Using Wiktionary to Create Specialized Lexical Resources and Datasets

no code implementations LREC 2022 Lenka Bajčetić, Thierry Declerck

This paper describes an approach aiming at utilizing Wiktionary data for creating specialized lexical datasets which can be used for enriching other lexical (semantic) resources or for generating datasets that can be used for evaluating or improving NLP tasks, like Word Sense Disambiguation, Word-in-Context challenges, or Sense Linking across lexicons and dictionaries.

Word Sense Disambiguation

Therefore, the OntoLex community has put forward the proposal for a novel module for frequency, attestation and corpus information (FrAC), that not only covers the requirements of digital lexicography, but also accommodates essential data structures for lexical information in natural language processing.

Towards an Extension of the Linking of the Open Dutch WordNet with Dutch Lexicographic Resources

no code implementations LREC 2020 Thierry Declerck

This extended abstract presents on-going work consisting in interlinking and merging the Open Dutch WordNet and generic lexicographic resources for Dutch, focusing for now on the Dutch and English versions of Wiktionary and using the Algemeen Nederlands Woordenboek as a quality checking instance.

On the Linguistic Linked Open Data Infrastructure

no code implementations LREC 2020 Christian Chiarcos, Bettina Klimek, Christian F{\"a}th, Thierry Declerck, John Philip McCrae

In this paper we describe the current state of development of the Linguistic Linked Open Data (LLOD) infrastructure, an LOD(sub-)cloud of linguistic resources, which covers various linguistic data bases, lexicons, corpora, terminology and metadata repositories. We give in some details an overview of the contributions made by the European H2020 projects {``}Pr{\^e}t-{\`a}-LLOD{''} ({`}Ready-to-useMultilingual Linked Language Data for Knowledge Services across Sectors{'}) and {``}ELEXIS{''} ({`}European Lexicographic Infrastructure{'}) to the further development of the LLOD.

Using OntoLex-Lemon for Representing and Interlinking German Multiword Expressions in OdeNet and MMORPH

no code implementations WS 2019 Thierry Declerck, Melanie Siegel, Stefania Racioppa

We show how the Multiword Expressions (MWEs) contained in OdeNet can be morphologically specified by the use of the lexical representation and linking features of OntoLex-Lemon, which also support the formulation of restrictions in the usage of such expressions.
