Making Senses: Bootstrapping Sense-Tagged Lists of Semantically-Related Words
نویسنده
چکیده
The work described in this paper was originally motivated by the need to map verbs associated with FrameNet 1.2 frames to appropriate WordNet 2.0 senses. As the work evolved, it became apparent that the developed method was applicable for a number of other tasks, including assignment of WordNet senses to word lists used in attitude and opinion analysis, and collapsing WordNet senses into coarser-grained groupings. We describe the method for mapping FrameNet lexical units to WordNet senses and demonstrate its applicability to these additional tasks. We conclude with a general discussion of the viability of using this method with automatically sense-tagged data.

Automatic Retrieval and Clustering of Similar
Bootstrapping semantics from text is one of the greatest challenges in natural language learning. Earlier research showed that it is possible to automatically identify words that are semantically similar to a given word based on the syntactic collocation patterns of the words. We present an approach that goes a step further by obtaining a tree structure among the most similar words so that diie...
متن کاملInterpreting Noun Compounds using Bootstrapping and Sense Collocation
This paper describes a bootstrapping method for automatically tagging noun compounds with their corresponding semantic relations. Our work takes advantage of the collocation of senses of the noun compound constituents and also word similarity. We exploit this to generate a set of noun compounds from a set of previously tagged noun compounds by replacing one constituent of each noun compound wit...
متن کاملAn Automatic Method for Generating Sense Tagged Corpora
The unavailability of very large corpora with semantically disambiguated words is a major limitation in text processing research. For example, statistical methods for word sense disambiguation of free text are known to achieve high accuracy results when large corpora are available to develop context rules, to train and test them. This paper presents a novel approach to automatically generate ar...
متن کاملWord Sense Disambiguation For Acquisition Of Selectional Preferences
The selectional preferences of verbal predicates are an important component of lexical information useful for a number of NLP tasks including disambigliation of word senses. Approaches to selectional preference acquisition without word sense disambiguation are reported to be prone to errors arising from erroneous word senses. Large scale automatic semantic tagging of texts in sufficient quantit...
متن کاملIdentifying Word Senses in Greek Text: A comparison of machine learning methods
In this paper we perform a comparative evaluation of machine learning methods on the task of identifying the correct sense of a word, based on the context in which it appears. This task is known as word sense disambiguation (WSD) and is one of the hardest and most interesting issues in language engineering. Research on the use of machine learning techniques for WSD has so far focused almost exc...
