A Systematic Approach for Automatically Generating Derivational Variants in Lexical Tools Based on theSPECIALIST Lexicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Introduction The demand for natural language processing (NLP) in medicine has grown significantly in recent years. This growth is expected to increase rapidly due to the continuing adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs). Medical language processing (MLP) seeks to analyze linguistic patterns found not only in electronic medical records, but also in published biomedical research, clinical trials reports, and other sources. Due to the great deal of lexical variation in natural language, managing this variability is an important key to successful MLP

Implementing Comprehensive Derivational Features in Lexical Tools Using a Systematical Approach
A systematic approach for automatically generating derivational variants based on the SPECIALIST Lexicon was proposed and implemented in Lexical Tools [1]. This approach addressed the prefix (PD), zero (ZD), and suffix (SD) derivations from nominalizations (nomD). This paper describes the generation of SD (not from nomD) based on the Lexicon in the Lexical Tools, including both SD-Facts and SD-...
متن کاملA Language-independent Approach to Extracting Derivational Relations from an Inflectional Lexicon
In this paper, we describe and evaluate an unsupervised method for acquiring pairs of lexical entries belonging to the same morphological family, i.e., derivationally related words, starting from a purely inflectional lexicon. Our approach relies on transformation rules that relate lexical entries with the one another, and which are automatically extracted from the inflected lexicon based on su...
متن کاملOn the Role of Derivational Processes in the Formation of Non-Taxonomic Classes of Lexical Units in Russian
The paper is focused on classes of lexical units which arise as a result of derivational processes – word formation and semantic transfers, acting either in isolation or together, on the basis of common semantic foundations that bind targets and sources of derivation. The lexical items which constitute the classes under study vary in their denotative characteristics and due to their categ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Lexicon-based Debates on the Felicity of Lexical Equivalents in Translating Literary Texts by Iranian EFL Learners
This study was an attempt to investigate the effect of lexicon-based debates on the felicity of lexical equivalents in translating literary texts by Iranian EFL learners. To fulfill the purpose of this study, 59 university students, majoring in English Translation, were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups from a total of 73 students based on their performance on a mock TOE...
متن کاملEnriching Morphological Lexica through Unsupervised Derivational Rule Acquisition
In a morphological lexicon, each entry combines a lemma with a specific inflection class, often defined by a set of inflection rules. Therefore, such lexica usually give a satisfying account of inflectional operations. Derivational information, however, is usually badly covered. In this paper we introduce a novel approach for enriching morphological lexica with derivational links between entrie...
