Knowledge-free Learning of lexical hierarchical paradigmatic relations

This paper represents an attempt at translating statistical methods and properties of rankings in a vector space model into an algorithm that extracts hierarchical paradigmatic relations such as hyperonymy and meronymy. The algorithm is based on simulating semantic similarity through co-occurrence statistics as well as observing symmetry in similarity rankings. A preliminary evaluation based on...

Automatic Acquisition of Paradigmatic Relations Using Iterated Co-occurrences

We introduce the notion of iterated co-occurrences, which can be obtained by performing the calculation of statistically significant cooccurrences not on sentence level, but on co-occurrence sets of previous calculations. The underlying mechanisms are explained in detail and we give reasons, why this iteration results in sets of semantically homogeneous words. These can be used for the automati...

Paradigmatic relations and semantic information in MTT: some questions

This paper raises and discusses three questions about the structure of Meaning-Text Theory, based on consideration of the role that paradigmatic Lexical Functions play in its model of the lexicon: Is the paradigmatic-syntagmatic distinction meaningful? Do paradigmatic LFs represent redundant semantic information (and if so, is the redundancy justified)? And finally, might definitions of lexemes...

Paradigmatic and Syntagmatic Relations in Knowledge Organization Systems

Most methods used in knowledge organization systems (KOS) organize knowledge in form of concepts and the relations between them, though the level of differentiating relations varies. Major knowledge representation methods make some of the relations explicit, but they use only a small number of paradigmatic semantic relations so far. This approach is somewhat contrary to the detailed and highly-...
