TL;DR

This paper presents a corpus-based method to enrich GermaNet's verb frames with domain-specific syntactic and co-occurrence data, enhancing its applicability in processing German forensic autopsy protocols.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach for domain-specific enrichment of GermaNet verb frames using real document data analysis.

Findings

Enhanced GermaNet verb frames for forensic domain

Improved accuracy in syntactic analysis of German texts

Demonstrated applicability in forensic document processing

Abstract

Lexical semantic resources, like WordNet, are often used in real applications of natural language document processing. For example, we integrated GermaNet in our document suite XDOC of processing of German forensic autopsy protocols. In addition to the hypernymy and synonymy relation, we want to adapt GermaNet's verb frames for our analysis. In this paper we outline an approach for the domain related enrichment of GermaNet verb frames by corpus based syntactic and co-occurred data analyses of real documents.
