  abstract  = {In this paper, we investigate the annotation projection of semantic units in a
	practical setting. Previous approaches have focused on using parallel corpora
	for semantic transfer. We evaluate an alternative approach using loosely
	parallel corpora that does not require the corpora to be exact translations of
	each other. We developed a method that transfers semantic annotations from one
	language to another using sentences aligned by entities, and we extended it to
	include alignments by entity-like linguistic units. We conducted our
	experiments on a large scale using the English, Swedish, and French language
	editions of Wikipedia. Our results show that the annotation projection using
	entities in combination with loosely parallel corpora provides a viable
	approach to extending previous attempts. In addition, it allows the generation
	of proposition banks upon which semantic parsers can be trained.},
