Extraction of Semantic Relations Between Concepts with Knn Algorithms on Wikipedia

Extraction of Semantic Relations Between Concepts with Knn Algorithms on Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Alexander Panchenko and Cédrick Fairon.

Overview

This paper presents methods for extraction of semantic relations be- tween words. The methods rely on the k-nearest neighbor algorithms and two semantic similarity measures to extract relations from the abstracts of Wikipe- dia articles. Authors analyze the proposed methods and evaluate their performance. Precision of the extraction with the best method achieves 83%. Authors also present an open source system which effectively implements the described algorithms.
