[Corpora-List] SUMMARY semantic tagging

Mon May 16 11:07:32 UTC 2005

Dear all,

Since posting my original summary on this I've received a couple more
contributions.  I've tacked the new references to the top of my original
summary so that it's all together.

Cheers,
Aleem

Subject: [Corpora-List] **SUMMARY** semantic tagging

Dear all,

Thanks for the replies I've received on this.

Inevitably I haven't had chance to wade-through everything yet, but I'm
posting a summary of what I've had.

I'm still after some papers on semantic typing (which I guess will be
ontology driven) so if anyone can point me in the direction of some useful
papers to give me a kick-start on that, then that would be fabulous.

Cheers,
Aleem

Jose Maria Gomez Hidalgo pointed me to the Semantic Role Labelling tasks
at Senesval and CONLL:

Senseval: http://www.senseval.org/senseval3
Senseval "Semantic Role Labeling" task:
http://www.cs.unt.edu/~rada/senseval/senseval3/tasks.html#SemanticRoles
Senseval-3 (2004) proceedings:
http://www.senseval.org/senseval3/proceedings
Specially relevant are the introductory papers that present the task and
an
overview of systems.

CONLL: http://www.cnts.ua.ac.be/conll/
CONLL 05 "Semantic Role Labeling" task: http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~srlconll/
CONLL 04 proceedings: http://www.cnts.ua.ac.be/conll2004/proceedings.html

For an overview of dictionary-based methods of WSD, Ted Pederson suggested
the following Tech Report:

Disambiguation,. Ted Pedersen, Satanjeev Banerjee, and Siddharth
Patwardhan, University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute Research
Report UMSI 2005/25, March 2005.

and also the following sourceforge site for systems to implement their
methods:

Paul Buitelaar suggested the following for an overview of semantic
annotation and WSD from a Knowledge-Markup point of view:

Finally, Rada Mihalcea pointed out SenseLearner as tool for all-words WSD:
