Linking WordNet Verb Classes to Semantic Interpretation
نویسنده
چکیده
An analysis that defines predicates for Wordnet verb classes and links them to semantic interpretation is presented. The selectional restrictions for the thematic roles defining the predicates are WordNet ontological categories. Thematic roles are also linked to the syntactic relations that realize them. The paper illustrates the methodology by providing a detailed analysis of some major WordNet verb classes.

Automatic Semantic Annotation of Texts
This paper explains the automatic semantic interpretation of sentences. These sentences were selected for testing the verb predicates that we have been defining for WordNet 1.6 verb classes, and the algorithm that uses them. Semantic interpretation is performed for determining the meaning of the verb, or, verb predicate, its semantic roles, adjuncts, the attachment of postverbal prepositional p...
متن کاملClass-Based Construction of a Verb Lexicon
We present an approach to building a verb lexicon compatible with WordNet but with explicitly stated syntactic and semantic information, using Levin verb classes to systematically construct lexical entries. By using verb classes we capture generalizations about verb behavior and reduce the effort needed to construct the lexicon. The syntactic frames for the verb classes are represented by a Lex...
متن کاملGrounding the Ontology on the Semantic Interpretation Algorithm
Some reorganizations and modifications to the WordNet ontology are explained. These changes have been suggested by extensive testing of the ontological categories with an algorithm for semantic interpretation The algorithm is based on predicates that have been defined for WordNet verb classes. The selectional restrictions of the predicates are WordNet ontological categories.
متن کاملA System for the Semantic Interpretation of Unrestricted Domains using WordNet
In this demonstration, we show an algorithm for the semantic interpretation of unrestricted texts. The algorithm presents a solution for the following interpretation problems: determination of the meaning of the verb, identification of thematic roles and adjuncts, and attachments of prepositional phrases (PPs). An interesting aspect of the algorithm is that the solution of all these problems is...
متن کاملSemantic Interpretation and the Upper-Level Ontology of WordNet
This paper deals with the ontology for natural language understanding. In particular, the paper focuses on the WordNet noun ontology, proposes some additions, changes and reorganizations, and explains the rationale supporting them. These changes have been pointed out by a semantic interpreter driven by over 3000 verb predicates that use WordNet noun ontology and WordNet verb classes. The select...
