Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 100 === In this paper, we introduce a hybrid method to associate English collocations with sense class members chosen from WordNet. Our combinational approach includes a learning-based method, a paraphrase-based method and a sense frequency ranking method. At training time, a set of collocations with their tagged senses is prepared. We use the sentence information extracted from a large corpus and cross-lingual information to train a learning-based model. At run time, the corresponding senses of an input collocation will be decided via majority voting. The three outcomes participated in voting are as follows: 1. the result from a learning-based model; 2. the result from a paraphrase-based model; 3. the result from sense frequency ranking method. The sense with most votes will be associated with the input collocation. Evaluation shows that the hybrid model achieve significant improvement when comparing with the other method described in evaluation time. Our method provides more reliable result on associating collocations with senses that can help lexicographers in compilation of collocations dictionaries and assist learners to understand collocation usages.
