Abstract

Methods that re-use existing mono-lingual semantic annotation resources to annotate a new language rely on the hypothesis that the semantic annotation scheme used is cross-lingually valid. We test this hypothesis in an annotation agreement study. We show that the annotation scheme can be applied cross-lingually.

Cross-lingual annotation projection of semantic roles

This article considers the task of automatically inducing role-semantic annotations in the FrameNet paradigm for new languages. We propose a general framework that is based on annotation projection, phrased as a graph optimization problem. It is ...
