چکیده

In this paper, we outline the development of a system that automatically constructs ontologies by extracting knowledge from dictionary definition sentences using Robust Minimal Recursion Semantics (RMRS), a semantic formalism that permits underspecification. We show that by combining deep and shallow parsing resources through the common formalism of RMRS, we can extract ontological relations in greater quality and quantity. Our approach also has the advantages of requiring a very small amount of rules and being easily adaptable to any language with RMRS resources.

Building Manipuri-English Machine Readable Dictionary by Implementing Ontology

Any system that hopes to process natural languages as people do must have information about words, their meaning, concept, relative words in another language and meaningful sentences are composed of meaningful words. Traditionally information is provided through electronic dictionaries. But these dictionary entries evolved for the convenience of human readers, not for machines. So, machine read...

Domain-Specific Knowledge Acquisition and Classification Using WordNet

For many knowledge intensive applications, it is necessary to have extensive domain-specific knowledge in addition to general-purpose knowledge bases usually built around Machine Readable Dictionaries. This paper presents a methodology for acquiring domain specific knowledge from text and classifying the concepts learned into an ontology that extends WordNet. The method was tested for three see...

Extraction of Semantic Clusters for Terminological Information Retrieval from MRDs

This paper describes a semantic clustering method for data extracted from machine readable dictionaries (MRDs) in order to build a terminological information retrieval system that finds terms from descriptions of concepts. We first examine approaches based on ontologies and statistics, before introducing our analogy-based approach that lets us extract semantic clusters by aligning definitions f...

Monolingual and bilingual dictionary approaches to the enrichment of the Spanish WordNet with adjectives

We report on two different approaches to the incorporation of adjectives in Spanish WordNet based on automatic extraction techniques using EuroWordNet and machine-readable dictionaries. We show that a monolingual dictionary approach enables to exploit relations between different parts of speech and enrich the internal structure of the Spanish WordNet, while the methods based on bilingual dictio...
