TL;DR: Dans cet article, nous identifions les raisons de cette lacune and nous proposons une méthode de conversion des tables vers un format mieux approprié au traitement automatique des langues.
Abstract: Maurice Gross' grammar lexicon contains rich and exhaustive information about the morphosyntactic and syntactic properties of French syntactic functors (verbs, adjectives, nouns). Yet its use within natural language processing systems is hampered both by its non standard encoding and by a structure that is partly implicit and partly underspecified. In this paper, we present a method for translating this information into a format more amenable for use by NLP systems, we discuss the results obtained so far, we compare our approach with related work and we identify the possible further uses that can be made of the reformatted information.

TL;DR: A fine grained classification of english adjectives geared at modeling the distinct inference patterns licensed by each adjective class is proposed and implemented using Description logic as a semantic representation language and the prediction verified using the DL theorem prover Racer.
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a fine grained classification of english adjectives geared at modeling the distinct inference patterns licensed by each adjective class. We show how it can be implemented in description logic and illustrate the predictions made by a series of examples. The proposal has been implemented using Description logic as a semantic representation language and the prediction verified using the DL theorem prover Racer.

TL;DR: XMG (eXtensible Meta-Grammar) provides a sophisticated treatment of identifiers which is effective in supporting a linguist-friendly grammar design.
Abstract: We claim that existing specification languages for tree based grammars fail to adequately support identifier managment. We then show that XMG (eXtensible Meta-Grammar) provides a sophisticated treatment of identifiers which is effective in supporting a linguist-friendly grammar design.

TL;DR: SemTAG is a toolbox for TAG-based parsing and generation that supports the development of wide-coverage grammars and differs from existing environments for TAG such as XTAG, in that it includes a semantic dimension.
Abstract: In this paper, we introduce SemTAG, a toolbox for TAG-based parsing and generation. This environment supports the development of wide-coverage grammars and differs from existing environments for TAG such as XTAG, in that it includes a semantic dimension. SemTAG is open-source and freely available.

TL;DR: This paper argues that TAG naturally supports the integration of three main ways of reducing complexity: polarity filtering, delayed adjunction and empty semantic items elimination and presents some preliminary results of the TAG-based surface realiser GenI.
Abstract: Surface realisation from flat semantic formulae is known to be exponential in the length of the input. In this paper, we argue that TAG naturally supports the integration of three main ways of reducing complexity: polarity filtering, delayed adjunction and empty semantic items elimination. We support these claims by presenting some preliminary results of the TAG-based surface realiser GenI.
