On Operative Creation of Lexical Resources in Different Languages

Abstract

Cognitive modeling is to a large extent mediated by lexicons thus bringing in focus operative creation of high quality lexical resources. This paper presents a methodology and tool for automatic extraction of lexical data from textual sources. The methodology combines n-gram extraction and a filtering algorithm, which operates blocs of shallow linguistic knowledge. The specificity of the approach is three-fold, - (i) it allows dynamic extraction of lexical resources and does not rely on a pre-constructed corpus; (ii) it does not miss low frequency units; (iii) it is portable between different lexical types, domains and languages. The methodology has been implemented into a tool that can be used in a wide range of text processing tasks useful for cognitive modeling from ontology acquisition, to automatic annotation, multilingual information retrieval, machine translation, etc.
