Hypernyms

Previous work has shown that automatic methods can be used in building semantic lexicons. This work goes a step further by automatically creating not just clusters of related words, but …...

This paper investigates the task of noun compound interpretation, building on the sense collocation approach proposed by Moldovan et al. (2004). Our primary task is to evaluate the impact of …...

AbstractThis paper presents and analyzes an annotated corpus of definitions, created to train an algorithm for the automatic extraction of definitions and hypernyms from web documents. As an additional resource, …...

. In this paper we propose an approach for automatic construction of concept hier- archies from the snippets returned by Internet search engines using a number of well known techniques. …...

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to identify automatically hypernyms for dictionary entries by exploring their definitions. In order to do this, we propose a weighting methodology that lets us …...

We consider the task of predicting lexical entailment using distributional vectors. We perform a novel qualitative analysis of one existing model which was previously shown to only measure the prototypicality …...

We present a system for taxonomy construc- tion that reached the first place in all sub- tasks of the SemEval 2016 challenge on Tax- onomy Extraction Evaluation. Our simple yet …...

In this paper, we show how distributionally-induced semantic classes can be helpful for extracting hypernyms. We present methods for inducing sense-aware semantic classes using distributional semantics and using these induced …...
