Automatic Extraction of NV Expressions in Basque: Basic Issues on Cooccurrence Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
Taking as a starting-point the development on cooccurrence techniques for several languages, we focus on the aspects that should be considered in a NV extraction task for Basque. In Basque, NV expressions are considered those combinations in which a noun, inflected or not, is co-occurring with a verb, as erabakia hartu (‘to make a decision’), kontuan hartu (‘to take into account’) and buruz jakin (‘to know by heart’). A basic extraction system has been developed and evaluated against two references: a) a reference which includes NV entries from several lexicographic works; and b) a manual evaluation by three experts of a random sample from the n-best lists.

Measuring the compositionality of NV expressions in Basque by means of distributional similarity techniques
We present several experiments aiming at measuring the semantic compositionality of NV expressions in Basque. Our approach is based on the hypothesis that compositionality can be related to distributional similarity. The contexts of each NV expression are compared with the contexts of its corresponding components, by means of different techniques, as similarity measures usually used with the Ve...
متن کاملCombining Different Features of Idiomaticity for the Automatic Classification of Noun+Verb Expressions in Basque
We present an experimental study of how different features help measuring the idiomaticity of noun+verb (NV) expressions in Basque. After testing several techniques for quantifying the four basic properties of multiword expressions or MWEs (institutionalization, semantic non-compositionality, morphosyntactic fixedness and lexical fixedness), we test different combinations of them for classifica...

We present the work done by Elhuyar Foundation in the field of bilingual terminology extraction. The aim of this work is to develop some techniques for the automatic extraction of pairs of equivalent terms from Spanish-Basque translation memories, and to implement those techniques in a prototype. Our approach is based on a previous monolingual extraction of term candidates in each language, the...

متن کاملCollecting Evaluative Expressions for Opinion Extraction
Automatic extraction of human opinions from Web documents has been receiving increasing interest. To automate the process of opinion extraction, having a collection of evaluative expressions such as ”the seats are comfortable” would be useful. However, it can be costly to manually create an exhaustive list of such expressions for many domains, because they tend to be domain-dependent. Motivated...
