چکیده

The USAS semantic tagger is a powerful language technology tool that has proven to be very effective in various applications such as content analysis, discourse analysis and information extraction. In the Benedict project, we intend to use the semantic taggers for the English and Finnish languages as search tools in electronic dictionaries, thereby enabling users to carry out context-sensitive dictionary searches. The aim of this paper is to envisage ways in which a semantic tagger can help users find the ”right” answer from a dictionary (i.e. the answer that the user needs). We begin with a brief introduction of the semantic taggers for the English and Finnish languages. Thereafter, we focus on the presentation of the context-sensitive dictionary look-up, and show how the dictionary software will be able (i) to determine the correct sense in the context at hand, and (ii) to highlight that sense for the user. The new search tool will be commercially available in the Benedict software.

Query Architecture Expansion in Web Using Fuzzy Multi Domain Ontology

Due to the increasing web, there are many challenges to establish a general framework for data mining and retrieving structured data from the Web. Creating an ontology is a step towards solving this problem. The ontology raises the main entity and the concept of any data in data mining. In this paper, we tried to propose a method for applying the "meaning" of the search system, But the problem ...

Semi-supervised part-of-speech tagging in speech applications

When no training or adaptation data is available, semisupervised training is a good alternative for processing new domains. We perform Bayesian training of a part-of-speech (POS) tagger from unannotated text and a dictionary of possible tags for each word. We complement that method with supervised prediction of possible tags for out-of-vocabulary words and study the impact of both semi-supervis...

Semantic Tagging with Deep Residual Networks

We propose a novel semantic tagging task, sem-tagging, tailored for the purpose of multilingual semantic parsing, and present the first tagger using deep residual networks (ResNets). Our tagger uses both word and character representations, and includes a novel residual bypass architecture. We evaluate the tagset both intrinsically on the new task of semantic tagging, as well as on Part-of-Speec...

A time-sensitive historical thesaurus-based semantic tagger for deep semantic annotation

Automatic extraction and analysis of meaning-related information from natural language data has been an important issue in a number of research areas, such as natural language processing (NLP), text mining, corpus linguistics, and data science. An important aspect of such information extraction and analysis is the semantic annotation of language data using a semantic tagger. In practice, variou...

An Efficient Inductive Unsupervised Semantic Tagger

We report our development of a simple but fast and efficient inductive unsupervised semantic tagger for Chinese words. A POS hand-tagged corpus of 348,000 words is used. The corpus is being tagged in two steps. First, possible semantic tags are selected from a semantic dictionary(Tong Yi Ci Ci Lin), the POS and the conditional probability of semantic from POS, i.e., P(S|P). The final semantic t...
