Bring vs. MTRoget: Evaluating automatic thesaurus translation
Evaluation of automatic language-independent methods for language technology resource creation is difficult, and confounded by a largely unknown quantity, viz. to what extent typological differences among languages are significant for results achieved for one language or language pair to be applicable across languages generally. In the work presented here, as a simplifying assumption, language-independence is taken as axiomatic within certain specified bounds. We evaluate the automatic translation of Roget{'}s {`}Thesaurus{''} from English into Swedish using an independently compiled Roget-style Swedish thesaurus, S.C. Bring{'}s {`}Swedish vocabulary arranged into conceptual classes{''} (1930). Our expectation is that this explicit evaluation of one of the thesaureses created in the MTRoget project will provide a good estimate of the quality of the other thesauruses created using similar methods.

Distributional Thesauri for Information Retrieval and vice versa
Distributional thesauri are useful in many tasks of Natural Language Processing. In this paper, we address the problem of building and evaluating such thesauri with the help of Information Retrieval (IR) concepts. Two ma…
Information RetrievalRetrievalA New Approach for Semi-automatic Building and Extending a Multilingual Terminology Thesaurus
This paper describes a new system for semi-automatically building, extending and managing a terminological thesaurus---a multilingual terminology dictionary enriched with relationships between the terms themselves to for…
Direct vs. indirect evaluation of distributional thesauri
With the success of word embedding methods in various Natural Language Processing tasks, all the field of distributional semantics has experienced a renewed interest. Beside the famous word2vec, recent studies have prese…

Bring{'}s thesaurus (Bring) is a Swedish counterpart of Roget, and its digitized version could make a valuable language resource for use in many and diverse natural language processing (NLP) applications. From the litera…
LEMMAPOSTowards Automatic Thesaurus Construction and Enrichment.
Thesaurus construction with minimum human efforts often relies on automatic methods to discover terms and their relations. Hence, the quality of a thesaurus heavily depends on the chosen methodologies for: (i) building i…
