Abstract

Common techniques for acquiring semantic relations rely on static domain and linguistic resources, predefined patterns, and the presence of syntactic cues. We propose a hybrid approach which brings together established and novel techniques in lexical simplification, word disambiguation and association inference for acquiring coarse-grained relations between potentially ambiguous and composite terms using only dynamic Web resources. Our experiments using terms from two different domains demonstrate potential preliminary results.
