Detecting Asymmetric Semantic Relations in Context: A Case-Study on Hypernymy Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce WHIC1, a challenging testbed for detecting hypernymy, an asymmetric relation between words. While previous work has focused on detecting hypernymy between word types, we ground the meaning of words in specific contexts drawn from WordNet examples, and require predictions to be sensitive to changes in contexts. WHIC lets us analyze complementary properties of two approaches of inducing vector representations of word meaning in context. We show that such contextualized word representations also improve detection of a wider range of semantic relations in context.

Specialising Word Vectors for Lexical Entailment
We present LEAR (Lexical Entailment Attract-Repel), a novel post-processing method that transforms any input word vector space to emphasise the asymmetric relation of lexical entailment (LE), also known as the IS-A or hyponymy-hypernymy relation. By injecting external linguistic constraints (e.g., WordNet links) into the initial vector space, the LE specialisation procedure brings true hyponymy...
متن کاملNetwork Features Based Co-hyponymy Detection
Distinguishing lexical relations has been a long term pursuit in natural language processing (NLP) domain. Recently, in order to detect lexical relations like hypernymy, meronymy, co-hyponymy etc., distributional semantic models are being used extensively in some form or the other. Even though a lot of efforts have been made for detecting hypernymy relation, the problem of co-hyponymy detection...
متن کاملWhy we have switched from building full-fledged taxonomies to simply detecting hypernymy relations
The study of taxonomies and hypernymy relations has been extensive on the Natural Language Processing (NLP) literature. However, the evaluation of taxonomy learning approaches has traditionally troublesome, as it mainly relies on ad-hoc experiments, which are hardly reproducible and manually expensive. Partly because of this, current research has been lately focusing on the hypernymy detection ...
متن کاملLearning Semantic Network Patterns for Hypernymy Extraction
Current approaches of hypernymy acquisition are mostly based on syntactic or surface representations and extract hypernymy relations between surface word forms and not word readings. In this paper we present a purely semantic approach for hypernymy extraction based on semantic networks (SNs). This approach employs a set of patterns sub0(a1, a2) ← premise where the premise part of a pattern is g...
متن کاملWebIsALOD: Providing Hypernymy Relations Extracted from the Web as Linked Open Data
Hypernymy relations are an important asset in many applications, and a central ingredient to Semantic Web ontologies. The IsA database is a large collection of such hypernymy relations extracted from the Common Crawl. In this paper, we introduce WebIsALOD, a Linked Open Data release of the IsA database, containing 400M hypernymy relations, each provided with rich provenance information. As the ...
