Adding Semantic Relations to a Large-Coverage Connective Lexicon of German
نویسندگان
چکیده
DiMLex is a lexicon of German connectives that can be used for various language understanding purposes. We enhanced the coverage to 275 connectives, which we regard as covering all known German discourse connectives in current use. In this paper, we consider the task of adding the semantic relations that can be expressed by each connective. After discussing different approaches to retrieving semantic information, we settle on annotating each connective with senses from the new PDTB 3.0 sense hierarchy. We describe our new implementation in the extended DiMLex, which will be available for research purposes.

Studying the role of Qualia Relations for Word Sense Disambiguation
This paper studies the importance of qualia relations for Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD). We use a graph-based WSD algorithm over the Italian WordNet and evaluate it when adding different kinds of qualia relations (agentive, constitutive, formal and telic) taken from PAROLE-SIMPLE-CLIPS (PSC), a Language Resource based on the Generative Lexicon theory. Some qualia relations, specially telic, a...
متن کاملConnective-based Local Coherence Analysis: A Lexicon for Recognizing Causal Relationships
Local coherence analysis is the task of deriving the (most likely) coherence relation holding between two elementary discourse units or, recursively, larger spans of text. The primary source of information for this step is the connectives provided by a language for, more or less explicitly, signaling the relations. Focusing here on causal coherence relations, we propose a lexical resource that ...
متن کاملKnowledge-based Supervision for Domain-adaptive Semantic Role Labeling
Semantic role labeling (SRL) is a method for the semantic analysis of texts that adds a level of semantic abstraction on top of syntactic analysis, for instance adding semantic role labels like Agent on top of syntactic functions like Subject . SRL has been shown to benefit various natural language processing applications such as question answering, information extraction, and summarization. Au...
متن کاملComputer Aided Interpretation of Lexical Coocurrences
This paper addresses the problem of developing a large semantic lexicon for natural language processing. The increas~g availability of machine readable documents offers an opportunity to the field of lexieal semantics, by providing experimental evidence of word uses (on-line texts) and word definitions (on-line dictionaries). The system presented hereafter, PETRARCA, detects word e.occurrences ...
متن کاملA Bilateral Pediculated Palatal Periosteal Connective Tissue Flap for Coverage of Large Bone Grafts in the Anterior Maxillary Region
Introduction: Coverage of bone grafts is very important in reconstructive surgery. In edentulous alveolar ridges this coverage is particularly important for supporting dental prostheses. Here we present the case of a patient with a large deficient maxillary anterior region that was reconstructed with a bilateral palatal submucosal periosteal connective tissue flap: a soft tissue reserve for up...
