Resolving syntactic ambiguities with lexico-semantic patterns
Simonetta Montemagni⋄, Stefano Federici, Vito Pirrelli · 1996
A system for the resolution of syntactic ambiguities is illustrated which operates on morpho-syntactically ambiguous subject-object assignments in Italian and tries to find the most likely analysis on the basis of the evidence contained in a knowledge base of linguistic data automatically extracted from on-line resources. The system works on the basis of a set of straighforward analogy-based principles. Its performance on a substantial corpus of test data extracted from real texts is described.
