This paper focuses on the semantic relations and interpratations of Chinese noun compounds (mostly search terms). In light of the semantic classification from Semantic Knowledge-base of Contemporary Chinese (SKCC) and Qualia Structures introduced by Pustejovsky (1991, 1995), we analyze the combinations of the semantic classes of the noun compounds, and thus, discover the implicit predicates of ...

This paper focuses on presenting an initial effort for porting SProUT — a novel general purpose IE platform, to processing Baltic and Slavonic languages. We describe the system, characterize the mentioned language groups and discuss the process of developing named-entity and chunk grammars for these languages, which are crucial for solving information extraction tasks.
