| Challenge: | Frame induction is the automatic creation of frame-semantic resources similar to FrameNet or PropBank, which map lexical units of a language to frame representations of each lexical unit’s semantics. |
| Approach: | They propose to use frames to map lexical units to frame representations of each lexical unit's semantics. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework compares the semantics of alternating verbs and their similarities and differences. |

Corpus-based Identification of Verbs Participating in Verb Alternations Using Classification and Manual Annotation (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Verb alternations allow verbs to appear in a set of syntactically different constructions whose associated semantic frames are systematically related. |
| Approach: | They use ENCOW and VerbNet data to train classifiers to predict the instrument subject alternation and the causative-inchoative alternation . they use count-based and vector-based features as well as perplexity-based language model features to reflect each alternation’s felicity by simulating it. |
