A Lexico-Semantic Analysis of Chinese Locality Phrases - A Topic Clustering Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a novel approach using LDA (Latent Dirichlet Analysis, Blei, David, Andrew, Michael, and Jordan, 2003) to analyze synonym groups appearing in fixed frames containing Chinese locative phrases, such as [zái noun phrase (yǐ/zhī) shàng/xià/etc. biān/miàn/etc.], and to understand noun meanings related to the syntactic forms of locative phrases. We mapped the different noun phrases to their collocating synonym groups before we generated similarity comparison among different combinations. We collected locative phrases using 11 monosyllabic locative words and 5 locative compoundformation patterns from Sketch Engine, and we aligned these compounds with Chinese Synonym Forest (Mei, Zhu, & Gao 1983) before clustering. A Hive Plot (Krzywinski, Birol, Jones, and Marra, 2012) visualizer was constructed in order to help understand the relationship of locative nouns and their synonym groups. The results showed not only the semantic meaning within a locative phrase, but also the corresponding semantic meanings among locative phrases.

A Joint Semantic Vector Representation Model for Text Clustering and Classification
Text clustering and classification are two main tasks of text mining. Feature selection plays the key role in the quality of the clustering and classification results. Although word-based features such as term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vectors have been widely used in different applications, their shortcoming in capturing semantic concepts of text motivated researches to use...
متن کاملEnhancement of a subjective word lexicon by semantic tests
Recent considerations in opinion mining, oriented by real applicative tasks, require creating lexical and semantic resources quantitatively and qualitatively rich. In this context, we present a method to automatically enhance a lexicon of subjective terms. The method relies on the indexing of Web documents by a search engine and large number of requests automatically sent. The construction of t...
متن کاملA Lexico-Semantic Approach To The Structuring Of Terminology
This paper discusses a number of implications of using either a conceptual approach or a lexico-semantic approach to terminology structuring, especially for interpreting data supplied by corpora for the purpose of building specialized dictionaries. A simple example, i.e., program, will serve as a basis for showing how relationships between terms are captured in both approaches. My aim is to dem...

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of word clustering method on vocabulary learning of Iranian EFL learners through a case of semantic versus phonological clustering. To this effect, 80 homogeneous students from four intermediate classes at an English institute in Torbat e Heydariyeh participated in this research. They were assigned to four groups according to semantic versus phon...

This paper examines the question of differences between a traditional interlingua approach and a transferbased approach that uses cross-linguistic semantic features to generalize its transfer lexicon entries, and concludes that the two approaches share a common interest in lexical classifications that can be distinguished by cross-linguistic semantic features. The paper goes on to discuss curre...
