| Abstract | This paper presents an algorithm for aligning FrameNet lexical units to WordNetsynsets. Both, FrameNet and WordNet, are well-known as well as widely-usedresources by the entire research community. They help systems in thecomprehension of the semantics of texts, and therefore, finding strategies tolink FrameNet and WordNet involves challenges related to a better understandingof the human language. Such deep analysis is exploited by researchers toimprove the performance of their applications. The alignment is achieved byexploiting the particular characteristics of each lexical-semantic resource,with special emphasis on the explicit, formal semantic relations in each.Semantic neighborhoods are computed for each alignment of lemmas, and thealgorithm calculates correlation scores by comparing such neighborhoods. Theresults suggest that the proposed algorithm is appropriate for aligning theFrameNet and WordNet hierarchies. Furthermore, the algorithm can aid researchon increasing the coverage of FrameNet, building FrameNets in other languages,and creating a system for querying a joint FrameNet-WordNet hierarchy. |
