Bilingual Co-Training for Monolingual Hyponymy-Relation Acquisition

This paper proposes a novel framework called bilingual co-training for a largescale, accurate acquisition method for monolingual semantic knowledge. In this framework, we combine the independent processes of monolingual semanticknowledge acquisition for two languages using bilingual resources to boost performance. We apply this framework to largescale hyponymy-relation acquisition from Wikipedia. Experimental results show that our approach improved the F-measure by 3.6
