| Summary: |
For Query: Linguist 10.1937 Sorry for the great delay of this Summary. I asked for resources on Machine Translation of Compound Nouns, especially using corpora, statistics, or word similarity. I received a lot of useful hints which I should have shared earlier. 1. and 2. are actually papers on MT of Comp. nouns, the other references are more about extraction, interpretation, or give general literature in the field. - ----------------- 1. Gregory Grefenstette sent me his paper from the ASLIB "Translating and the Computer 21 Conference" "The WWW as a Resource for Example-Based MT Tasks", which Christian Jacquemin also pointed to. 2. Francis Bond <bond@csli.stanford.edu> referred two papers in TMI-99 by Takaaki Tanaka <takaaki@cslab.kecl.ntt.co.jp> and Kumiko Ohmori <kumiko@isl.ntt.co.jp>, resp. 3. Gabriel Pereira Lopes refered the work of Antonio Ribeiro <ambar@di.fct.unl.pt>, Gael Dias <ddg@di.fct.unl.pt> and Joaquim Ferreira da Silva <jfs@di.fct.unl.pt> in the Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Also, Henny Klein pointed to an Gael Dias-abstract at http://www-uilots.let.uu.nl/~Paola.Monachesi/personal/abstr/dias.html On request, J. da Silva sent one paper of his. 4. Maria Lapata <mlap@cogsci.ed.ac.uk> sent an abstract of her paper "The Acquisition and Interpretation of Compound Nouns" 5. Ingo Plag <plag@mbox.anglistik.uni-hannover.de> gave the reference to Compound comprehension in isolation and in context. The contribution of conceptual and discourse knowledge to the comprehension of novel noun-noun compounds. By RALF MEYER. Linguistische Arbeiten, Band 2999 Tuebingen: Niemeyer, 1993. Pp. XIII, 224. Paper DM/SFr 106.00 and sent a review he has written of this book. 6. Piroska Lendvai <p.lendvai@dpg.hu> quoted two interesting homepages with references: http://www.let.rug.nl/~vannoord/clin/clin.html 7. Arthur Cater <Arthur.Cater@ucd.ie> gave the following reference: "English Compound Noun Interpretation Using A Lexical Database" Dermot McLoughlin, 1999.
