Abstract:We propose an unsupervised approach to constructing templates from a large collection of semantic category names, and use the templates as the semantic representation of categories. The main challenge is that many terms have multiple meanings, resulting in a lot of wrong templates. Statistical data and semantic knowledge are extracted from a web corpus to improve template generation. A nonlinear scoring function is proposed and demonstrated to be effective. Experiments show that our approach achieves significa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
