SemEval-2012 Task 2: Measuring Degrees of Relational Similarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Up to now, work on semantic relations has focused on relation classification: recognizing whether a given instance (a word pair such as virus:flu) belongs to a specific relation class (such as CAUSE:EFFECT). However, instances of a single relation class may still have significant variability in how characteristic they are of that class. We present a new SemEval task based on identifying the degree of prototypicality for instances within a given class. As a part of the task, we have assembled the first dataset of graded relational similarity ratings across 79 relation categories. Three teams submitted six systems, which were evaluated using two methods.

Duluth : Measuring Degrees of Relational Similarity with the Gloss Vector Measure of Semantic Relatedness
This paper describes the Duluth systems that participated in Task 2 of SemEval–2012. These systems were unsupervised and relied on variations of the Gloss Vector measure found in the freely available software package WordNet::Similarity. This method was moderately successful for the Class-Inclusion, Similar, Contrast, and Non-Attribute categories of semantic relations, but mimicked a random bas...
متن کاملUTD: Determining Relational Similarity Using Lexical Patterns
In this paper we present our approach for assigning degrees of relational similarity to pairs of words in the SemEval-2012 Task 2. To measure relational similarity we employed lexical patterns that can match against word pairs within a large corpus of 12 million documents. Patterns are weighted by obtaining statistically estimated lower bounds on their precision for extracting word pairs from a...
متن کاملBUAP: A First Approximation to Relational Similarity Measuring
We describe a system proposed for measuring the degree of relational similarity beetwen a pair of words at the Task #2 of Semeval 2012. The approach presented is based on a vectorial representation using the following features: i) the context surrounding the words with a windows size = 3, ii) knowledge extracted from WordNet to discover several semantic relationships, such as meronymy, hyponymy...
متن کاملDistributional semantics beyond words: Supervised learning of analogy and paraphrase
There have been several efforts to extend distributional semantics beyond individual words, to measure the similarity of word pairs, phrases, and sentences (briefly, tuples; ordered sets of words, contiguous or noncontiguous). One way to extend beyond words is to compare two tuples using a function that combines pairwise similarities between the component words in the tuples. A strength of this...
متن کاملCombining Heterogeneous Models for Measuring Relational Similarity
In this work, we study the problem of measuring relational similarity between two word pairs (e.g., silverware:fork and clothing:shirt). Due to the large number of possible relations, we argue that it is important to combine multiple models based on heterogeneous information sources. Our overall system consists of two novel general-purpose relational similarity models and three specific word re...
