چکیده

We examine the feasibility of harvesting a wide-coverage lexicon of English verbs from the FrameNet semantically annotated corpus, intended for use in a practical natural language understanding (NLU) system. We identify a range of constructions for which current annotation practice leads to problems in deriving appropriate lexical entries, for example imperatives, passives and control, and discuss potential solutions.

Using inheritance and coreness sets to improve a verb lexicon harvested from FrameNet

We investigate two aspects of the annotation scheme underlying the FrameNet semantically annotated corpus — the inheritance relation on semantic types with its corresponding links between semantic roles of increasing granularity, and the specification of coreness sets of related semantic roles — against the background of our ongoing effort to harvest a lexicon of verb entries for deep parsing. ...

Towards Free-text Semantic Parsing: A Unified Framework Based on FrameNet, VerbNet and PropBank

This article describes a robust semantic parser that uses a broad knowledge base created by interconnecting three major resources: FrameNet, VerbNet and PropBank. The FrameNet corpus contains the examples annotated with semantic roles whereas the VerbNet lexicon provides the knowledge about the syntactic behavior of the verbs. We connect VerbNet and FrameNet by mapping the FrameNet frames to th...

Building a computational lexicon and ontology with FrameNet

This paper explores FrameNet as a resource for building a lexicon for deep syntactic and semantic parsing with a practical multipledomain parser. The TRIPS parser is a wide-coverage parser which uses a domain-independent ontology to produce semantic interpretations in 5 different application domains. We show how semantic information from FrameNet can be useful for developing a domainindependent...

Evaluating Complement-Modifier Distinctions in a Semantically Annotated Corpus

We evaluate the extent to which the distinction between semantically core and non-core dependents as used in the FrameNet corpus corresponds to the traditional distinction between syntactic complements and modifiers of a verb, for the purposes of harvesting a widecoverage verb lexicon from FrameNet for use in deep linguistic processing applications. We use the VerbNet verb database as our gold ...
