Abstract

Hypernym relation extraction is considered the backbone of building ontologies. Hearst patterns are the most popular patterns used to extract hypernym relation. They include POS tags and lexical information, and they are applied on a shallow parsed corpora. In this paper, we propose a new formalization of Hearst patterns using dependency parser, called Dependency Hearst patterns. This formalization allows them to match better complex or ambiguous sentences. To evaluate our proposal, we have compared the performance of Dependency Hearst patterns to that of the lexico-syntactic Hearst patterns, applied on a music corpus. Dependency Hearst patterns yield a better result than lexico-syntactic patterns for extracting hypernym relations from the corpus.
