Automatic semantic classification for Chinese unknown compound nouns
Keh-Jiann Chen, Chao-jan Chen · 2000
Tim paper describes a similarity-based model to present the morphological rules for Chinese compound nouns.This representation model serves functions of 1) as the morphological rules of the compounds, 2) as a mean to evaluate the properness of a compound construction, and 3) as a mean to disambiguate the semantic ambiguity of the nlorphological head of a compound noun.An automatic semantic classil'ication system for Chinese unknown compounds is thus implemented based on the model.Experiments and on'or analyses arc also presented.
