Detecting Non-compositional MWE Components using Wiktionary
Bahar Salehi, Paul F. Cook, Timothy J. Baldwin · 2014
We propose a simple unsupervised ap-proach to detecting non-compositional components in multiword expressions based on Wiktionary. The approach makes use of the definitions, synonyms and trans-lations in Wiktionary, and is applicable to any type of MWE in any language, assum-ing the MWE is contained in Wiktionary. Our experiments show that the proposed approach achieves higher F-score than state-of-the-art methods. 1
