A Chinese Corpus with Word Sense Annotation

摘要

This paper presents the construction of a Chinese word sense-tagged corpus. The resulting lexical resource includes mainly three components: 1) a corpus annotated with word senses; 2) a lexicon containing sense distinction and description in the feature-based formalism; 3) the linking between the sense entries in the lexicon and CCD synsets. A dynamic model is put forward to build the three knowledge bases simultaneously and interactively. The strategy to improve consistency is addressed since consistency is a thorny issue for constructing semantic resources. The inter-annotator agreement of the sense-tagged corpus is satisfied. The database will grow up to be a powerful lexical resource both for linguistic researches on Chinese lexical semantics and word sense disambiguation.
