Automatic Construction of an English-Chinese Bilingual FrameNet
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a method of automatically constructing an English-Chinese bilingual FrameNet where the English FrameNet lexical entries are linked to the appropriate Chinese word senses. This resource can be used in machine translation and cross-lingual IR systems. We coerce the English FrameNet into Chinese using a bilingual lexicon, frame context in FrameNet and taxonomy structure in HowNet. Our approach does not require any manual mapping between FrameNet and HowNet semantic roles. Evaluation results show that we achieve a promising 82% average Fmeasure for the most ambiguous lexical entries.

BiFrameNet: Bilingual Frame Semantics Resource Construction by Cross-lingual Induction
We present a novel automatic approach to constructing a bilingual semantic network—the BiFrameNet, to enhance statistical and transfer-based machine translation systems. BiFrameNet is a frame semantic representation, and contains semantic structure transfers between English and Chinese. The English FrameNet and the Chinese HowNet provide us with two different views of the semantic distribution ...
متن کاملPopulating FrameNet with Chinese Verbs Mapping Bilingual Ontological WordNet with FrameNet
This paper describes the construction of a linguistic knowledge base using Frame Semantics, instantiated with Chinese Verbs imported from the Chinese-English Bilingual Ontological WordNet (BOW). The goal is to use this knowledge base to assist with semantic role labeling. This is accomplished through the mapping of FrameNet and WordNet and a novel verb selection restriction using both the WordN...
متن کاملCross-Lingual Bootstrapping of Semantic Lexicons: The Case of FrameNet
This paper considers the problem of unsupervised semantic lexicon acquisition. We introduce a fully automatic approach which exploits parallel corpora, relies on shallow text properties, and is relatively inexpensive. Given the English FrameNet lexicon, our method exploits word alignments to generate frame candidate lists for new languages, which are subsequently pruned automatically using a sm...
متن کاملChinese Core Ontology Construction from a Bilingual Term Bank
A core ontology is a mid-level ontology which bridges the gap between an upper ontology and a domain ontology. Automatic Chinese core ontology construction can help quickly model domain knowledge. A graph based core ontology construction algorithm (COCA) is proposed to automatically construct a core ontology from an English-Chinese bilingual term bank. This algorithm computes the mapping streng...
متن کاملTowards Semi Automatic Construction of a Lexical Ontology for Persian
Lexical ontologies and semantic lexicons are important resources in natural language processing. They are used in various tasks and applications, especially where semantic processing is evolved such as question answering, machine translation, text understanding, information retrieval and extraction, content management, text summarization, knowledge acquisition and semantic search engines. Altho...
