Acquiring lexical information from multilevel temporal annotations
Thorsten Trippel, Felix Sasaki, Benjamin Hell, Dafydd Gibbon · 2003
The extraction of lexical information for machine readable lexica from multilevel annotations is addressed in this paper. Relations between these levels of annotation are used for subclassification of lexical entries. A method for relating annotation units is presented, based on a temporal calculus. Relating the annotation units manually is errorprone, time consuming and tends to be inconsistent, and a method is presented for automatically accomplishing this task, and evaluated using German, Japanese and Anyi (W. Africa) corpora.
