THE CONSORTIUM FOR LEXICAL RESEARCH

摘要

The Consortium for Lexical Research (CLR), established by the Association for Computational Linguistics, with funding from DARPA, is now ending its third year. The Consortium is sited at the Computing Research Laboratory, New Mexico, USA, under its Director, Louise Guthrie, and an ACL advisory committee consisting of Roy Byrd, Ralph Grishman, and Mark Liberman.rnThe objective of the Consortium for Lexical Research is to act as a clearinghouse, in the US and internationally, for lexical data and software. It shares lexical data and tools used to perform research on natural language dictionaries and lexicons, thus accelerating the scale and speed of the development of natural language understanding programs via standard lexicons and software.rnThe task of the CLR is primarily to facilitate research, making available to the whole natural language processing community certain resources now held only by a few groups that have special relationships with companies or dictionary publishers.
