Extraction of Attribute Concepts from Japanese Adjectives
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe various syntactic and semantic conditions for finding abstract nouns which refer to concepts of adjectives from a text, in an attempt to explore the creation of a thesaurus from text. Depending on usages, six kinds of syntactic patterns are shown. In the syntactic and semantic conditions an omission of an abstract noun is mainly used, but in addition, various linguistic clues are needed. We then compare our results with synsets of Japanese WordNet. From a viewpoint of Japanese WordNet, the degree of agreement of “Attribute” between our data and Japanese WordNet was 22%. On the other hand, the total number of differences of obtained abstract nouns was 267. From a viewpoint of our data, the degree of agreement of abstract nouns between our data and Japanese WordNet was 54%.

From Adjective Glosses to Attribute Concepts: Learning Different Aspects That an Adjective Can Describe
Adjectives are one of the major contributors to conveying subjective meaning to sentences. Understanding the semantics of adjectives is essential for understanding natural language sentences. In this paper we propose a novel approach for learning different properties that an adjective can describe, corresponding to the ‘attribute concepts’, which is not currently available in existing linguisti...
متن کاملSelf-organizing Conceptual Map and Taxonomy of Adjectives
This paper presents a comprehensive, corpus-based study of adjectival concepts. An adjectival concept is a semantic class of adjectives, for example, “adjectives which express feeling”. We represent adjectival concepts by abstract nouns (such as “feeling”), and extract instances where abstract nouns are modified by adjectives (such as “happy feeling”) from a large corpus of Japanese newspaper a...
متن کاملExtraction of Associative Attributes from Nouns and Quantitative Expression of Prototype Concept
One of the purposes of this research is to formalize similarity among nouns by using attributes associated from the nouns, and then using the similarity, to formalize prototypes of categories. The other purpose is to extract features of nouns by using adjectives or adjective-like words obtained by the association experiments and to formalize importance of the nouns with the words. We constructe...
متن کاملRevealing Dimensions of Thinking in Open-Ended Self-Descriptions: An Automated Meaning Extraction Method for Natural Language.
A new method for extracting common themes from written text is introduced and applied to 1,165 open-ended self-descriptive narratives. Drawing on a lexical approach to personality, the most commonly-used adjectives within narratives written by college students were identified using computerized text analytic tools. A factor analysis on the use of these adjectives in the self-descriptions produc...
متن کاملPredicative Adjectives: An Unsupervised Criterion to Extract Subjective Adjectives
We examine predicative adjectives as an unsupervised criterion to extract subjective adjectives. We do not only compare this criterion with a weakly supervised extraction method but also with gradable adjectives, i.e. another highly subjective subset of adjectives that can be extracted in an unsupervised fashion. In order to prove the robustness of this extraction method, we will evaluate the e...
