Synonymy Extraction From Semantic Networks Using String and Graph Kernel Methods
vor der Brück Tim, Wang Yu-Fang Helena · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2012
Synonyms are a highly relevant information source for natural language processing. Automatic synonym extraction methods have in common that they are either applied on the surface representation of the text or on a syntactical structure derived from it. In this paper, however, we present a semantic synonym extraction approach that operates directly on semantic networks (SNs), which were derived from text by a deep syntactico-semantic analysis.
