Automated Discovery of Telic Relations for WordNet
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is presented for automatically extending WordNet with the telic relationships proposed in Pustejovsky’s lexicon model. The method extracts telic relationships from WordNet glosses by first selecting a telic word through a pattern matcher aided by a part-of-speech tagger and then employing a word disambiguation module to select the specific meaning (synset) of the telic word. The method is shown to be fruitful, inferring a number of useful relationships.

Studying the role of Qualia Relations for Word Sense Disambiguation
This paper studies the importance of qualia relations for Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD). We use a graph-based WSD algorithm over the Italian WordNet and evaluate it when adding different kinds of qualia relations (agentive, constitutive, formal and telic) taken from PAROLE-SIMPLE-CLIPS (PSC), a Language Resource based on the Generative Lexicon theory. Some qualia relations, specially telic, a...
متن کاملAutomatic Construction of Persian ICT WordNet using Princeton WordNet
WordNet is a large lexical database of English language, in which, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets). Each synset expresses a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by both semantic and lexical relations. WordNet is essentially used for word sense disambiguation, information retrieval, and text translation. In this paper, we propose s...

NEC Research Institute 4 IndependenceWay Princeton NJ [email protected] Abstract The analysis of examples of Logical Metonomy, where an event-taking verb is combined a non-eventive object, intuitively involves the recovery or insertion of a missing verb generally known as a Telic Role. For example, for Mary enjoyed the meal, an appropriate might be eat, i.e. Mary enjoyed eating the m...
متن کاملAutomated Discovery of WordNet Relations
The WordNet lexical database is now quite large and offers broad coverage of general lexical relations in English. As is evident in this volume, WordNet has been employed as a resource for many applications in natural language processing (NLP) and information retrieval (IR). However, many potentially useful lexical relations are currently missing from WordNet. Some of these relations, while use...
متن کاملAutomatic Discovery of Telic and Agentive Roles from Corpus Data
We present two methods for automatically discovering the telic and agentive roles of nouns from corpus data. These relations form part of the qualia structure assumed in generative lexicon theory, where the telic role represents a typical purpose of the entity and the agentive role represents the origin of the entity. The first discovery method uses hand-generated templates for each role type, ...
