RUI: English/French Computational Lexicography

该奖项支持计算词典编纂方面的一个项目，该项目是瓦萨计算机科学部和法国马赛国家科学研究中心(CNRS)的GRTC代表和共生组织(GRTC)的国际合作努力。该项目涉及从英语和法语的机器可读材料中建立一个大规模的词汇和文本数据库，目的是提取可用于自动语言处理任务的信息。该项目购置了一些英文和法文的机器可读材料，包括排字格式的词典以及语料库和其他语言数据，并在每个地点安装了这些材料。正在开发软件工具来组织、访问和分析这些数据。该项目涉及将机器可读词典和其他语言数据组织到一个一致的词汇数据库中，并从这些数据中提取词汇知识，用于自然语言理解和翻译。

This award supports a project in computational lexicography which is an international collaborative effort of Vassar's Computers Science Department and the Groupe Representation et Traitement des Connaissances (GRTC) of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in Marseille, France. The project involves the construction of a large-scale lexical and textual database from machine readable materials in English and French, with the goal of extracting information that can be used for automatic language processing tasks. A number of machine-readable materials in English and French, including dictionaries in typesetter's format but also corpora and other linguistic data, have been acquired by the project and installed at each site. Software tools are being developed to structure, access, and analyze these data. The project involves the structuring of machine readable dictionaries and other linguistic data into a consistent lexical database, and the extraction of lexical knowledge from these data for use in natural language understanding and translation.
