Abstract

In recent years, many large-scale semantic resources have been built in the NLP community, but how to apply them in real text semantic parsing is still a big problem. In this paper, we propose a new computational framework to deal with this problem. Its key parts are a lexical semantic ontology (LSO) representation to integrate abundant information contained in current semantic resources, and a LSO schema to automatically reorganize all this semantic knowledge in a hierarchical network. We introduce an algorithm to build the LSO schema by a three-step procedure: to build a knowledge base of lexical relationship, to accumulate all information in it to generate basic LSO nodes, and to build a LSO schema through hierarchical clustering based on different semantic relatedness measures among them. The preliminary experiments have shown promising results to indicate its computability and scaling-up characteristics. We hope it can play an important role in real world semantic computation applications.
