Collocations

The output of handwritten word recognizers (Wit) tends to be very noisy due to various factors. In order to compensate for this behaviour, several choices of the WR must be …...

AbstractThis paper is a study of a certain type of collocations and implication and application to acquisition of lexical selection rules in transfer-approach MT systems. Collocations reveal the co-occurrence possibilities …...

This paper describes unsupervised learn- ing algorithm for disambiguating verbal word senses using term weight learning. In our method, collocations which char- acterise every sense are extracted using similarity-based estimation. …...

This paper describes the NMSU-Pitt-UNCA word-sense disambiguation system participat- ing in the Senseval-3 English lexical sample task. The focus of the work is on using seman- tic class-based collocations to …...

. We propose and test several computational methods to automatically determine possible saliency cut-off points in Sketch Engine (Kilgarriff and Tugwell, 2001). Sketch Engine currently displays collocations in descending importance, …...

We propose a new method for organizing the numerous collocates into semantic thesaurus categories. The approach introduces a thesaurus-based semantic classification model automatically learning semantic relations for classifying adjective-noun (A-N) …...

Collocations constitute a subclass of multi-word expressions that are particu- larly problematic for machine translation, due 1) to their omnipresence in texts, and 2) to their morpho-syntactic proper- ties, allowing …...

. Identifying collocations in a text (e.g., break record) and correctly translating them (battre record vs. *casser record) represent key issues in machine translation, notably because of their prevalence in …...

AbstractThis article discusses the treatment of collocations in the context of a long-term project on the development of multilingual NLP tools. Besides “classical” two-word collocations, we will focus on the …...

AbstractThis work presents an initial investigation on how to distinguish collocations from free combinations. The assumption is that, while free combinations can be literally translated, the overall meaning of collocations …...

We propose and assess the novel idea of using automatically induced constructions as a unit of analysis for corpus-based discourse analysis. Automated techniques are needed in order to elucidate important …...

The paper focuses on selecting an optimal set of the Multiword Expressions Extrac- tion methods used as a tool during word- net expansion. Wordnet multiword lexi- cal units are a …...

AbstractThe appropriate use of collocations is a challenge for second language acquisition. However, high quality and easily accessible Chinese collocation resources are not available for both teachers and students. This …...

The object of this article is to describe the extraction of data from a corpus of academic texts in Spanish and the use of those data for developing a lexical …...

We present a generic deep realizer called GenDR, which takes as input an abstract semantic representation of predicate-argument relations, and produces corresponding syntactic dependency structures in English, French, Lithuanian and …...

In this paper, we present a Java API to retrieve the lexical information from the French Lexical Network, a lexical resource based on the Meaning-Text Theory’s lexical functions, which was …...

AbstractThis paper presents a new multilingual corpus with semantic annotation of collocations in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. The whole resource contains 155k tokens and 1,526 collocations labeled in context. The …...

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce our psychological approach to collect human-specific social knowledge from a text corpus, using NLP techniques. It is often not explicitly described but shared among people, …...

AbstractThe paper presents the issue of collocability and collocations in Russian and gives a survey of a wide range of dictionaries both printed and online ones that describe collocations. Our …...
