Inferences for Lexical Semantic Resource Building with Less Supervision
Nadia Bebeshina | Mathieu Lafourcade
Proceedings of The 12th Language Resources and Evaluation Conference

Lexical semantic resources may be built using various approaches such as extraction from corpora, integration of the relevant pieces of knowledge from the pre-existing knowledge resources, and endogenous inference. Each of these techniques needs human supervision in order to deal with the potential errors, mapping difficulties or inferred candidate validation. We detail how various inference processes can be employed for the less supervised lexical semantic resource building. Our experience is based on the combination of different inference techniques for multilingual resource building and evaluation.

Game Design Evaluation of GWAPs for Collecting Word Associations
Mathieu Lafourcade | Le Brun Nathalie
Workshop on Games and Natural Language Processing

GWAP design might have a tremendous effect on its popularity of course but also on the quality of the data collected. In this paper, a comparison is undertaken between two GWAPs for building term association lists, namely JeuxDeMots and Quicky Goose. After comparing both game designs, the Cohen kappa of associative lists in various configurations is computed in order to assess likeness and differences of the data they provide.
