Abstract

This short paper presents a system developed at the Université Paris 13 for the Semeval 2007 Metonymy Resolution Task (task #08, location name track; see Markert and Nissim, 2007). The system makes use of plain word forms only. In this paper, we evaluate the accuracy of this minimalist approach, compare it to a more complex one which uses both syntactic and semantic features, and discuss its usefulness for metonymy resolution in general.
