Taking advantage of discursive properties for validating hierarchical semantic relations from parallel enumerative structures

Abstract

This paper presents an approach for automatically validating candidate hierarchical relations extracted from parallel enumerative structures. It relies on the discursive properties of these structures and on the combination of resources of different nature, a semantic network and a distributional resource. The results show an accuracy of between 0.50 and 0.67, with a gain of 0.11 when combining the two resources.
