The Phrasal Lexicon in Multilingual Text Generation
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce the ML-Peba system, a system which generates textual descriptions of animals in both English and Spanish from an abstract knowledge base. The system relies upon a phrasal lexicon for linguistic realization. The paper discusses the pros and cons of this approach for multilingual generation, suggesting that its use enables a more language-independent knowledge representation than most generation approaches.

متن کاملThe Self-Extending Phrasal Lexicon
Lexical representation so far has not been extensively investigated in regard to language acquisition. Existing computational linguistic systems assume that text analysis and generation take place in conditions of complete lexical knowledge. That is, no unknown elements are encountered in processing text. It turns out however, that productive as well as non-productive word combinations require ...

Lexical pattern matching and text extraction is an essential component of many Natural Language Processing applications. Following the language hierarchy first conceived by Chomsky, it is commonly accepted that simple phrasal patterns should he categorised under the class of Regular Language (RL). There are 3 operations in RL Union, Concatenation and Kleene Closure which are applied to a finite...
متن کاملExtraction of linguistic resources from multilingual corpora and their exploitation
Increasing availability of on-line and off-line multilingual resources along with the developments in the related automatic tools that can process this information, such as GIZA++ (Och & Ney 2003), has made it possible to build new multilingual resources that can be used for NLP/IR tasks. Lexicon generation is one such task, which if done by hand is quite expensive with human and capital costs ...

This paper describes PEBA-II, a working natural language generation system which interactively describes animals in a taxonomic knowledge base via the production of World Wide Web pages. Our aim is to construct a natural language document generation system with real practical applicability: to this end, the system reconstructs and combines a number of existing ideas in the literature in a novel...
