A Weighted Lexicon of French Event Names
Béatrice Arnulphy · 2011
This paper describes a study in the purpose of annotation of event names in French texts. It presents a theoretical study about the notion of Event and defines the types of event names under study. It then presents related works about Events in NLP. Afterwards, we first use manually supervised lexicons that provide lists of nouns representing events, and demonstrate the limitations of lexicons in the task of event recognition. Further experiments are presented to propose an automatic method for building a weighted lexicon of event names. 1 1
