Abstract
This paper introduces Collative Semantics (CS), a new domain-independent semantics for natural language processing (NLP) which addresses the problems of lexical ambiguity, metonymy, various semantic relations (conventional relations, redundant relations, contradictory relations, metaphorical relations and severely anomalous relations) and the introduction of new information. We explain the two techniques CS uses for matching together knowledge structures (KSs) and why semantic vectors, which record the results of such matches, are informative enough to tell apart semantic relations and be the basis for lexical disambiguation.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
