Swords: A Benchmark for Lexical Substitution with Improved Data Coverage and Quality [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2021 Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies, 2021 We release a new benchmark for lexical substitution, the task of finding appropriate substitutes for a target word in a context. To assist humans with writing, lexical substitution systems can suggest words that humans cannot easily think of. However, existing benchmarks depend on human recall as the only source of data, and therefore lack coverage of ...

Semantic extraction with wide-coverage lexical resources [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2003 Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics on Human Language Technology companion volume of the Proceedings of HLT-NAACL 2003--short papers - NAACL '03, 2003 We report on results of combining graphical modeling techniques with Information Extraction resources (Pattern Dictionary and Lexicon) for both frame and semantic role assignment. Our approach demonstrates the use of two human built knowledge bases (WordNet and FrameNet) for the task of semantic extraction.

Aggressive morphology for robust lexical coverage [PDF]
Proceedings of the sixth conference on Applied natural language processing -, 2000 This paper describes an approach to providing lexical information for natural language processing in unrestricted domains. A system of approximately 1200 morphological rules is used to extend a core lexicon of 39, 000 words to provide lexical coverage that exceeds that of a lexicon of 80, 000 words or 150, 000 word forms.

The Bare Necessities: Increasing Lexical Coverage for Multi-Word Domain Terms with Less Lexical Data [PDF]
Proceedings of the 11th Workshop on Multiword Expressions, 2015 We argue that many multi-word domain terms are not (and should not be regarded as) strictly atomic, especially from a parser’s point of view. We introduce the notion of Lexical Kernel Units (LKUs), and discuss some of their essential properties. LKUs are building blocks for lexicalizations of domain concepts, and as such, can be used for compositional ...
