Introducing Lexical Masks: a New Representation of Lexical Entries for Better Evaluation and Exchange of Lexicons

The evaluation and exchange of large lexicon databases remains a challenge in many NLP applications. Despite the existence of commonly accepted standards for the format and the features used in a lexicon, there is still a lack of precise and interoperable specification requirements about how lexical entries of a particular language should look like, both in terms of the numbers of forms and in terms of features associated with these forms. This paper presents the notion of {``}lexical masks{''}, a powerful tool used to evaluate and exchange lexicon databases in many languages.
