Automatic Acquisition of Synonyms of Verbs from an Explanatory Dictionary Using Hyponym and Hyperonym Relations

چکیده
In this paper we present an automatic method for extraction of synonyms of verbs from an explanatory dictionary based only on hyponym/hyperonym relations existing between the verbs defined and the genus used in their definitions. The set of pairs verb-genus can be considered as a directed graph, so we applied an algorithm to identify cycles in these kind of structures. We found that some cycles represent chains of synonyms. We obtain high precision and low recall.

Automatic Construction of Persian ICT WordNet using Princeton WordNet
WordNet is a large lexical database of English language, in which, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets). Each synset expresses a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by both semantic and lexical relations. WordNet is essentially used for word sense disambiguation, information retrieval, and text translation. In this paper, we propose s...
متن کاملAn Application of WordNet to Prepositional Attachment
This paper presents a method for word sense disambiguation and coherence understanding of prepositional relations. The method relies on information provided by WordNet 1.5. We rst classify preposi-tional attachments according to semantic equivalence of phrase heads and then apply inferential heuristics for understanding the validity of prepositional structures. 1 Problem description In this pap...
متن کاملGrouping Dictionary Synonyms in Sense Components
In this paper, a study of the synonymy in a dictionary of verbs is presented and a new approach to solve the polysemy problem is proposed. More precisely, it is about dispatching verb synonyms in groups called “sense components”, each corresponding to a verb meaning. The dictionary is represented as a graph and the sense component is obtained by studying circuits in this graph. This study is ba...
متن کاملAutomatic Extraction of Turkish Hypernym-Hyponym Pairs From Large Corpus
In this paper, we propose a fully automatic system for acquisition of hypernym/hyponymy relations from large corpus in Turkish Language. The method relies on both lexico-syntactic pattern and semantic similarity. Once the model has extracted the seeds by using patterns, it applies similarity based expansion in order to increase recall. For the expansion, several scoring functions within a boots...

This paper is a multi-disciplinary study on cognitive linguistics, computational linguistics and language acquisition. It focuses on application issues of meaning, semantic structures and pragmatics to near-synonyms in Chinese and English languages. The near-synonyms of physical action verbs (PA Verbs) can be distinctive from each other in the way in which their actions are depicted, but in ter...
