HowNet and Its Computation of Meaning
نویسندگان
چکیده
The presentation will mainly cover (1) What is HowNet? HowNet is an on-line common-sense knowledgebase unveiling inter-conceptual relationships and interattribute relationships of concepts as connoting in lexicons of the Chinese and their English equivalents. (2) How it functions in the computation of meaning and as a NLP platform? The presentation will show 9 HowNet-based application tools. All of them are not merely demonstration of some methodology or algorithm, but are real application tools that can be tested by users themselves. Apart from the tools that are specially designed to deal with Chinese, most of the tools are bilingual, even the WSD tool.

Annotating Information Structures In Chinese Texts Using HowNet
This paper reported our work on annotating Chinese texts with information structures derived from HowNet. An information structure consists of two components: HowNet definitions and dependency relations. It is the unit of representation of the meaning of texts. This work is part of a multi-sentential approach to Chinese text understanding. An overview of HowNet and information structure are des...
متن کاملA Word Similarity Algorithm with Sememe Probability Density Ratio Based on HowNet
The study on word similarity computation plays an important role in natural language processing (NLP). Recently the algorithm based on HowNet is widely used and proves to work well in Chinese word similarity computation. However, the relationship between the number of brother nodes and the fineness of the hierarchy is not considered. This paper investigates the ratio of two words on the brother...
متن کاملKnowledge Representation and Sense Disambiguation for Interrogatives in E-HowNet
In order to train machines to ‘understand’ natural language, we propose a meaning representation mechanism called E-HowNet to encode lexical senses. In this paper, we take interrogatives as examples to demonstrate the mechanisms of semantic representation and composition of interrogative constructions under the framework of E-HowNet. We classify the interrogative words into five classes accordi...
متن کاملA Maximum Entropy Approach To HowNet-Based Chinese Word Sense Disambiguation
This paper presents a maximum entropy method for the disambiguation of word senses as defined in HowNet. With the release of this bilingual (Chinese and English) knowledge base in 1999, a corpus of 30,000 words was sense tagged and released in January 2002. Concepts meanings in HowNet are constructed by a closed set of sememes, the smallest meaning units, which can be treated as semantic tags. ...
متن کاملAnalogy Generation with HowNet
Analogy is a powerful boundary-transcending process that exploits a conceptual system's ability to perform controlled generalization in one domain and re-specialization into another. The result of this semantic leap is the transference of meaning from one concept to another from which metaphor derives its name (literally: to carry over). Such generalization and re-specialization can be achieved...
