Lexical Entry Templates for Robust Deep Parsing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the development and employment of lexical entry templates in a large–coverage unification–based grammar of Spanish. The aim of the work reported in this paper is to provide robust deep linguistic processing in order to make the grammar more adequate for industrial NLP applications.

EBL2: An Approach To Automatic Lexical Acquisition
A method for automatic lexical acquisition is out lined. An existing lexicon that, in addition Io ordinary ]exical entries, contains prototypical cntrips for various non-exclusive paradigms of open-cl~,.ss words, is extended by inferring new lexical entries from texts containing unknown words. This is done by comparing the constraints placed on the unknown words hy the natural language system's...
متن کاملDeep Sentence Understanding in a Restricted Domain
We present here the current prototype of the text understanding system HELENE. The objective of this system is to achieve a deep understanding of small reports dealing with a restricted domain. Sentence understanding builds a model of the state of the world described, through the application of several knowledge modules: (i) LFG parsing, (ii) syntactic disambiguation based on lexical entry sema...
متن کاملA Bootstrap Approach to Automatically Generating Lexical Transfer Rules
We describe a method for automatically generating Lexical Transfer Rules (LTRs) from word equivalences using transfer rule templates. Templates are skeletal LTRs, unspecified for words. New LTRs are created by instantiating a template with words, provided that the words belong to the appropriate lexical categories required by the template. We define two methods for creating an inventory of temp...
متن کاملA Statistical Approach towards Unknown Word Type Prediction for Deep Grammars
This paper presents a statistical approach to unknown word type prediction for a deep HPSG grammar. Our motivation is to enhance robustness in deep processing. With a predictor which predicts lexical types for unknown words according to the context, new lexical entries can be generated on the fly. The predictor is a maximum entropy based classifier trained on a HPSG treebank. By exploring vario...
متن کاملAutomated Deep Lexical Acquisition for Robust Open Texts Processing
In this paper, we report on methods to detect and repair lexical errors for deep grammars. The lack of coverage has for long been the major problem for deep processing. The existence of various errors in the hand-crafted large grammars prevents their usage in real applications. The manual detection and repair of errors requires a significant amount of human effort. An experiment with the Britis...
