ITRI-00-37 Semi-automatic construction of multilingual lexicons
نویسنده
چکیده
The construction of lexicons for NLP applications is a potentially very expensive task, but a crucially important one, especially in multilingual applications. The automation of the task from generic data sources or corpora is as yet largely impractical for most applied systems. In this paper we describe a methodology for the semi-automation of the task, used in the CLIME project to develop bilingual lexicons for generation in a restricted domain. We go on to discuss ways in which the same methodology has been used to develop lexicons for a range of applications.

The paper reports on a series of experiments conducted in order to test the feasibility of automatically generating synsets for Slovene wordnet. The resources used were the multilingual parallel corpus of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and wordnets for several languages. First, the corpus was word-aligned to obtain multilingual lexicons and then these lexicons were compared to the wordnet...
