note allolex <p> I myself am interested in semantic/knowledge extraction, association, and representation. I really like the idea of concept indexing and even though there is a practical side to all of this as well, I was thinking of the value of such research to large-scale socio-psychological research where accurate generalizations of individual behavior within a group take center stage. </p> <p> We're working on collocation extraction for a [http://www.uni-koeln.de/phil-fak/roman/home/blumenthal/colloc.html|French dictionary] we are building. I plan on using part of our corpus for categorizing lexemes according to an ontology I plan to extract from a broader range of corpora--basically using pre-existing encyclopedic knowledge to build an ontology instead of creating the ontology beforehand. I plan to use XML [http://www.gca.org/papers/xmleurope2000/papers/s11-01.html|topic maps] to do this. (I'm not even vaguely close to an implementation.) </p> <p> --<br> Allolex </p> 255595 255809
