ABSTRACT
A crucial step toward the goal of automatic extraction of propositional information from natural language text is the identification of semantic relations between constituents in sentences. We examine the problem of distinguishing among seven relation types that can occur between the entities "treatment" and "disease" in bioscience text, and the problem of identifying such entities. We compare five generative graphical models and a neural network, using lexical, syntactic, and semantic features, finding that the latter help achieve high classification accuracy.

Translating lexical semantic relations: the first step towards multilingual wordnets
SEMANET '02: Proceedings of the 2002 workshop on Building and using semantic networks - Volume 11Establishing correspondences between wordnets of different languages is essential to both multilingual knowledge processing and for bootstrapping wordnets of low-density languages. We claim that such correspondences must be based on lexical semantic ...
Learning non-taxonomical semantic relations from domain texts
Ontology of a domain mainly consists of concepts, taxonomical (hierarchical) relations and non-taxonomical relations. Automatic ontology construction requires methods for extracting both taxonomical and non-taxonomical relations. Compared to extensive ...
Composition of semantic relations: Theoretical framework and case study
Extracting semantic relations from text is a preliminary step towards understanding the meaning of text. The more semantic relations are extracted from a sentence, the better the representation of the knowledge encoded into that sentence. This article ...
