While WordNet is often criticized for having a too fine-grained approach to word senses, the set of glosses do generally capture useful knowledge about the world and encode a substantial ...

This paper describes a case study on methods for automatically extracting qualia relations from dictionary glosses in Italian, namely the Senso Comune De Mauro Dictionary (SCDM). The qualia extraction has been addressed by means of a pattern-based approach and lexical match with an Italian generative lexicon based language resource, PAROLE-SIMPLECLIPS (PSC). The evaluation of the extraction app...
