Representation and Inference for Open-Domain QA: Strength and Limits of two Italian Semantic Lexicons
Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2006)
Abstract
The paper reports on the results of the exploitation of two Italian lexicons (ItalWordNet and SIMPLE-CLIPS) in an Open-Domain Question Answering application for Italian. The intent is to analyse the behavior of the lexicons in application in order to understand what are their limits and points of strength. The final aim of the paper is contributing to the debate about usefulness of computational lexicons in NLP, by providing evidence from the point of view of a particular application.
