Combining syntactic patterns and Wikipedia's hierarchy of hyperlinks to extract meronym relations
Debela Tesfaye Gemechu, Michael Zock, Solomon Teferra · 2016
We present here two methods for extraction o, meronymic relation : (a) the first one relies solely on syntactic information.Unlike other approaches based on simple patterns, we determine their optimal combination to extract word pairs linked via a given semantic relation; (b) the second approach consists in combining syntactic patterns with the semantic information extracted from the Wikipedia hyperlink hierarchy (WHH) of the constituent words.By comparing our work with SemEval 2007 (Task 4 test set) and WordNet (WN) we found that our system clearly outperforms its competitors.
