Abstract

This paper describes the improvement of an automatic system for detecting semantic relations between nominals by the use of linguistically motivated knowledge combined with machine learning techniques. A previous version of the system using a Support Vector Machine classifier was evaluated in the 4th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluations, SEMEVAL [5]. The performance of the system improved significantly by the application of the linguistic based rules.
