In 2015/16, we extended this work to cover twelve languages, as reported in the LREC 2016 paper: (NAACL HLT 2015), Denver, Colorado, United States, pp. In proceedings of the 2015 Conference of the North American Chapter of theĪssociation for Computational Linguistics - Human Language Technologies (2015).ĭevelopment of the multilingual semantic annotation system.

The Java software framework is no longer being supported, but many of the taggers for languages listed belowĪre now available in the open source pymusas tagger. Due to the inevitable ambiguity of translations and part-of-speechĬorrespondence across and between languages, the automatically translated lexicons contain errors, which need to be cleaned manually.

Lexicon entries, with some manual improvement where possible. Modified to accommodate these languages, and semantic lexicons were compiled for them by automatically 'translating' the English semantic The Java software framework developed in the Benedict and ASSIST projects was To cover many more languages including: Chinese, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Malay. Multilingual extension of Semantic Tagger Framework for other languagesįollowing the research in the Benedict project to extend the system to Finnish,Īnd that in the ASSIST project for Russian, beginning in 2013, the USAS framework was extended

Now on-line, along with those for the Louw-Nida modelĪnd the Hallig/Von Wartburg/Schmidt/Wilson Model.

We also have a list of the full descriptive labels of the semantic subcategories.Ī visual representation showing the USAS tagset heirarchy is With examples of prototypical words and multi-word units in each semantic field. We have written an introduction to the USAS category system (PDF file) It has a multi-tier structure with 21 major discourse fields (shown here on the right), subdivided,Īnd with the possibility of further fine-grained subdivision inĬertain cases. The semantic tagset used by USAS was originally loosely based on Tom McArthur's Longman Pymusas is an open source version of the semantic tagger under development from 2021 onwardsĪnd full details of the progress, methods and usage can be seen in the GitHub repository.Ĭurrently, the English and Spanish taggers are also available in Wmatrix. Subsequent versions of the multilingual semantic tagger have been created in Java by Scott Piao, Originally developed in C for English only by Paul Rayson, Together various pointers to those projects and publications produced The framework has been designedĪnd used across a number of research projects and this page collects
