Controlling The Application Of Lexical Rules

چکیده
In this paper, we describe an item-familiarity account of the semi-productivity of morphological and lexical rules, and illustrate how it can be applied to practical issues which arise when building large scale lexical knowledge bases which utilize lexical rules. Our approach assumes that attested uses of derived words and senses are explicitly recorded, but that productive use of lexical rules is also possible, though controlled by probabilities associated with rule application. We discuss how the necessary probabilities and estimates of lexical rule productivity may be acquired from corpora.

A Computational Treatment of Lexical Rules in HPSG as Covariation in Lexical Entries
This paper proposes a new computational treatment of lexical rules as used in the HPSG framework. A compiler is described which translates a set of lexical rules and their interaction into a definite clause encoding, which is called by the base lexical entries in the lexicon. This way, the disjunctive possibilities arising from lexical rule application are encoded as systematic covariation in t...
متن کاملTowards the Automatic Acquisition of Lexical Selection Rules
This paper is a study of a certain type of collocations and implication and application to acquisition of lexical selection rules in transfer-approach MT systems. Collocations reveal the co-occurrence possibilities of linguistic units in one language, which often require lexical selection rules to enhance the natural flow and clarity of MT output. The study presents an automatic acquisition and...
متن کاملA Hybrid Machine Translation System Based on a Monotone Decoder
In this paper, a hybrid Machine Translation (MT) system is proposed by combining the result of a rule-based machine translation (RBMT) system with a statistical approach. The RBMT uses a set of linguistic rules for translation, which leads to better translation results in terms of word ordering and syntactic structure. On the other hand, SMT works better in lexical choice. Therefore, in our sys...
متن کاملA Computational Treatment of HPSG Lexical Rules as Covariation in Lexical Entries
We describe a compiler which translates a set of hpsg lexical rules and their interaction into deenite relations used to constrain lexical entries. The compiler ensures automatic transfer of properties unchanged by a lexical rule. Thus an operational semantics for the full lexical rule mechanism as used in HPSG linguistics is provided. Program transformation techniques are used to advance the r...
متن کاملA DECREASE IN THE INCIDENCE OF SYPHILIS IN IRAN AND THE EFFECT OF ISLAMIC RULES IN CONTROLLING SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
Venereal diseases are still a common problem in today's world. Even though tremendous advances are being made in medicine and large budgets are being spent to control sexually transmitted diseases (STD), especially in western countries, these diseases are still yet very common, and today AIDS has been added to the threats posed by STD to human life. The status of syphilis was evaluated in ...
