, or speech recognition. This paper describes experiments with an algorithm for lexieal sense disambiguation, that is, predicting which of many possible senses of a word is intended in a given sente...
