Using Lexical Patterns for Extracting Hyponyms from the Web

چکیده
This paper describes a method for extracting hyponyms from free text. In particular it explores two main matters. On the one hand, the possibility of reaching favorable results using only lexical extraction patterns. On the other hand, the usefulness of measuring the instance’s confidences based on the pattern’s confidences, and vice versa. Experimental results are encouraging because they show that the proposed method can be a practical high-precision approach for extracting hyponyms for a given set of concepts.

Hyponym Extraction from the Web based on Property Inheritance of Text and Image Features
Concept hierarchy knowledge, such as hyponymy and meronymy, is very important for various Natural Language Processing systems. While WordNet and Wikipedia are being manually constructed and maintained as lexical ontologies, many researchers have tackled how to extract concept hierarchies from very large corpora of text documents such as the Web not manually but automatically. However, their met...
متن کاملHigh Fuzzy Utility Based Frequent Patterns Mining Approach for Mobile Web Services Sequences
Nowadays high fuzzy utility based pattern mining is an emerging topic in data mining. It refers to discover all patterns having a high utility meeting a user-specified minimum high utility threshold. It comprises extracting patterns which are highly accessed in mobile web service sequences. Different from the traditional fuzzy approach, high fuzzy utility mining considers not only counts of mob...
متن کاملAcquisition of Hypernyms and Hyponyms from the WWW
Recently research in automatic ontology construction has become a hot topic, because of the vision that ontology will be the core component to realize the semantic web. This paper presents a method to automatically construct ontology by mining the web. We introduce an algorithm to automatically acquire hypernyms and hyponyms for any given lexical term using search engine and natural language pr...
متن کاملExtracting Hyponyms of Prespecified Hypernyms from Itemizations and Headings in Web Documents
This paper describes a method to acquire hyponyms for given hypernyms from HTML documents on the WWW. We assume that a heading (or explanation) of an itemization (or listing) in an HTML document is likely to contain a hypernym of the items in the itemization, and we try to acquire hyponymy relations based on this assumption. Our method is obtained by extending Shinzato’s method (Shinzato and To...
متن کاملCombining Relational and Attributional Similarity for Semantic Relation Classification
We combine relational and attributional similarity for the task of identifying instances of semantic relations, such as PRODUCT-PRODUCER and ORIGINENTITY, between nominals in text. We use no pre-existing lexical resources, thus simulating a realistic real-world situation, where the coverage of any such resource is limited. Instead, we mine the Web to automatically extract patterns (verbs, prepo...
