We describe a cross-lingual method for the induction of selectional preferences for resourcepoor languages, where no accurate monolingual models are available. The method uses bil...
Concept Search extends syntactic search, i.e., search based on the computation of string similarity between words, with semantic search, i.e., search based on the computation of s...
