Corpus-based Semantic Class Mining: Distributional vs. Pattern-Based Approaches
Main approaches to corpus-based semantic class mining include distributional similarity (DS) and pattern-based (PB). In this paper, we perform an empirical comparison of them, bas...

Distributional Similarity vs. PU Learning for Entity Set Expansion
Distributional similarity is a classic technique for entity set expansion, where the system is given a set of seed entities of a particular class, and is asked to expand the set u...
