We describe our contribution to the SemEval task on Frame-Semantic Structure Extraction. Unlike most previous systems described in literature, ours is based on dependency syntax. We also describe a fully automatic method to add words to the FrameNet lexical database, which gives an improvement in the recall of frame detection.

This paper explains the principles of dependency analysis by reduction and its correspondence to the notions of dependency and dependency tree. The explanation is illustrated by examples from Czech, a language with a relatively high degree of word-order freedom. The paper sums up the basic features of methods of dependency syntax. The method serves as a basis for the verification (and explanati...

We address the question of which syntactic representation is best suited for role-semantic analysis of English in the FrameNet paradigm. We compare systems based on dependencies and constituents, and a dependency syntax with a rich set of grammatical functions with one with a smaller set. Our experiments show that dependency-based and constituent-based analyzers give roughly equivalent performa...

Copula constructions are problematic in the syntax of most languages. The paper describes three different dependency syntactic methods for handling copula constructions: function head, content head and complex label analysis. Furthermore, we also propose a POS-based approach to copula detection. We evaluate the impact of these approaches in computational parsing, in two parsing experiments for ...

Last night there was an earthquake a few hundred miles away from where I am writing this in California, but it was strong enough to wake me. For a minute or so I could feel the building flapping and rocking and the furniture shaking and moving around the room. This was followed by a deep silence, but I could not go back to sleep, and there is nothing like lying in bed after an earthquake has fa...

SINCE retiring as a full-time faculty member about ment of this building. Their plan was to study mutation in bacteria, and they looked for methods to measure 10 years ago, I have occupied myself with writing chronicles of past experiences. The first was an account mutation rates. At Cold Spring Harbor they had encountered Jacques of the advances made in the elucidation of gene expression and i...
