Building A Hyponymy Lexicon With Hierarchical Structure
نویسنده
چکیده
Many lexical semantic relations, such as the hyponymy relation, can be extracted from text as they occur in detectable syntactic constructions. This paper shows how a hypernym-hyponym based lexicon for Swedish can be created directly from a news paper corpus. An algorithm is presented for building partial hierarchical structures from non domain-specific texts.

Initial Steps for Building a Lexicon of Adjectives with Scalemates
This paper describes work in progress to use clustering to create a lexicon of words that engage in the lexico-semantic relationship known as grading. While other resources like thesauri and taxonomies exist detailing relationships such as synonymy, antonymy, and hyponymy, we do not know of any thorough resource for grading. This work focuses on identifying the words that may participate in thi...
متن کاملThe Automatic Mapping of Princeton WordNet Lexical-Conceptual Relations onto the Brazilian Portuguese WordNet Database
Princeton WordNet (WN.Pr) lexical database has motivated efficient compilations of bulky relational lexicons since its inception in the 1980 ́s. The EuroWordNet project, the first multilingual initiative built upon WN.Pr, opened up ways of building individual wordnets, and interrelating them by means of the so-called Inter-Lingual-Index, an unstructured list of the WN.Pr synsets. Other important...

As part of a project to construct an interactive program which will encourage children to play with language by building jokes, we have developed a large lexical database, closely based on WordNet. As well as the standard WordNet information about part of speech, synonymy, hyponymy, etc, we have added phonetic representations and symbolic links allowing attachment of pictures. All information i...
متن کاملModels of EFL Learners’ Vocabulary Development: Spreading Activation vs. Hierarchical Network Model
Semantic network approaches view organization or representation of internal lexicon in the form of either spreading or hierarchical system identified, respectively, as Spreading Activation Model (SAM) and Hi- erarchical Network Model (HNM). However, the validity of either model is amongst the intact issues in the literature which can be studied through basing the instruction compatible wi...
متن کاملHacking Wikipedia for Hyponymy Relation Acquisition
This paper describes a method for extracting a large set of hyponymy relations from Wikipedia. The Wikipedia is much more consistently structured than generic HTML documents, and we can extract a large number of hyponymy relations with simple methods. In this work, we managed to extract more than 1.4 × 106 hyponymy relations with 75.3% precision from the Japanese version of the Wikipedia. To th...
