Sense classification of verbal polysemy based-on Bilingual Class/Class Association
Takehito Utsuro · 1996
n the field of statistical analysis of natural language data, the measure of word/class association has proved to be quite useful for discovering a meaningtiff sense cluster in an arbitrary level of the thesaurus.In this paper, we apply its idea to the sense classification of Japanese verbal polysemy in case frame acquisition from Japanese-English parallel corpora.Measures of bilingual class~class association and bilingual class/frame association are introduced and used for discovering sense clusters in the sense distribution of English predicates and Japanese case element nouns.In a small experiment, 93.3% of the discovered clusters are correct in that none of them contains examples of more than one hand-classified senses.
