Combination of endogenous clues for profiling inferred semantic relations: experiments with Gene Ontology
Résumé
Acquisition and enrichment of lexical resources is acknowledged as an important research in the area of computational linguistics. While such resources are often missing, specialized domains, ie biomedicine, propose several structured terminologies. In this paper, we propose a high-quality method for inferring elementary synonym lexicon through a structured terminology. The method is based on the analysis of syntactic structure of complex terms. The inferred synonym pairs are then profiled according to different clues endogenously computed within the same terminology. We apply and evaluate the approach on the Gene Ontology biomedical terminology.
