Title The Impact of Grammar Enhancement on Semantic Resources Induction
Authors Luca Dini and Giampaolo Mazzini
Abstract In this paper describes the effects of the evolution of an Italian dependencygrammar on a task of multilingual FrameNet acquisition. The task is based onthe creation of virtual English/Italian parallel annotation corpora, which arethen aligned at dependency level by using two manually encoded grammar baseddependency parsers. We show how the evolution of the LAS (Labeled AttachmentScore) metric for the considered grammar has a direct impact on the quality ofthe induced FrameNet, thus proving that the evolution of the quality ofsyntactic resources is mirrored by an analogous evolution in semantic ones. Inparticular we show that an improvement of 30% in LAS causes an improvement ofprecision for the induced resource ranging from 5% to 10%, depending on thetype of evaluation.
