Finding Associations between People
Eduardo Blanco, DAN I. MOLDOVAN · 2015
Associations between people and other concepts are common in text and range from distant to close con-nections. This paper discusses and justifies the need to consider subtypes of the generic relation ASSOCIATION. Semantic primitives are used as a concise and formal way of specifying the key semantic differences between subtypes. A taxonomy of association relations is pro-posed, and a method based on composing previously extracted relations is used to extract subtypes. Experi-mental results show high precision and moderate recall. 1
