A Method Of Creating New Bilingual Valency Entries Using Alternations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method that uses alternation data to add new entries to an existing bilingual valency lexicon. If the existing lexicon has only one half of the alternation, then our method constructs the other half. The new entries have detailed information about argument structure and selectional restrictions. In this paper we focus on one class of alternations, but our method is applicable to any alternation. We were able to increase the coverage of the causative alternation to 98%, and the new entries gave an overall improvement in translation quality of 32%.

متن کاملAutomatic Addition of Verbal Semantic Attributes to a Japanese-to-English Valency Transfer Dictionary
The effectiveness of using the semantic attributes of verbs has been shown in various kinds of natural processing systems, such as machine translation systems. The addition of an attribute value is, however, time-consuming and must be performed by hand by an expert on the attribute value. In this paper, two methods for efficiently adding verbal semantic attributes to a Japanese-to-English valen...
