Declaring Local Contexts of Words with Extensible Dependency Grammar
Maxim Mozgovoy · 2010
Extensible dependency grammar (XDG) is a modern formalism for declaring dependency relations between lexical entries, generally used to construct natural language parsers. This work shows how to use XDG to declare specific contexts of the words, thus turning XDG parser into a word sense disambiguation module or a context-sensitive bilingual dictionary. The capabilities of the proposed method are shown on the example of small English to Finnish dictionary, helpful for entry-level Finnish language learners.
