Applying cross-lingual WSD to wordnet development
نویسندگان
چکیده
The automatic development of semantic resources constitutes an important challenge in the NLP community. The methods used generally exploit existing large-scale resources, such as Princeton WordNet, often combined with information extracted from multilingual resources and parallel corpora. In this paper, we show how Cross-Lingual Word Sense Disambiguation can be applied to wordnet development. We apply the proposed method to WOLF, a free wordnet for French still under construction, in order to fill synsets that did not contain any literal yet and increase its coverage.

SemEval-2007 Task 01: Evaluating WSD on Cross-Language Information Retrieval
This paper presents a first attempt of an application-driven evaluation exercise of WSD. We used a CLIR testbed from the Cross Lingual Evaluation Forum. The expansion, indexing and retrieval strategies where fixed by the organizers. The participants had to return both the topics and documents tagged with WordNet 1.6 word senses. The organization provided training data in the form of a pre-proce...
متن کاملAutomatic Wordnet Development for Low-Resource Languages using Cross-Lingual WSD
Wordnet is an effective resource in natural language processing and information retrieval, especially for semantic processing and meaning related tasks. So far wordnet has been constructed in many languages. However, automatic development of wordnet for lowresource languages has not been studied well. In this paper an Expectation-Maximization algorithm is used to train high quality and large sc...

In this paper, a new method for English-Chinese cross-lingual information retrieval is proposed and evaluated in NTCIR-II project. We use the bilingual resources and contextual information to deal with the word sense disambiguation (WSD) and translation disambiguation for query translation. An EnglishChinese WordNet and a synset co-occurrence model are adopted to solve the problem of word sense...
متن کاملFive Languages Are Better Than One: An Attempt to Bypass the Data Acquisition Bottleneck for WSD
This paper presents a multilingual classification-based approach to Word Sense Disambiguation that directly incorporates translational evidence from four other languages. The need of a large predefined monolingual sense inventory (such as WordNet) is avoided by taking a language-independent approach where the word senses are derived automatically from word alignments on a parallel corpus. As a ...
متن کاملUnsupervised Cross-Lingual Lexical Substitution
Cross-Lingual Lexical Substitution (CLLS) is the task that aims at providing for a target word in context, several alternative substitute words in another language. The proposed sets of translations may come from external resources or be extracted from textual data. In this paper, we apply for the first time an unsupervised cross-lingual WSD method to this task. The method exploits the results ...
