Deftor at SemEval-2016 Task 14: Taxonomy enrichment using definition vectors
Hristo Tanev, Agata Rotondi · 2016
In this paper we describe the participation of the Joint Research Centre, EC, in task 14 -Semantic Taxonomy Enrichment at SemEval 2016.The algorithm which we propose transforms each candidate definition into a term vector, where each dimension represents a term and its value is calculated by TF.IDF.We attach the candidate term as a hyponym to the WordNet synset with the most similar definition.The results we obtained are encouraging, considering the simplicity of our approach.The obtained F measure is below the average, but above one of the baselines.
