A Comparative Evaluation of unl Participant Relations using a Five-Language Parallel Corpus

چکیده
In this paper we describe a manual case study in interlingual translation among ve languages. Taking theun Declaration of Human Rights in Chinese, English, German, Irish and Spanish, we annotated the ve texts with a common interlingual logical form. We then studied four inventories of semantic roles (developed for both theoretical andnlp applications), including a subset of unl's relations, and evaluated their suitability to describe the predicate-argument relationships found in the annotation. As a result, we make some suggestions for possible additions to the unl relations, and propose that some of the existing relations be con ated or rede ned.

UNL Enconversion framework for Machine Translation
This paper presents the building of a language independent Enconversion framework of UNL. Universal Networking Language is a relatively new interlingua of machine translation which is an important application of NLP .The purpose of framework is to localize the software applications and platforms and thus trying to bridge the great digital divide that has created due the linguistic barriers.It i...
متن کاملEnglish to UNL ( Interlingua ) Enconversion
We describe a system for converting English sentences into expressions of an interlingua called Universal Networking Language (UNL). UNL represents knowledge in form of semantic network, where nodes represent concepts and links represent semantic roles between concepts. UNL nodes also contain semantic attributes like number, tense, aspect, mood, negation etc. Our system uses a lexicalized proba...
متن کاملSemantic Textual Entailment Recognition using UNL
A two-way textual entailment (TE) recognition system that uses semantic features has been described in this paper. We have used the Universal Networking Language (UNL) to identify the semantic features. UNL has all the components of a natural language. The development of a UNL based textual entailment system that compares the UNL relations in both the text and the hypothesis has been reported. ...
متن کاملSemantic Graph from English Sentences
In this paper we describe our progress towards building an Interlingua based machine translation system, by capturing the semantics of the source language sentences in the form of Universal Networking Language (UNL) graphs from which the target language sentences can be produced. There are two stages to the UNL graph generation: first, the conceptual arguments of a situation are identified in t...
متن کاملA Formalized Reference Grammar for UNL-Based Machine Translation between English and Arabic
The Universal Networking Language (UNL) is an artificial language that can replicate human language functions in cyberspace in terms of hyper semantic networks. This paper aims to: a) design a reference grammar capable of dealing with the basic linguistic structures in order to act as a test-bed in automating translation between English and Arabic in both directions through UNL; b) evaluate the...
