Automatic verb classification using multilingual resources

چکیده
We propose the use of multilingual corpora in the automatic classi cation of verbs. We extend the work of (Merlo and Stevenson, 2001), in which statistics over simple syntactic features extracted from textual corpora were used to train an automatic classi er for three lexical semantic classes of English verbs. We hypothesize that some lexical semantic features that are di cult to detect super cially in English may manifest themselves as easily extractable surface syntactic features in another language. Our experimental results combining English and Chinese features show that a small bilingual corpus may provide a useful alternative to using a large monolingual corpus for verb classi cation.

We demonstrate the beneets of a multilingual approach to automatic lexical semantic verb classiication based on statistical analysis of corpora in multiple languages. Our research incorporates two interrelated threads. In one, we exploit the similarities in the crosslinguis-tic classiication of verbs, to extend work on English verb classiication to a new language (Italian), and to new classes w...
