Abstract
This paper reports about experiments with GermaNet as a resource within domain specific document analysis. The main question to be answered is: How is the coverage of GermaNet in a specific domain? We report about results of a field test of GermaNet for analyses of autopsy protocols and present a sketch about the integration of GermaNet inside XDOC.
this paper, we examine the idea of lexical chains as such a representation. We show how they can be constructed by means of WordNet, and how they can be applied in one particular linguistic task: the detection and correction of malapropisms.
WordNets such as GermaNet have been frequently used as an inventory of word-senses for word-sense disambiguation tasks. In the work described here we evaluate the adequacy of GermaNet for this task. That is we attempt to determine the degree to which GermaNet provides an adequate inventory of senses for word-sense annotation of running text. Our findings were on the whole very encouraging. GermaNet provides an appropriate sense for 83 % of the content words in our texts. More interestingly, an error analysis showed that simple morphological processing could significantly improve coverage.
We report about the current state of development of a document suite and its applications. This collection of tools for the flexible and robust processing of documents in German is based on the use of XML as unifying formalism for encoding input and output data as well as process information. It is organized in modules with limited responsibilities that can easily be combined into pipelines to solve complex tasks. Strong emphasis is laid on a number of techniques to deal with lexical and conceptual gaps that are typical when starting a new application.
