A Java Framework for Multilingual Definition and Hypernym Extraction

From syntactic structure to semantic relationship: hypernym extraction from definitions by recurrent neural networks using the part of speech information

The hyponym-hypernym relation is an essential element in the semantic network. Identifying the hypernym from a definition is an important task in natural language processing and semantic analysis. While a public dictiona…

TALN-UPF: Taxonomy Learning Exploiting CRF-Based Hypernym Extraction on Encyclopedic Definitions

Towards a methodology for automatic identification of hypernyms in the definitions of large-scale dictionary

The purpose of this paper is to identify automatically hypernyms for dictionary entries by exploring their definitions. In order to do this, we propose a weighting methodology that lets us assign to each lexeme a weight …

Improving Hypernymy Extraction with Distributional Semantic Classes

In this paper, we show how distributionally-induced semantic classes can be helpful for extracting hypernyms. We present methods for inducing sense-aware semantic classes using distributional semantics and using these in…

Term Definitions Help Hypernymy Detection

Existing methods of hypernymy detection mainly rely on statistics over a big corpus, either mining some co-occurring patterns like "animals such as cats" or embedding words of interest into context-aware vectors. These a…
