Lexical acquisition and clustering of word senses to conceptual lexicon construction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a mechanism and an algorithm to support construction of a large complex conceptual lexicon from an existing alphabetical lexicon. As part of this research, we define lexical models to present words and lexicons. Given the fact that an alphabetical lexicon contains lexical information about words which are organized by their spelling, constructing a conceptual lexicon requires an identification of lexical concepts and their relationships. Lexical acquisition and word‐sense clustering are introduced to identify the lexical concepts and to discover the conceptual relationships. The result of this research is a set of candidate concepts which can be treated as initial concepts for the conceptual lexicon construction.

Large - Scale Dictionary
This paper describes techniques for automatic construction of dictionaries for use in large-scale foreign language tutoring (FLT) and interlingual machine translation (MT) systems. The dictionaries are based on a language-independent representation called lexical conceptual structure (LCS). A primary goal of the LCS research is to demonstrate that synonymous verb senses share distributional pat...
متن کاملOn multiword lexical units and their role in maritime dictionaries
Multi-word lexical units are a typical feature of specialized dictionaries, in particular monolingual and bilingual maritime dictionaries. The paper studies the concept of the multi-word lexical unit and considers the similarities and differences of their selection and presentation in monolingual and bilingual maritime dictionaries. The work analyses such issues as the classification of multi-w...
متن کاملAcquisition Of Computational-Semantic Lexicons From Machine Readable Lexical Resources
This paper describes a heuristic algorithm capable of automatically assigning a label to each of the senses in a machine readable dictionary (MRD) for the purpose of acquiring a computational-semantic lexicon for treatment of lexical ambiguity. Including these labels in the MRD-based lexical database offers several positive effects. The labels can be used as a coarser sense division so unnecess...
متن کاملTopical Clustering of MRD Senses Based on Information Retrieval Techniques
This paper describes a heuristic approach capable of automatically clustering senses in a machinereadable dictionary (MRD). Including these clusters in the MRD-based lexical database offers several positive benefits for word sense disambiguation (WSD). First, the clusters can be used as a coarser sense division, so unnecessarily fine sense distinction can be avoided. The clustered entries in th...
متن کاملE-HowNet and Automatic Construction of a Lexical Ontology
In this paper, we propose a lexical senses representation system called E-HowNet, in which the lexical senses are defined by basic concepts. As a result, the meanings of expressions are more specific than those derived by using primitives. We also design an ontology to express the taxonomic relations between concepts and the attributes of concepts. To establish the taxonomic relations between w...
