From Glosses to Qualia: Qualia Extraction from Senso Comune
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a case study on methods for automatically extracting qualia relations from dictionary glosses in Italian, namely the Senso Comune De Mauro Dictionary (SCDM). The qualia extraction has been addressed by means of a pattern-based approach and lexical match with an Italian generative lexicon based language resource, PAROLE-SIMPLECLIPS (PSC). The evaluation of the extraction approaches has been performed with respect to a manually built Gold Standard containig 174 different qualia. The results obtained are encouraging (P = 0.84, R = 0.08 for the pattern extraction approach and P=0.73 and R=0.16 for the merging of pattern extraction and lexical match) and suggest that the information contained in the SCDM glosses is complementary with that in PSC.

Qualia Extraction and Creative Metaphor in WordNet
There is an evident correlation between semantic distance and creativity in the treatment of metaphor. When the tenor and vehicle concepts of a metaphor are semantic neighbors, the local structure of the taxonomy can be used to constrain any interpretations and thus significantly curtail the breadth of the search space. This reliance on taxonomy makes WordNet ideally suited to the treatment of ...
متن کاملAcquisition of Qualia Elements from Corpora - Evaluation of a Symbolic Learning Method
This paper presents and evaluates a system extracting from a corpus noun-verb pairs whose components are related by a special kind of link: the qualia roles as defined in the Generative Lexicon. This system is based on a symbolic learning method that automatically learns, from noun-verb pairs that are or are not related by a qualia link, rules characterizing positive examples from negative ones...
متن کاملV . S . Ramachandran and William Hirstein Three Laws of Qualia
Neurological syndromes in which consciousness seems to malfunction, such as temporal lobe epilepsy, visual scotomas, Charles Bonnet syndrome, and synesthesia offer valuable clues about the normal functions of consciousness and ‘qualia’. An investigation into these syndromes reveals, we argue, that qualia are different from other brain states in that they possess three functional characteristics...
متن کاملAutomatic Acquisition of Ranked Qualia Structures from the Web
This paper presents an approach for the automatic acquisition of qualia structures for nouns from the Web and thus opens the possibility to explore the impact of qualia structures for natural language processing at a larger scale. The approach builds on earlier work based on the idea of matching specific lexico-syntactic patterns conveying a certain semantic relation on the World Wide Web using...
متن کاملAligning an Italian WordNet with a Lexicographic Dictionary: Coping with limited data
This work describes the evaluations of two approaches, Lexical Matching and Sense Similarity, for word sense alignment between MultiWordNet and a lexicographic dictionary, Senso Comune De Mauro, when having few sense descriptions (MultiWordNet) and no structure over senses (Senso Comune De Mauro). The results obtained from the merging of the two approaches are satisfying, with F1 values of 0.47...
