{"pk":30873,"title":"Learning Semantic Relationships in Compound Nouns with Connctionist Networks","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This paper describes a new approach for understanding compound nouns. Since several approaches have demonstrated the difficulties in finding detailed and suitable semantic relationships within compound nouns, we use only a few basic semantic relationships and provide the system with the additional ability to learn the details of these basic semantic relationships from training examples. Our system is based on a back propagation architecture and has been trained to understand compound nouns from a scientific technical domain. The test results demonstrated that a connectionist network is able to learn semantic relationships within compound nouns.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Poster Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6d29j6nt","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Stefan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Wermter","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Massachusetts","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1989-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30873/galley/20722/download/"}]}
