Abstract

In this paper, we outline our approach to interpreting semantic relations in nominal pairs in SemEval-2007 task #4: Classification of Semantic Relations between Nominals. We build on two baseline approaches to interpreting noun compounds: sense collocation, and constituent similarity. These are consolidated into an overall system in combination with co-training, to expand the training data. Our two systems attained an average F-score over the test data of 58.7% and 57.8%, respectively.
