The growing of multilingual information processing technology has created the need of linguistic resources, especially lexical database. Many attempts were put to alter the traditional dictionary to computational dictionary, or widely named as computational lexicon. TCL’s Computational Lexicon (TCLLEX) is a recent development of a large-scale Thai Lexicon, which aims to serve as a fundamental l...

In this paper, we describe a pronunciation lexicon model which is especially useful for constructing morpheme-based pronunciation lexicon to improve the performance of a Korean LVCSR. There are a lot of pronunciation variations occurring at morpheme boundaries in continuous speech. For modeling of cross-morpheme pronunciation variations, we usually used a context-dependent multiple pronunciatio...

The project presented here is a part of a long term research program aiming at a full lexicon grammar for Polish (SyntLex). The main concern of this project is computer-assisted acquisition and morpho-syntactic description of verb-noun collocations in Polish. We present methodology and resources obtained in three main project phases which are: dictionary-based acquisition of collocation lexicon...

Nowadays exists a growing interest in the automatic extraction of subjective expressions (opinions, emotions and feelings) in texts. To identify the semantic orientation of a text, it is assumed that the occurrence of expressions that belong to some emotional category can be regarded as evidence that there is an affective state. Based on this assumption, we create an affective lexicon, consisti...

This study demonstrates how knowledge of language transfer can enable a computer-assisted pronunciation teaching (CAPT) system to effectively detect and diagnose salient mispronunciations in second language learners’ speech. Our approach uses a HMM-based speech recognizer with an extended pronunciation lexicon that includes both a model pronunciation for each word and common pronunciation varia...

Studies on lexicon acquisition systems are gaining attention in the search for a natural human–robot interface and a test environment to model the infant lexicon acquisition process. Although various lexicon acquisition systems that ground words to sensory experience have been developed, existing systems have clear limitations on the ability to autonomously associate words to objects. This limi...

Abstract Photius’ lexicon contains an entry on the rare adjective ἀναλφάβητος (‘illiterate, ignorant’) that cites Phrynichus Atticista. Based this testimony, whole passage has been edited as fr. 19 of Phrynichus’ Praeparatio sophistica . This article demonstrates in lemma Photius conflates material which comes from and one other source, hypothetically identified with anonymous Antiatticist lexi...

This paper presents our approach towards the SemEval-2016 Task 10 – Detecting Minimal Semantic Units and their Meanings. Systems are expected to provide a representation of lexical semantics by (1) segmenting tokens into words and multiword units and (2) providing a supersense tag for segments that function as nouns or verbs. Our pipeline rule-based system uses no external resources and was imp...

Word learning involves mapping observable words to unobservable speaker intentions. The ability to infer referential intentions in turn has been shown to depend in part on access to language. Thus, word learning and intention-reading codevelop. To explore this interaction, we present an agent-based model in which an individual simultaneously learns a lexicon and learns about the speaker’s persp...

This paper discusses the multiple approaches to collaboration that the Kamusi Project is employing in the creation of a massively multilingual lexical resource. The project’s data structure enables the inclusion of large amounts of rich data within each sense-specific entry, with transitive concept-based links across languages. Data collection involves mining existing data sets, language expert...
