This paper presents SemFrame, a system that induces frame semantic verb classes from WordNet and LDOCE. Semantic frames are thought to have significant potential in resolving the paraphrase problem challenging many languagebased applications. When compared to the handcrafted FrameNet, SemFrame achieves its best recall-precision balance with recall (based on SemFrame's coverage of FrameNet frames) and precision (based on SemFrame verbs’ semantic relatedness to frame-evoking verbs). The next best performing semantic verb classes achieve recall and precision. .
