We propose a novel algorithm for inducing semantic taxonomies. Previous algorithms for taxonomy induction have typically focused on independent classifiers for discovering new sin...
This paper is about finding explicit and implicit connections between people by mining semantic associations from their email communications. Following from a sociocognitive stance...
We describe a new unsupervised approach for synonymy discovery by aligning paraphrases in monolingual domain corpora. For that purpose, we identify phrasal terms that convey most ...
We investigate the use of clustering methods for the task of grouping the text spans in a news article that refer to the same event. We provide evidence that the order in which eve...
The work presents the first effort to automatically annotate the semantic meanings of temporal video patterns obtained through unsupervised discovery processes. This problem is in...
