Démonette is a lexical database whose vertices (lexical entries) and edges (morphological relations between the vertices) are annotated with morpho-semantic information. It results from an original design incorporating two radically different approaches: Morphonette, a resource based on derivational analogies and DériF, an analyzer based on linguistic rules. However, Daemonette is not a simple ...

In this paper we describe LIHLA, a lexical aligner which uses bilingual probabilistic lexicons generated by a freely available set of tools (NATools) and languageindependent heuristics to find links between single words and multiword units in sentence-aligned parallel texts. The method has achieved an alignment error rate of 22.72% and 44.49% on English– Inuktitut and Romanian–English parallel ...

This paper shows how lexical choice during text generation depemls on linguistic context. We argue that muking c(Irrect lexieal choice in rite textual context requires distinguishing properties of concepts, which are ntme or less independent of file language, from language-specific representations of text where lexemes and their semantic and symantic relations are represented. In particular, l....

Ontologies in different natural languages often differ in quality in terms of richness of schema or richness of internal links. This difference is markedly visible when comparing a rich English language ontology with a non-English language counterpart. Discovering alignment between them is a useful endeavor as it serves as a starting point in bridging the disparity. In particular, our work is m...

We introduce a new method for unsupervised knowledge-based word sense disambiguation (WSD) based on a resource that links two types of sense-aware lexical networks: one is induced from a corpus using distributional semantics, the other is manually constructed. The combination of two networks reduces the sparsity of sense representations used for WSD. We evaluate these enriched representations w...

Language users are increasingly turning to electronic resources to address their lexical information needs, due to their convenience and their ability to simultaneously capture different facets of lexical knowledge in a single interface. In this paper, we discuss techniques to respond to a user’s lexical queries by providing multilingual and multimodal information, and facilitating navigating a...

1 Abstract In developing lexicons to support a scoring system for open-ended test questions and a content analysis system, we found it necessary to extend the conventional notion of a semantic network as consisting of concept nodes and (perhaps several kinds of) labeled links by adding nodes for pseudoentries capturing semantic features (as in typed feature structures) and by viewing links as n...

This paper describes text meaning representation for Chinese. Text meaning representation is composed of a set of ontological concept instances along with ontological links among them. It integrates lexical, textual and world knowledge into a single hierarchical framework. In NLP application it serves as an interlingual representation for various processing. The methodology and implementation o...

The theoretical and methodological concept of the investigation is based on following provisions: lexical items for denomination human emotions emotional states are anthropocentrically marked, they require consideration basic approaches to definition classification in psychology, corresponding linguistics; semantic item structure a certain period formed line with general processes laws linguist...

Story segmentation plays a critical role in spoken document processing. Spoken documents often come in a continuous audio stream without explicit boundaries related to stories or topics. It is important to be able to automatically segment these audio streams into coherent units. This work is an initial attempt to make use of informative lexical terms (or key terms) in recognition transcripts of...
