Towards the Inference of Semantic Relations in Complex Nominals: a Pilot Study (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Complex nominals (CNs) show similar external forms but encode different semantic relations because of noun packing. |
| Approach: | They propose to use paraphrases to convey conceptual content of english two-term CNs in the domain of environmental science to disambiguate the semantic relation between constituents of CN. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method disambiguates the semantic relation between constituents of the CN and infers the semantic relations in these multi-word terms. |
