| Abstract | We describe an approach to large-scale construction of a semantic lexicon for Chinese verbs. We leverage off of three existing resources-- a classification of English verbs called EVCA (English Verbs Classes and Alternations), a Chinese conceptual database called HowNet, and a large-machine readable dictionary called Optilex. The resulting lexicon is used for determining appropriate word senses in applications such as machine translation and cross-language information retrieval. |
