Semi-automatic Acquisition of Lexical Resources and Grammars for Event Extraction in Bulgarian and Czech
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a semi-automatic approach for acqusition of lexico-syntactic knowledge for event extraction in two Slavic languages, namely Bulgarian and Czech. The method uses several weaklysupervised and unsupervised algorithms, based on distributional semantics. Moreover, an intervention from a language expert is envisaged on different steps in the learning procedure, which increases its accuracy, with respect to unsupervised methods for lexical and grammar learning.

Terminology Acquisition and Description Using Lexical Resources and Local Grammars
Acquisition of new terminology from specific domains and its adequate description within terminological dictionaries is a complex task, especially for languages that are morphologically complex such as Serbian. In this paper we present an approach to solving this task semi-automatically on basis of lexical resources and local grammars developed for Serbian. Special attention is given to automat...
متن کاملTowards the Automatic Extraction of Definitions in Slavic
This paper presents the results of the preliminary experiments in the automatic extraction of definitions (for semi-automatic glossary construction) from usually unstructured or only weakly structured e-learning texts in Bulgarian, Czech and Polish. The extraction is performed by regular grammars over XML-encoded morphosyntacticallyannotated documents. The results are less than satisfying and w...

This is a longitudinal case study of two Farsi-speaking children learning English: ‘Bernard’ and ‘Melissa’, who were 7;4 and 8;4 at the start of data collection. The research deals with the initial state and further development in the child second language (L2) acquisition of syntax regarding the presence or absence of copula as a functional category, as well as the role and degree of L1 influe...
متن کاملEvent Extraction for Balkan Languages
We describe a system for real-time detection of security and crisis events from online news in three Balkan languages: Turkish, Romanian and Bulgarian. The system classifies the events according to a finegrained event type set. It extracts structured information from news reports, by using a blend of keyword matching and finite-state grammars for entity recognition. We apply a multilingual meth...
متن کاملThe role of Persian causative markers in the acquisition of English causative verbs
This project investigates the relationship between lexical semantics and causative morphology in the acquisition of causative/inchoative-related verbs in English as a foreign language by Iranian speakers. Results of translation and picture judgment task show although L2 learners have largely acquired the correct lexico-syntactic classification of verbs in English, they were constrained by ...
