Roget's Thesaurus as a Lexical Resource for Natural Language Processing
[article]
2012
arXiv
pre-print
Preserved Fulltext
Computational linguists have employed Roget's for almost 50 years in Natural Language Processing, however hesitated in accepting Roget's Thesaurus because a proper machine tractable version was not available ...
Inspired by WordNet's success, we propose as an alternative a similar resource, based on the 1987 Penguin edition of Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases. ...
Jean-Pierre Corriveau, Carleton University 1 Introduction
Lexical Resources for Natural Language Processing Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications need access to vast numbers of words and phrases ...

The resulting lexical chains are a means of identifying cohesive regions in a text, with applications in many natural language processing tasks, including text summarization. ...
We discuss the building of lexical chains using an electronic version of Roget's Thesaurus. We implement a variant of the original algorithm, and explain the necessary design decisions. ...
Acknowledgments We thank Terry Copeck for having prepared the stop list used in building the lexical chains. ...

I propose to build and evaluate a system for automatically updating the lexicon of Roget's Thesaurus. Roget's has been shown to lend itself well to many Natural Language Processing tasks. ...
One of the factors limiting Roget's use is that the only publicly available version of Roget's is from 1911 and is sorely in need of an updated lexicon. ...

This work presents a tuneable method of measuring semantic relatedness, trained on Roget's Thesaurus, which generates lists of terms related to words not yet in the Thesaurus. ...

In this paper we present a new method for measuring semantic relatedness of lexical units, which can be used to generate a thesaurus automatically. ...
The method is based on a comparison of probability distributions of semantic frames generated using the LDA-frames algorithm. ...
In comparison to Roget's thesaurus, which is primarily intended to be used by humans, WordNet is more often utilized in natural language processing taks. ...

We have implemented a system that measures semantic similarity using a computerized 1987 Roget's Thesaurus, and evaluated it by performing a few typical tests. ...
Our Roget's-based system gets correlations of .878 for the smaller and .818 for the larger list of noun pairs; this is quite close to the .885 that Resnik obtained when he employed humans to replicate ...
We explain in detail the measures and the experiments, and draw a few conclusions. 2 Roget's Thesaurus Relations as a Measure of Semantic Distance Resnik (1995) claims that a natural way of calculating ...
