Towards a Thesaurus of Predicates
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a thesaurus of predicates that can help to resolve pre-editing and/or post-editing problems in machine translation environments. It differs from earlier approaches such as conventional dictionaries in that we are aiming to link a wide range of near-synonyms and paraphrases. We are compiling such similar examples through both introspection and the use of translation data, giving us a large collection of monolingual and bilingual equivalences. This thesaurus enables the following machine translation techniques. (a) Unification of synonymous expressions in the source language (source language paraphrasing). (b) Conversion of homonymous expressions to more easily translated ones (source language rewriting). (c) Development of expressions appearing in the target language into various expressions (target language paraphrasing).

متن کاملA Thesaurus of Predicate-Argument Structure for Japanese Verbs to Deal with Granularity of Verb Meanings
In this paper we propose a framework of verb semantic description in order to organize different granularity of similarity between verbs. Since verb meanings highly depend on their arguments we propose a verb thesaurus on the basis of possible shared meanings with predicate-argument structure. Motivations of this work are to (1) construct a practical lexicon for dealing with alternations, parap...

In the eld of statistical analysis of natural language data, the measure of word/class association has proved to be quite useful for discovering a meaningful sense cluster in an arbitrary level of the thesaurus. In this paper, we apply its idea to the sense classi cation of Japanese verbal polysemy in case frame acquisition from Japanese-English parallel corpora. A measure of bilingual class/cl...
