Abstract

The work presented here depicts experiments toward the automatic classification of complex-type nominals using distributional information. We conducted two experiments: classifying complex-type nominals as members of multiple individual lexical classes, and building a dedicated classifier for complex-type nominals, distinguishing them from simple types. We discuss the promising results obtained, with a focus on asymmetries observed and on lines to be explored in the future.
