Abstract
WordNet predicates (WN-PREDS) establish relations between words in a certain language and concepts of a language independent ontology. In this paper we show how WN-PREDS can be profitably used in the context of multilingual tasks where two or more wordnets are aligned. Specifically, we report about the extension to Italian of a previously developed Named Entity Recognition (NER) system for written English. Experimental results demonstrate the validity of the approach and confirm the suitability of WN-PREDS for a number of different NLP tasks.

It is shown that, for the text type and task of this competition, it is sufficient to use relatively small gazetteers of well-known names, rather than large gazetters of low-frequency names.

This paper describes the upperlevel ontology SUMO (Suggested Upper Merged Ontology), which has been proposed as the initial version of an eventual Standard Upper Ontology (SUO), and describes the popular, free, and structured WordNet lexical database.

H. pylori infects at least 15% of Jordanian children, suggesting a significant drop in infection rates in this group, and larger-scale studies combined with clinical evaluations will be important for further understanding the reasons for the observed decrease.
