Multilingual eXtended WordNet Knowledge Base: Semantic Parsing and Translation of Glosses
Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2014)
Abstract
This paper presents a method to create WordNet-like lexical resources for different languages. Instead of directly translating glosses from one language to another, we perform first semantic parsing of WordNet glosses and then translate the resulting semantic representation. The proposed approach simplifies the machine translation of the glosses. The approach provides ready to use semantic representation of glosses in target languages instead of just plain text.
