Title
Acquiring Commonsense Knowledge about Properties of Concepts from Text
Abstract
Commonsense knowledge plays an important role in various areas such as natural language understanding, information retrieval, etc. This paper presents a method for acquiring commonsense knowledge about properties of concepts by analyzing how adjectives are used with nouns in everyday language. We firstly mine a large scale corpus for potential concept-property pairs using lexico-syntactic patterns and then filter erroneously acquired ones based on heuristic rules and statistical approaches. For each concept, we automatically select the commonsensical properties and evaluate their applicability. Finally, we generate commonsense knowledge represented with explicit fuzzy quantifiers. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
