Description |
The current state of the art allows us to identify the important domain concepts from
text and use these to build reasonable subsumption hierarchies.The identification
of other relations in text remains much more challenging. This work is concerned with
developing techniques for advanced relation identification.
In text, relations between nominal concepts are established by verbs. However, verbs
are highly polysemous and their usage is often metaphorical. Furthermore, the meaning
of a verb in a sentence is also more than its lexical meaning. Some of this meaning
is embedded in the argument structure of the sentence construction. This constructional
meaning is fundamental to the nature of the relation between its arguments. The lexical
meaning acts as a modification of the meaning of the construction. The research is
aimed at using the constructional meaning component of the sentence to infer the logical
relations between the nominal concepts.People
