A System for Large-Scale Acquisition of Verbal, Nominal and Adjectival Subcategorization Frames from Corpora
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the first system for large-scale acquisition of subcategorization frames (SCFs) from English corpus data which can be used to acquire comprehensive lexicons for verbs, nouns and adjectives. The system incorporates an extensive rulebased classifier which identifies 168 verbal, 37 adjectival and 31 nominal frames from grammatical relations (GRs) output by a robust parser. The system achieves state-ofthe-art performance on all three sets.

Automatic Acquisition of Adjectival Subcategorization from Corpora
This paper describes a novel system for acquiring adjectival subcategorization frames (SCFs) and associated frequency information from English corpus data. The system incorporates a decision-tree classifier for 30 SCF types which tests for the presence of grammatical relations (GRs) in the output of a robust statistical parser. It uses a powerful patternmatching language to classify GRs into fr...
متن کاملLexical acquisition from corpora: the case of subcategorization frames in French
We present in this paper a method to automatically acquire a syntactic lexicon of subcategorization frames for French verbs directly from large corpora. The method is evaluated against existing lexical resources: we show that our system is capable of producing new frames that were not previously registered. Lastly, we show that it is possible to induce lexico-semantic classes « à la Levin » (19...
متن کاملA Subcategorization Frames Acquisition System for French Verbs
This paper presents a system intended to automatically acquire subcategorization frames (SCFs) of verbs from the analysis of large corpora. The system has been applied to a newspaper corpus (made of 10 years of the French newspaper Le Monde) and acquired subcategorization information for 3267 verbs. 286 SCFs were dynamically learnt for these verbs. From the analysis of 25 representative verbs, ...

متن کاملUsing Semantically Motivated Estimates to Help Subcategorization Acquisition
Research into the automatic acquisition of subcategorization frames from corpora is starting to produce large-scale computational lexicons which include valuable frequency information. However, the accuracy of the resulting lexicons shows room for improvement. One source of error lies in the lack of accurate back-off estimates for subcategorization frames, delimiting the performance of statisti...
