SIMuLLDA, THE HUB-AND-SPOKE MODEL AND FRAMES OR HOW TO MAKE THE BEST OF THREE WORLDS?

This article consists of three parts. First of all it briefly presents the Hub-and-Spoke Model. This model has been introduced by Martin in 1996 and further developed in the course of time with the aim to derive bilingual dictionaries out of monolingual ones in a cost-effective way. (Spoke) Languages therefore are not linked directly to each other but via a hub language. Important in this model is the level of linking, the linking rules (of spoke-to-hub) and the derivation rules (of spoke-to-spoke via the hub). In a second instance the difficulties of SIMuLLDA with regard to scaling up the system and transforming natural language definitions into formal expressions are discussed. In a final section frames are proposed as a solution to make both the Hub-and-Spoke approach and SIMuLLDA better.
