Evaluating ImagAct-WordNet mapping for English and Italian through videos

In this paper we present the results of the evaluation of an automatic mapping between two lexical resources, WordNet/ItalWordNet and ImagAct, a conceptual ontology of action types instantiated by video scenes. Results are compared with those obtained from a previous experiment performed only on Italian data. Differences between the two evaluation strategies, as well as between the quality of the mappings for the two languages considered in this paper, are iscussed.
