Textual Coverage of Eventive Entries in Lexical Semantic Resources (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Several English, German, Spanish and Czech lexical semantic resources (which, for the most part, focus on verbs and predicates) have been selected for this experiment. |
| Approach: | They propose to quantify coverage gaps in lexical semantic resources when applied to running texts taken from the internet. |
| Outcome: | The proposed resources cover eventive entries (verbs, predicates, etc.) of well-known lexical semantic resources when applied to running texts taken from the internet. |

Integrating Generative Lexicon Event Structures into VerbNet (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Efforts to use the verb lexicon's semantic representations have revealed a need to revise the form to allow for greater flexibility in representing complex events. |
| Approach: | They propose to restrict the form to first-order representations to simplify use by planners and integrate with the Generative Lexicon's event structure. |
| Outcome: | The proposed representations simplify use by and integration with planners and allow for greater flexibility in representing complex events and for a more nuanced portrayal of the Agent's role. |

Methodological Aspects of Developing and Managing an Etymological Lexical Resource: Introducing EtymDB-2.0 (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Diachronic lexical information is increasingly used in historical linguistics and in NLP . etymological resources need to be fine-grained, large-coverage and accurate . |
| Approach: | They propose guidelines to generate etymological lexical resources for each step of the life-cycle of an ethymology . they introduce EtymDB 2.0, an 'etiological database' generated from the Wiktionary . |
| Outcome: | The proposed resources are generated for each step of the life-cycle of an etymological lexicon: creation, update, evaluation, dissemination, and exploitation. |
Enriching a Lexicon of Discourse Connectives with Corpus-based Data (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing annotation efforts for multiple languages have focused on discourse connectives, but we have limited it to the class of connectives marking contrast and the additional relations such connectives might convey. |
| Approach: | They enrich a lexicon of italian COnnectives with real corpus data for connectives marking contrast relations in text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed resource is a valuable tool for linguistic analyses of discourse relations and the training of a classifier for NLP applications. |
