Title Methods for quality assurance in semi-automatic lexicon acquisition from corpora
Abstract This paper presents linguistics-based methods and engineering methods for quality assurance in semi-automatic acquisition of broad coverage lexicons from corpora. Automated linguistic tests are used to acquire candidates for particular subcategorization frames automatically; the regular use of metrics in the acquisition process contributes to a controlled development of these tests. The proposed methods are illustrated by the acquisition of a particular class of verbs taking daß-clauses in German, showing how the precision of the automatically acquired data can be maximized with only a slight decrease in recall.
