An Experiment on Learning Appropriate Selectional Restrictions from a Parsed Corpus

cmp-lg 2008-02-03 v1 Computation and Language

Abstract

We present a methodology to extract Selectional Restrictions at a variable level of abstraction from phrasally analyzed corpora. The method relays in the use of a wide-coverage noun taxonomy and a statistical measure of the co-occurrence of linguistic items. Some experimental results about the performance of the method are provided.
