Eoann: Lexical semantic relation classification using an ensemble of artificial neural networks

Abstract

Researchers use wordnets as a knowledge base in many natural language processing tasks and applications, such as question answering, textual entailment, discourse classification, and so forth. Lexical semantic relations among words or concepts are important parts of knowledge encoded in wordnets. As the use of wordnets becomes extensively widespread, extending the existing ones gets more attention. Manual construction and extension of lexical semantic relations for WordNets or knowledge graphs are very time consuming. Using automatic relation extraction methods can speedup this process.
