Synonymy in collocation extraction
Darren Pearce · 2001
This paper describes the use of WordNet in a new technique for collocation extraction. The approach is based on restrictions on the possible substitutions for synonyms within candidate phrases. Following a general discussion of collocations and their applications, current extraction methods are briefly described. This is followed by a detailed description of the new approach and results and evaluation of experiments that utilise WordNet as a source of synonymic information. 1
