| Description | The paper presents a supervised approach to semantic parsing, based on a new semantic resource, the Pattern Dictionary of English Verbs (PDEV). PDEV lists the most frequent patterns of English verbs identified in corpus. Each argument in a pattern is semantically categorized with semantic types from the PDEV ontology. Each pattern is linked to a set of sentences from the British National Corpus. The article describes PDEV in details and presents the task of pattern classification. The system described is based on a distributional approach, and achieves 66% in Micro-average F1 across a sample of 25 of the most frequent verbs. |
