Controlled Bootstrapping of Lexico-semantic Classes as a Bridge between Paradigmatic and Syntagmatic Knowledge: Methodology and Evaluation
Paolo Allegrini, Simonetta Montemagni⋄, Vito Pirrelli · 2000
Semantic classification of words is a highly context sensitive and somewhat moving target, hard to deal with and even harder to evaluate on an objective basis.In this paper we suggest a step-wise methodology for automatic acquisition of lexico-semantic classes and delve into the non trivial issue of how results should be evaluated against a top-down reference standard.
