Learning and Evaluating the Content and Structure of a Term Taxonomy

In this paper, we describe a weakly supervised bootstraping algorithm that reads Web texts and learns taxonomy terms. The bootstrapping algorithm starts with two seed words (a seed hypernym (Root concept) and a seed hyponym) that are inserted into a doubly anchored hyponym pattern. In alternating rounds, the algorithm learns new hyponym terms and new hypernym terms that are subordinate to the R...

Learning by Reading: Normalizing Complex Linguistic Structures onto a Knowledge Representation

To make learning by reading easier, one strategy is to map language that is read onto a normalized knowledge representation. The normalization maps alternative expressions of the same content onto essentially identical representations. This brief position paper illustrates the power of this approach in PARC’s Bridge system through examples of textual inference.
