Deftor at SemEval-2016 Task 14: Taxonomy enrichment using definition vectors
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe the participation of the Joint Research Centre, EC, in task 14 Semantic Taxonomy Enrichment at SemEval 2016. The algorithm which we propose transforms each candidate definition into a term vector, where each dimension represents a term and its value is calculated by TF.IDF. We attach the candidate term as a hyponym to the WordNet synset with the most similar definition. The results we obtained are encouraging, considering the simplicity of our approach. The obtained F measure is below the average, but above one of the baselines.

VCU at Semeval-2016 Task 14: Evaluating definitional-based similarity measure for semantic taxonomy enrichment
This paper describes the VCU systems that participated in the Semantic Taxonomy Enrichment task of SemEval 2016. The three systems are unsupervised and relied on dictionary-based similarity measures. The first two runs used first-order measures (Lesk and First-order vector), and the third run used a second-order measure (Second-order vector). The first-order measures obtained a higher Wu & Palm...

This paper describes the participation of the TALN team in SemEval-2016 Task 14: Semantic Taxonomy Enrichment. The purpose of the task is to find the best point of attachment in WordNet for a set of Out of Vocabulary (OOV) terms. These may come, to name a few, from domain specific glossaries, slang or typical jargon from Internet forums and chatrooms. Our contribution takes as input an OOV term...
متن کاملSemEval-2016 Task 14: Semantic Taxonomy Enrichment
Manually constructed taxonomies provide a crucial resource for many NLP technologies, yet these resources are often limited in their lexical coverage due to their construction procedure. While multiple approaches have been proposed to enrich such taxonomies with new concepts, these techniques are typically evaluated by measuring the accuracy at identifying relationships between words, e.g., tha...
متن کاملMSejrKu at SemEval-2016 Task 14: Taxonomy Enrichment by Evidence Ranking
Automatic enrichment of semantic taxonomies with novel data is a relatively unexplored task with potential benefits in a broad array of natural language processing problems. Task 14 of SemEval 2016 poses the challenge of designing systems for this task. In this paper, we describe and evaluate several machine learning systems constructed for our participation in the competition. We demonstrate a...
