IMAGACT (2010-2013)
http://lablita.dit.unifi.it/projects/IMAGACT/index_html/en
IMAGACT aims to set up an infrastructure that can strongly reduce the present theoretical limits to Natural Language Understanding for what regards the reference to action at both intra and cross linguistic levels, providing an Cross-linguistic Action Ontology which specify in unambiguous manner the range of ontological variation of action verbs in different languages, so allowing their productive translation. The information concerning the relationship among actions as ontological entities and their cross-linguistic lexical encoding can be derived from available resources. Spontaneous Speech Corpora contain a reference to the more frequent actions in everyday life and their lexical encoding. The actions that are more frequently performed in our everyday environment can be identified by observing the reference of high frequency verbs in spontaneous speech corpora.
Funding: Regione Toscana PAR/FAS
My role: I was attached to the ILC-CNR research unit and helped develop and validate the Italian resource.
GLOSS (2010-2013)
