Transductive Non-linear Learning for Chinese Hypernym Prediction
Chengyu Wang, Junchi Yan, Aoying Zhou, Xiaofeng He · 2017
Finding the correct hypernyms for entities is essential for taxonomy learning, finegrained entity categorization, knowledge base construction, etc. Due to the flexibility of the Chinese language, it is challenging to identify hypernyms in Chinese accurately.Rather than extracting hypernyms from texts, in this paper, we present a transductive learning approach to establish mappings from entities to hypernyms in the embedding space directly.It combines linear and non-linear embedding projection models, with the capacity of encoding arbitrary language-specific rules.Experiments on real-world datasets illustrate that our approach outperforms previous methods for Chinese hypernym prediction.
