Building lexical semantic representations for Natural Language instructions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on our work to automatically build a corpus of instructional text annotated with lexical semantics information. We have coupled the parser LCFLEX with a lexicon and ontology derived from two lexical resources, VerbNet for verbs and CoreLex for nouns. We discuss how we built our lexicon and ontology, and the parsing results we obtained.

Lexical Ontology Model Based on SBVR Representations
The paper presents a model of lexical ontology, based on SBVR representations, which is related to domain ontology used for semantic search in Lithuanian Internet corpus. The advantage of using SBVR based lexical ontology is the support of various relations among different types of meanings and representations, considering phrases instead of single words, and possibility of transformations to (...
متن کاملProcessing of 3-D Spatial Relations for Virtual Agents Acting on Natural Language Instructions
We are developing a system in which a user can control virtual agents through natural language dialogue. We particularly focus on the semantic analysis of spatial expressions in natural language instructions. Spatial expressions are relative to the speaker’s viewpoint and the indicated positions can change dynamically. In this paper we propose a semantic representation using lambda structures. ...
متن کاملSemantic Inference at the Lexical-Syntactic Level
Semantic inference is an important component in many natural language understanding applications. Classical approaches to semantic inference rely on complex logical representations. However, practical applications usually adopt shallower lexical or lexical-syntactic representations, but lack a principled inference framework. We propose a generic semantic inference framework that operates direct...
متن کاملFine-Grained Lexical Semantic Representations And Compositionally-Derived Events In Mandarin Chinese
Current lexical semantic representations for natural language applications view verbs as simple predicates over their arguments. These structures are too coarse-grained to capture many important generalizations about verbal argument structure. In this paper, I specifically defend the following two claims: verbs have rich internal structure expressible in terms of finer-grained primitives of mea...
متن کاملWord Type Effects on L2 Word Retrieval and Learning: Homonym versus Synonym Vocabulary Instruction
The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to assess the retention of two word types (synonyms and homonyms) in the short term memory, and (b) to investigate the effect of these word types on word learning by asking learners to learn their Persian meanings. A total of 73 Iranian language learners studying English translation participated in the study. For the first purpose, 36 freshmen from an ...
