Valencer: an API to Query Valence Patterns in FrameNet
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces Valencer: a RESTful API to search for annotated sentences matching a given combination of syntactic realizations of the arguments of a predicate – also called valence pattern – in the FrameNet database. The API takes as input an HTTP GET request specifying a valence pattern and outputs a list of exemplifying annotated sentences in JSON format. The API is designed to be modular and language-independent, and can therefore be easily integrated to other (NLP) server-side or client-side applications, as well as non-English FrameNet projects.

Extracting a bilingual semantic grammar from FrameNet-annotated corpora
We present the creation of an English-Swedish FrameNet-based grammar in Grammatical Framework. The aim of this research is to make existing framenets computationally accessible for multilingual natural language applications via a common semantic grammar API, and to facilitate the porting of such grammar to other languages. In this paper, we describe the abstract syntax of the semantic grammar w...
متن کاملA multilingual FrameNet-based grammar and lexicon for controlled natural language
Berkeley FrameNet is a lexico-semantic resource for English based on the theory of frame semantics. It has been exploited in a range of natural language processing applications and has inspired the development of framenets for many languages. We present a methodological approach to the extraction and generation of a computational multilingual FrameNet-based grammar and lexicon. The approach lev...
متن کاملKorean FrameNet Expansion Based on Projection of Japanese FrameNet
FrameNet project has begun from Berkeley in 1997, and is now supported in several countries reflecting characteristics of each language. The work for generating Korean FrameNet was already done by converting annotated English sentences into Korean with trained translators. However, high cost of frame-preservation and error revision was a huge burden on further expansion of FrameNet. This study ...
متن کاملBeyond Syntactic Valence: FrameNet Markup of Example Sentences in a Slovenian-German Online Dictionary
This contribution focuses on the representation of syntactic and semantic valence in a bilingual electronic dictionary, Online SLODE-SLO. To overcome valence representation problems caused by crosslingual divergences, FrameNet-style annotation is applied to usage examples. Results and possible future directions are discussed.
متن کاملThe NLTK FrameNet API: Designing for Discoverability with a Rich Linguistic Resource
A new Python API, integrated within the NLTK suite, offers access to the FrameNet 1.7 lexical database. The lexicon (structured in terms of frames) as well as annotated sentences can be processed programatically, or browsed with human-readable displays via the interactive Python prompt.
