Method of Semantic Relevance Relation Measurement between Words

The quantitative research of semantic relation between words is an essential subtask for some natural language processing task.Generally,semantic relation between words includes three types of relations,namely,synonymy relation,hyponymy relation and relevance relation.The existing quantitative researches of semantic relation between words are mostly focused on how to quantify the synonymy relation(or similarity relation) between words.In this paper,we study and present a novel approach to quantity the semantic relevance relation between words by constructing the bipartite graph of lexical relevance relation.Moreover,our approach can resolve the measurement of the semantic relevance relation between words without co-occurrence in the corpus.The experiment results show that our approach is more feasible than the mutual information.For a specific word,our approach can generates a relative reasonable trend result on its semantic relevance relation to other words.
