From syntactic structure to semantic relationship: hypernym extraction from definitions by recurrent neural networks using the part of speech information

7 Dec 2020  ·  Yixin Tan, Xiaomeng Wang, Tao Jia ·

The hyponym-hypernym relation is an essential element in the semantic network. Identifying the hypernym from a definition is an important task in natural language processing and semantic analysis. While a public dictionary such as WordNet works for common words, its application in domain-specific scenarios is limited. Existing tools for hypernym extraction either rely on specific semantic patterns or focus on the word representation, which all demonstrate certain limitations.
