REPRESENTATION AND ACQUISITION OF LEXICAL KNOWLEDGE:
POLYSEMY, AMBIGUITY, AND GENERATIVITY
The lexicon is at the core of many NL, MT, IR, and KR systems, and
thus can play a central role in determining the success or failure of
a system. Nonetheless, points of sharp controversy have arisen
concerning the most flexible and powerful way to represent the
extensive variety of lexical information required to drive robust
applications. We intend this symposium to provide a forum to discuss
problematic issues of lexical representation, and ways to solve
difficult and complex questions. The symposium will maintain a
balance between theoretical and applications oriented papers.
There will be two ``special events'' at the Workshop: one is an
invited talk by Professor Charles Fillmore on the future of lexical
research, with some visionary thoughts from a pioneer in the field of
lexical semantics. The other is a set of break-out sessions to
involve workshop participants, focusing on ``burning issues'' such as
limits of corpus analysis, machine-readable dictionaries, thematic
roles, linking rules, and other ``limits'' to be set by the
participants. This section of the workshop involves ``pushing the
limits'', and we plan to push our own limits together in focussed
discussions on how to solve such persistent problems.
Organizing Committee:
Bran Boguraev, Apple Computer; Judith Klavans (chair), Columbia
University, klavans at cs.columbia.edu; Lori Levin, Carnegie Mellon
University; James Pustejovsky, Brandeis University.
