1 Automatic Acquisition of Lexico - semantic Knowledge for Question Answering
نویسنده
چکیده
Lexico-semantic knowledge is becoming increasingly important within the area of natural language processing, especially for applications, such as Word Sense Disambiguation, Information Extraction and Question Answering (QA). Although the coverage of handmade resources, such as WordNet (Fellbaum, 1998), in general is impressive, coverage problems still exist for those applications involving specific domains or languages other than English.

Automatic Acquisition of Lexico-semantic Knowledge for QA
We present an experiment for finding semantically similar words on the basis of a parsed corpus of Dutch text and show that the acquired information correlates with relations found in Dutch EuroWordNet. Next, we demonstrate how the acquired knowledge can be used to boost the performance of an open-domain question answering system for Dutch. Automatically acquired lexico-semantic information is ...
متن کاملUsing Lexico-Semantic Information for Query Expansion in Passage Retrieval for Question Answering
In this paper we investigate the use of several types of lexico-semantic information for query expansion in the passage retrieval component of our QA system. We have used four corpus-based methods to acquire semantically related words, and we have used one hand-built resource. We evaluate our techniques on the Dutch CLEF QA track.1 In our experiments expansions that try to bridge the terminolog...

In our participation in QAC3, our Question Answering system developed for QAC2 is extended in two ways, separately. The first system is constructed to improve the performance of answer evaluation. The automatic lexico-syntactic pattern acquisition from large corpora and the method to incorporate the patterns into QA system are developed and evaluated. The second system is constructed to impleme...

متن کاملLinked Lexical Knowledge Bases <italic toggle="yes">Foundations and Applications</italic>
Automatic text understanding requires knowledge and, so far, machines know only what we give or teach them. As a consequence, most natural language processing (NLP) tasks crucially rely on the existence of linguistic resources that encode information about language, be it of morphological, syntactic, or semantic nature. Such resources are typically acquired via two main approaches: the knowledg...
