ParaDi: Dictionary of Paraphrases of Czech Complex Predicates with Light Verbs

Publication at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |
2017

Abstract

We present a new freely available dictionary of paraphrases of Czech complex predicates with light verbs, ParaDi. Candidates for single predicative paraphrases of selected complex predicates have been extracted automatically from large mono-lingual data using word2vec.

They have been manually verified and further refined. We demonstrate one of many possible applications of ParaDi in an experiment with improving machine translation quality.
