SemEval-2015 Task 17: Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation (TExEval)

چکیده
This paper describes the first shared task on Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation organised as part of SemEval-2015. Participants were asked to find hypernym-hyponym relations between given terms. For each of the four selected target domains the participants were provided with two lists of domainspecific terms: a WordNet collection of terms and a well-known terminology extracted from an online publicly available taxonomy. A total of 45 taxonomies submitted by 6 participating teams were evaluated using standard structural measures, the structural similarity with a gold standard taxonomy, and through manual quality assessment of sampled novel relations.

SemEval-2016 Task 13: Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation (TExEval-2)
This paper describes the second edition of the shared task on Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation organised as part of SemEval 2016. This task aims to extract hypernym-hyponym relations between a given list of domain-specific terms and then to construct a domain taxonomy based on them. TExEval-2 introduced a multilingual setting for this task, covering four different languages including English, Dut...

This paper describes our submission to the SemEval-2016 Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation (TExEval-2) Task. We examine the endocentric nature of hyponyms and propose a simple rule-based method to identify hypernyms at high precision. For the food domain, we extract lists of terms from the Wikipedia lists of lists by using the name of each list as the endocentric head and treating all terms in the ...

This paper presents our participation to the SemEval “Task 13: Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation (TExEval-2)” (Bordea et al., 2016). This year, we propose the combination of recent semantic vectors representation into a methodology for semisupervised and auto-supervised acquisition of lexical taxonomies from raw texts. In our proposal, first similarities between concepts are calculated using seman...
متن کاملJUNLP at SemEval-2016 Task 13: A Language Independent Approach for Hypernym Identification
This paper describes our approach to build a language-independent hypernym extraction system, based on two modules for the SemEval-2016 Task 13 on Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation (TExEval-2). This task focuses only on the hypernym-hyponym relation extraction from a list of terms collected from various domains and languages. The first module of our system is built on the stateof-the-art system us...
متن کاملLT3: A Multi-modular Approach to Automatic Taxonomy Construction
This paper describes our contribution to the SemEval-2015 task 17 on “Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation”. We propose a hypernym detection system combining three modules: a lexico-syntactic pattern matcher, a morphosyntactic analyzer and a module retrieving hypernym relations from structured lexical resources. Our system ranked first in the competition when considering the gold standard and manual ...
