The proposed internship will take place in the framework of the PARSEME-FR project, which aims at investigating links between multiword expression (MWE) identification and syntactic-semantic analysis. MWEs, such as hot dog, hard disk, kick the bucket, United Nations and pay attention, are groups of words which exhibit unpredicted properties. Most prominently, their meaning does not straightforwardly derive from the meanings of their components. For this reason they pose major challenges to automatic text processing and have to be explicitly described in a lexicon.
One of the objectives of the PARSEME-FR project is to build both a comprehensive MWE lexicon including fine-grained linguistic information and a MWE-annotated corpus in French. One of the most notable outcomes so far is the annotation of the French dataset (Candito et al. 2017) for the PARSEME Shared Task on verbal multiword expression identification (Savary et al. 2017).
The two resources aims not only at being used for natural language applications, such as syntactic and semantic analysis, but also at exploring them for linguistic studies.
L’objectif principal du stage est de développer des outils pour lier et explorer le corpus annoté et le lexique, construits dans le projet PARSEME-FR. Le travail à réaliser comportera les tâches suivantes:
