 | Riloff, Ellen M. | Learning and evaluating the content and structure of a term taxonomy | In this paper, we describe a weakly supervised bootstrapping algorithm that reads Web texts and learns taxonomy terms. The bootstrapping algorithm starts with two seed words (a seed hypernym (Root concept) and a seed hyponym) that are inserted into a doubly anchored hyponym pattern.

 | Riloff, Ellen M. | Semantic class learning from the web with hyponym pattern linkage graphs | We present a novel approach to weakly supervised semantic class learning from the web, using a single powerful hyponym pattern combined with graph structures, which capture two properties associated with pattern-based extractions: popularity and productivity. Intuitively, a candidate is popular if ... | Weakly supervised; Semantic class learning; Hyponym pattern; Pattern-based extractions; Class name; Seed instance | 2008 |
