Abstract

This paper investigates how to extend coverage of a domain independent lexicon tailored for natural language understanding. We introduce two algorithms for adding lexical entries from VerbNet to the lexicon of the Trips spoken dialogue system. We report results on the efficiency of the method, discussing in particular precision versus coverage issues and implications for mapping to other lexical databases.
