Adaptation of the F-measure to Cluster Based Lexicon Quality Evaluation

Abstract

An external lexicon quality measure called the L-measure is derived from the F-measure (Rijsbergen, 1979; Larsen and Aone, 1999). The typically small sample sizes available for minority languages and the evaluation of Semitic language lexicons are two main factors considered. Large-scale evaluation results for the Maltilex Corpus are presented (Rosner et al., 1999).
