We present DEFINDER, a rule-based system for extraction of definitions from on-line consumer-oriented medical articles. We provide an extensive evaluation on three dimensions: i) performance of the definition extraction technique in terms of precision and recall, ii) quality of the built dictionary as judged both by specialists and lay users, iii) coverage of existing on-line dictionaries. The corpus we used for the study is publicly available. A major contribution of the paper is the range of quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods. 1.

  • Towards a Conceptual Representation of Lexical Meaning in Wordnet
    Towards a Conceptual Representation of Lexical Meaning in WordNet Jen-nan Chen Sue J. Ker Department of Information Management, Department of Computer Science, Ming Chuan University Soochow University Taipei, Taiwan Taipei, Taiwan [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Knowledge acquisition is an essential and intractable task for almost every natural language processing study. To date, corpus approach is a primary means for acquiring lexical-level semantic knowledge, but it has the problem of knowledge insufficiency when training on various kinds of corpora. This paper is concerned with the issue of how to acquire and represent conceptual knowledge explicitly from lexical definitions and their semantic network within a machine-readable dictionary. Some information retrieval techniques are applied to link between lexical senses in WordNet and conceptual ones in Roget's categories. Our experimental results report an overall accuracy of 85.25% (87, 78, 89, and 87% for nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, respectively) when evaluating on polysemous words discussed in previous literature. 1 Introduction Knowledge representation has traditionally been thought of as the heart of various applications of natural language processing. Anyone who has built a natural language processing system has had to tackle the problem of representing its knowledge of the world. One of the applications for knowledge representation is word sense disambiguation (WSD) for unrestricted text, which is one of the major problems in analyzing sentences. In the past, the substantial literature on WSD has concentrated on statistical approaches to analyzing and extracting information from corpora (Gale et al. 1992; Yarowsky 1992, 1995; Dagan and Itai 1994; Luk 1995; Ng and Lee 1996).

  • Draft 5 for Printing
    Jan Milí č of Kroměř íž and Emperor Charles IV: Preaching, Power, and the Church of Prague Eleanor Janega UCL Thesis Submitted for the degree of PhD in History 1 I, Eleanor Janega, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in my thesis. 2 Abstract During the second half of the fourteenth century Jan Milí č of Krom ěř íž became an active and popular preacher in Prague. The sermons which he delivered focused primarily on themes of reform, and called for a renewal within the church. Despite a sustained popularity with the lay populace of Prague, Milí č faced opposition to his practice from many individual members of the city’s clergy. Eventually he was the subject of twelve articles of accusation sent to the papal court of Avignon. Because of the hostility which Milí č faced, historians have most often written of him as a precursor to the Hussites. As a result he has been identified as an anti-establishment rabble-rouser and it has been assumed that he conducted his career in opposition to the court of the Emperor Charles IV. This thesis, over four body chapters, examines the careers of both Milí č and Charles and argues that instead of being enemies, the two men shared an amicable relationship. The first chapter examines Milí č’s career and will prove that he was well-connected to Charles and several members of his court. It will also examine the most common reasons given to argue that Charles and Milí č were at odds, and disprove them.
