Conversion of Lexicon-Grammar tables to LMF. Application to French

arXiv cs.CL Papers

Summary

Describes the conversion of French verb Lexicon-Grammar tables into the LMF format, enhancing interoperability and standardization for NLP dictionaries.

arXiv:2605.14816v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We describe the first experiment of conversion of Lexicon-Grammar tables for French verbs into the Lexical Markup Framework (LMF) format. The Lexicon-Grammar of the French language is currently one of the major sources of lexical and syntactic information for French. Its conversion into an interoperable representation format according to the LMF standard makes it usable in different contexts, thus contributing to the standardization and interoperability of natural language processing dictionaries. We briefly introduce the Lexicon-Grammar and the derived dictionaries; we analyse the main difficulties faced during the conversion; and we describe the resulting resource.

On the Use of LLMs for Specialised Terminology: A Good Alternative to Corpora?

arXiv cs.AI

This study evaluates four proprietary LLMs (GPT-4o, GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4.5, DeepSeek) for specialized terminology translation from English to French across two domains, comparing prompting strategies. Results show Claude Sonnet 4.5 performs best, but LLMs cannot yet replace specialized corpora.
