Disambiguating Verbs with the WordNet Category of the Direct Object
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, I demonstrate that verbs can be disambiguated according to aspect by rules that exam° hue the WordNet category of the direct object. First, when evaluated over a corpus of medical reports, I show that WordNet categories correlate with aspectual class. Then, I develop a rule for distinguishing between stative and event occurrences of have by the WordNet category of the direct object. This rule, which is motivated by both linguistic and statistical analysis, is evaluated over an unrestricted set of nouns. I also show that WordNet categories improve a system that performs aspectual classification with linguistically-based numerical indicators.

The Role of Semantic Roles in Disambiguating Verb Senses
We describe an automatic Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) system that disambiguates verb senses using syntactic and semantic features that encode information about predicate arguments and semantic classes. Our system performs at the best published accuracy on the English verbs of Senseval-2. We also experiment with using the gold-standard predicateargument labels from PropBank for disambiguating...
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...
متن کاملDisambiguating Noun and Verb Senses Using Automatically Acquired Selectional Preferences
Our system for the SENSEVAL-2 all words task uses automatically acquired selectional preferences to sense tag subject and object head nouns, along with the associated verbal predicates. The selectional preferences comprise probability distributions over WordN et nouns, and these distributions are conditioned on WordNet verb classes. The conditional distributions are used directly to disambiguat...
متن کاملUse of Syntactic and Semantic Filters for Lexical Acquisition: Using WordNet to Increase Precision
This paper describes an approach to automatic extraction of verb meanings from machine-readable resources for the construction of large-scale knowledge sources. We describe semantic lters designed to reduce the number of incorrect assignments made by a purely syntactic technique. We report on our results of disambiguating the verbs in the semantic lters by adding WordNet sense annotations. 1 We...
متن کاملProcedures and Problems in Korean-Chinese-Japanese Wordnet with Shared Semantic Hierarchy
This paper introduces a Korean-Chinese-Japanese wordnet for nouns, verbs and adjectives. This wordnet is constructed based on a hierarchy of shared semantic categories originated from NTT Goidaikei (Hierarchical Lexical System). The Korean wordnet has been constructed by mapping a semantic category to each Korean word sense in a way that maps the same semantic hierarchy to the meanings of nouns...
