For most natural language analysis systems, one of the major hurdles in porting the system to a new domain is the development of an appropriate set of semantic patterns. Such patterns are typically needed to guide syntactic analysis (as selectional constraints) and to control the translation into a predicate-argument representation. As systems are ported to more complex domains, the set of patterns grows and the task of accumulating them manually becomes more formidable. There has therefore been increasing interest in acquiring such patterns automatically froin a sample of text in the domain, through an analysis of word co-occurrence patterns either in raw text (word sequences) or in parsed text. We briefly review some of this work later in the article. We have been specificaily concerned about the practicality of using such techniques in place of manual encoding to develop the selectional patterns for new domains. In the experiments reported here, we have therefore been particularly concerned with the evaluation of our automatically generated patterns, in terms of their completehess and accuracy and in terms of their efficacy in performing selection during parsing.
