Aproximación al trasvase automático de predicados de FrameNet al español mediante WordNet

Abstract

In the field of Natural Language Processing, linguistic resources are structured and detailed descriptions of a certain language. They are considered as key elements for studying languages and developing applications. However, these repositories are slow and difficult to build, and most of them focuses on English. This work tries to improve the lack of linguistic resources in Spanish by transferring part of the information encoded in the FrameNet project into Spanish. For this purpose, we developed an automatic procedure able to align the different frame predicates with the WordNet synsets that best represent them. Our system reaches an 88% precision and makes it possible to reuse this semantic resource for linguistic studies in Spanish.
