Title: Man-assisted machine construction of a semantic dictionary for natural language processing
Abstract: This is a report on the semantic dictionary for natural language processing we are constructing now. This paper explains how to obtain the semantic information for the dictionary from an ordinary Japanese language dictionary with about 60,000 items (which had already been put into machine readable form) and also explains what should be the frame for the representation of meaning of each item (word). Then a man-assisted machine procedure that embeds the semantic graph with respect to the head word of the ordinary dictionary into the frame of a head word is discussed.
