Extending Synsets with Medical Terms
نویسندگان
چکیده
An important problematic issue with general semantic lexicons like WordNet or GermaNet is that they do not cover many terms and concepts specific to certain domains. Therefore, these resources need to be tuned to a specific domain at hand. This involves selecting those senses that are most appropriate for the domain, as well as extending the sense inventory with novel terms and novel senses that are specific to the domain. In this paper we focus on extending GermaNet synsets with domain specific terms, taking into account the domain relevance of senses (i.e. synsets).

Ranking and Selecting Synsets by Domain Relevance
The paper presents a novel method for domain specific sense assignment. The method determines the domain specific relevance of GermaNet synsets on the basis of the relevance of their constituent terms that cooccur within representative domain corpora. The approach is task independent and completely automatic. Experiments show results on three selected domains: business, soccer and medical.
متن کاملExtending effect annotation with lexical decomposition
In this contribution, we report on an effort to annotate German data with information relevant to opinion inference. Such information has previously been referred to as effect or couched in terms of eventevaluation functors. We extend the theory and present an extensive scheme that combines both approaches and thus extends the set of inference-relevant predicates. Using these guidelines to anno...

متن کاملMapping WordNet synsets to Wikipedia articles
Lexical knowledge bases (LKBs), such as WordNet, have been shown to be useful for a range of language processing tasks. Extending these resources is an expensive and time-consuming process. This paper describes an approach to address this problem by automatically generating a mapping from WordNet synsets to Wikipedia articles. A sample of synsets has been manually annotated with article matches...
متن کاملExtending WordNet with Hypernyms and Siblings Acquired from Wikipedia
This paper proposes a method for extending WordNet with terms in Wikipedia. Our method identifies a WordNet synset by integrating evidence derived from the structure of an article in Wikipedia and distributional similarity of terms. Unlike previous methods, utilizing the hypernym and siblings of the target term acquired from Wikipedia, the proposed method can deal with terms other than Wikipedi...
