Abstract

This short paper describes the use of the linguistic annotation available in parallel PropBanks (Chinese and English) for the enhancement of automatically derived word alignments. Specifically, we suggest ways to refine and expand word alignments for verb-predicates by using predicate-argument structures. Evaluations demonstrate improved alignment accuracies that vary by corpus type.
