Retrieving Information from the French Lexical Network in RDF/OWL Format (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a Java API to retrieve lexical information from the French Lexical Network is presented . RDF/OWL languages are not sufficient for a more detailed representation of linguistic information. |
| Approach: | They propose a Java API to retrieve lexical information from the French Lexical Network . this API was used in the identification of collocations in a french corpus of 1.8 million sentences . |
| Outcome: | The proposed API was used to identify collocations in a French corpus of 1.8 million sentences and in the semantic classification of these collocation. |
A Methodology for Building a Diachronic Dataset of Semantic Shifts and its Application to QC-FR-Diac-V1.0, a Free Reference for French (2022.lrec-1)

| Challenge: | Existing algorithms to detect semantic shifts have been criticized for their difficulty in evaluating them. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for building a reference dataset for semantic shift detection . they use a word-sense disambiguation model to associate a date of first appearance to all senses of a term . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is based on a word-sense disambiguation model . significant changes in sense distributions and stability are detected . the resulting words are inspected by experts using a dedicated interface . |
GenDR: A Generic Deep Realizer with Complex Lexicalization (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Generic deep realizers are used for natural language generation, but they are not yet fully dominated by statistical or neuronal methods. |
| Approach: | They propose a generic deep realizer that produces syntactic dependency structures in languages . they use a graph transducer to lexicalize multiword expressions and build on it . |
| Outcome: | The proposed system produces syntactic dependency structures in English, French, Lithuanian and Persian . it is generic in that it is designed to operate across a wide range of languages and applications . |
