DRAMATICS TRANSLATION: LEXICO-SEMANTIC ASPECT

Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis Using Lexico-Semantic Patterns

With its ever growing amount of user-generated content, the Web has become a trove of consumer information. The free text format in which most of this content is written, however, prevents straightforward analysis. Instead, natural language processing techniques are required to quantify the textual information embedded within text. This research focuses on extracting the sentiment that can be f...

Semantic Annotation and Lexico-Syntactic Paraphrase

The IAMTC project (Interlingual Annotation of Multilingual Translation Corpora) is developing an interlingual representation framework for annotation of parallel corpora (English paired with Arabic, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish) with deep-semantic representations. In particular, we are investigating meaning equivalent paraphrases involving conversives and non-literal language us...

A Multilingual Lexico-Semantic Database and Ontology

We discuss the development of a multilingual lexicon linked to a formal ontology. First we describe the Open Multilingual Wordnet, a multilingual wordnet with twenty two languages and a rich structure of semantic relations. It is made by exploiting links from various monolingual wordnets to the English Wordnet. Currently, it contains 118,337 concepts expressed in 1,643,260 senses in 22 language...

Extraction of Lexico-Semantic Classes from Text

This paper describes an unsupervised method for extracting lexico-semantic classes from POS annotated corpora. The method consists in building bi-dimensional clusters of both words and local syntactic contexts. Each cluster, which represents a lexicosemantic class such as “entities in danger” is the result of merging its most prototypical constituents (words and contexts). The generated cluster...
