Abstract

We discuss a method for using automated corpus analysis to acquire word sense information for multilingual text interpretation. Our system, SHOGUN, extracts data from news stories with broad coverage in Japanese and English. Our approach focuses on tying together word senses, using a combination of world knowledge (oatlogy) with word knowledge (corpus data). We explain the approach and its results in SHOGUN.
