چکیده

We develop a model for predicting verb sense from subcategorization information and integrate it into SSI-Dijkstra, a wide-coverage knowledge-based WSD algorithm. Adding syntactic knowledge in this way should correct the current poor performance of WSD systems on verbs. This paper also presents, for the first time, an evaluation of SSI-Dijkstra on a standard data set which enables a comparison of this algorithm with other knowledge-based WSD systems. Our results show that our system is competitive with current graph-basedWSD algorithms, and that the subcategorization model can be used to achieve better verb sense disambiguation performance.

Verb Sense and Subcategorization: Using Joint Inference to Improve Performance on Complementary Task

We propose a general model for joint inference in correlated natural language processing tasks when fully annotated training data is not available, and apply this model to the dual tasks of word sense disambiguation and verb subcategorization frame determination. The model uses the EM algorithm to simultaneously complete partially annotated training sets and learn a generative probabilistic mod...

Acquisition et évaluation sur corpus de propriétés de sous-catégorisation syntaxique

We carry out an experiment aimed at using subcategorization information into a syntactic parser for PP attachment disambiguation. The subcategorization lexicon consists of probabilities between a word (verb, noun, adjective) and a preposition. The lexicon is acquired automatically from a 200 million word corpus, that is partially tagged and parsed. In order to assess the lexicon, we use four di...

Application of finite-state transducers to the acquisition of verb subcategorization information

This paper presents the design and implementation of a finite-state syntactic grammar of Basque that has been used with the objective of extracting information about verb subcategorization instances from newspaper texts. After a partial parser has built basic syntactic units such as noun phrases, prepositional phrases, and sentential complements, a finite-state parser performs syntactic disambi...
