Automatic Extraction of Lexical Relations from Chinese Machine Readable Dictionary

paper, we describe an automated system, which is designed to enhance the discovery of lexical relations in the Chinese language and construct a richly structured network labelled with lexical relations. Lexical relations are very important for NLP. Most previous work to get them is done by hand. In this paper, we describe an automated strategy which exploits a machine readable dictionary (MRD) ...
