Exploiting Syntactico-Semantic Structures for Relation Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we observe that there exists a second dimension to the relation extraction (RE) problem that is orthogonal to the relation type dimension. We show that most of these second dimensional structures are relatively constrained and not difficult to identify. We propose a novel algorithmic approach to RE that starts by first identifying these structures and then, within these, identifying the semantic type of the relation. In the real RE problem where relation arguments need to be identified, exploiting these structures also allows reducing pipelined propagated errors. We show that this RE framework provides significant improvement in RE performance.

Meronymy Extraction Using An Automated Theorem Prover
In this paper we present a truly semantic-oriented approach for meronymy relation extraction. It directly operates, instead of syntactic trees or surface representations, on semantic networks (SNs). These SNs are derived from texts (in our case, the German Wikipedia) by a deep linguistic syntactico-se mantic analysis. The extraction of meronym/holonym pairs is carried out by using, among other...
متن کاملExploiting Relation Extraction for Ontology Alignment
When multiple ontologies are used within one application system, aligning the ontologies is a prerequisite for interoperability and unhampered semantic navigation and search. Various methods have been proposed to compute mappings between elements from different ontologies, the majority of which being based on various kinds of similarity measures. As a major shortcoming of these methods it is di...
متن کاملExploiting Syntactic and Semantic Information for Relation Extraction from Wikipedia
The exponential growth of Wikipedia recently attracts the attention of a large number of researchers and practitioners. One of the current challenge on Wikipedia is to make the encyclopedia processable for machines. In this paper, we deal with the problem of extracting relations between entities from Wikipedia’s English articles, which can straightforwardly be transformed into Semantic Web meta...
متن کاملExploiting Background Knowledge for Relation Extraction
Relation extraction is the task of recognizing semantic relations among entities. Given a particular sentence supervised approaches to Relation Extraction employed feature or kernel functions which usually have a single sentence in their scope. The overall aim of this paper is to propose methods for using knowledge and resources that are external to the target sentence, as a way to improve rela...
متن کاملExploiting Description Knowledge for Keyphrase Extraction
Keyphrase extraction is essential for many IR and NLP tasks. Existing methods usually use the phrases of the document separately without distinguishing the potential semantic correlations among them, or other statistical features from knowledge bases such as WordNet and Wikipedia. However, the mutual semantic information between phrases is also important, and exploiting their correlations may p...
