---+++ Deep Lexical Acquisition

---++++ Tim Baldwin
---++++ University of Melbourne

Abstract:

Deep lexical acquisition is the task of classifying lexemes for predefined
linguistic properties, in line with the requirements of a deep lexical
resource such as a precision grammar or wordnet. In this talk, I will present
a series of lexical acquisition experiments on languages including Malay and
Wambaya, and also discuss ongoing work on assessing the impact of
automatically-learned lexical items on precision grammars.
