[Corpora-List] corpus transformations info - SUMMARY

[PbIKOB_B.B.]

Philosophers teach us that there are three sources of knowledge (K): R (reality or nature), M (human mind) and S (sign structures √ here texts).

So √ corpus of texts (CT) is one of the sources of K.

 In semiotical terms we want to extract and encode semantics from CT covering a certain knowledge domain (KD). IMO we meet here at least three problems:

1.	It is hard to do it using just sign transformations √ without outer human or vocabulary/thesaurus support.
2.	It is not a single stage process. Each stage has its own specifications.
3.	The resulting K strongly depends on pragmatical goals of the user.

I think we should take into account discussing the problem of the CT into K formalisation.

Here are three papers discussing this problem:

=================

My colleague Scott Cederberg and I have worked pretty extensively on this
problem over the last couple of years. The following 3 papers give a good
overview:

Learning taxonomic information directly from corpora:
http://infomap.stanford.edu/papers/hyponymy.pdf

Building lexical classes from "seed examples":
http://infomap.stanford.edu/papers/lexical-graphs.ps

Enriching an existing taxonomy / lexicon with new terms:
http://infomap.stanford.edu/papers/enrich-taxonomies.pdf

These methods build on earlier work, particularly by Marti Hearst, Hinrich
Schutze, Ellen Riloff and Eugene Charniak.

Best wishes,
