Automatic Retrieval and Clustering of Similar Words

چکیده

Bootstrapping semantics from text is one of the greatest challenges in natural language learning. We first define a word similarity measure based on the distributional pattern of words. The similarity measure allows us to construct a thesaurus using a parsed corpus. We then present a new evaluation methodology for the automatically constructed thesaurus. The evaluation results show that the thesaurus is significantly closer to WordNet than Roget Thesaurus is.

Clustering of nasopharyngeal carcinoma intensity modulated radiation therapy plans based on k-means algorithm and geometrical features

Background: The design of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans is difficult and time-consuming. The retrieval of similar IMRT plans from the IMRT plan dataset can effectively improve the quality and efficiency of IMRT plans and automate the design of IMRT planning. However, the large IMRT plans datasets will bring inefficient retrieval result. Materials and Methods: An intensity-m...

Improving Context Vector Models by Feature Clustering for Automatic Thesaurus Construction

Thesauruses are useful resources for NLP; however, manual construction of thesaurus is time consuming and suffers low coverage. Automatic thesaurus construction is developed to solve the problem. Conventional way to automatically construct thesaurus is by finding similar words based on context vector models and then organizing similar words into thesaurus structure. But the context vector metho...

Double Clustering in Latent Semantic Indexing

Document clustering is a widely researched area of information retrieval. The large amount of documents which must be handled needs automatic organizing. A popular approach to clustering documents and messages is the vector space model, which represents texts with feature vectors, usually generated from the set of terms contained in the message. The clustering based on the document-term frequen...
