Abstract

We present an approach for semantic relation extraction between nominals that combines semantic information with shallow syntactic processing. We propose to use the ResearchCyc knowledge base as a source of semantic information about nominals. Each source of information is represented by a specific kernel function. The experiments were carried out using support vector machines as a classifier. The system achieves an overall F1 of 77.62% on the "Multi-Way Classification of Semantic Relations Between Pairs of Nominals" task at SemEval-2010.
