This page describes ongoing work to incorporate more lexical semantics into DELPH-IN.

Prelimary work is being done using the ERG and wordnet, mainly at NTU (FrancisBond, MathieuMorey) and UW (ZinaPozen).

Content

• Some early discussions at the Suquamish Summit

• Some thoughts on mapping between ERG and Wordnet predicates

• MRS mini-modelling Sympoisum at UW

• Semcor Wordnet-ERG mapping and link to data download

• Discussions at the Saarland Summit

To Maybe Do

• learn first senses from a large corpus in the style of McCarthy et al (2004) and use these to train the generative model --- especially useful for non-English
