Abstract

This paper proposes a method to automatically construct a common-sense attribute knowledge base in Chinese. The method first makes use of word formation information to bootstrap an initial attribute set from a machine readable dictionary and then extending it iteratively on the World Wide Web. The solving of the defining concepts of the attributes is modeled as a resolution problem of selectional preference. The acquired attribute knowledge base is compared to HowNet, a hand-coded lexical knowledge source. Some experimental results about the performance of the method are provided.
