@article{zhou2008hierarchical, abstract = {This paper proposes a novel tree kernel-based method with rich syntactic and semantic information for the extraction of semantic relations between named entities. With a parse tree and an entity pair, we first construct a rich semantic relation tree structure to integrate both syntactic and semantic information. And then we propose a context-sensitive convolution tree kernel, which enumerates both context-free and context-sensitive sub-trees by considering the paths of their ancestor nodes as their contexts to capture structural information in the tree structure. An evaluation on the Automatic Content Extraction/Relation Detection and Characterization (ACE RDC) corpora shows that the proposed tree kernelbased method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.}, address = {Tarrytown, NY, USA}, author = {Zhou, GuoDong and Zhang, Min and Ji, DongHong and Zhu, QiaoMing}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ipm.2007.07.007}, file = {zhou2008hierarchical.pdf:zhou2008hierarchical.pdf:PDF}, groups = {public}, interhash = {e5e2d51cf1f3a6d5efc3bd25c40602c8}, intrahash = {b7eb173bc2c3dd1311a24ae9a96e5c2c}, issn = {0306-4573}, journal = {Information Process Managegement}, journalpub = {1}, number = 3, pages = {1008--1021}, publisher = {Pergamon Press, Inc.}, timestamp = {2010-06-10 10:51:05}, title = {Hierarchical learning strategy in semantic relation extraction}, url = {http://nlp.suda.edu.cn/~gdzhou/publication/zhougd2010_INS_ContextSensitiveTreeKernelforRelationExtraction.pdf}, username = {dbenz}, volume = 44, year = 2008 }
