Tuning Lexicons to New Operational Scenarios
Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2000)
Abstract
In this paper the role of the lexicon within typical application tasks based on NLP is analysed. A large scale semantic lexicon is studied within the framework of a NLP application. The coverage of the lexicon with respect the target domain and a (semi)automatic tuning approach have been evaluated. The impact of a corpus-driven inductive architecture aiming to compensate lacks in lexical information are thus measured and discussed.
