چکیده

In this paper, we present an on-going project aiming at extending the WordNet lexical database by encoding common sense featural knowledge elicited from language speakers. Such extension of WordNet is required in the framework of the STaRS.sys project, which has the goal of building tools for supporting the speech therapist during the preparation of exercises to be submitted to aphasic patients for rehabilitation purposes. We review some preliminary results and illustrate what extensions of the existing WordNet model are needed to accommodate for the encoding of commonsense (featural) knowledge.

We evaluate our methodology intrinsically on two lexical resources (WordNet and Babe...

Lexical Selection for Cross-Language Applications: Combining LCS with WordNet

This paper describes experiments for testing the power of large-scale resources for lexical selection in machine translation (MT) and cross-language information retrieval (CLIR). We adopt the view that verbs with similar argument structure share certain meaning components , but that those meaning components are more relevant to argument realization than to idiosyncratic verb meaning. We verify ...
