Abstract

This paper presents a framework for combining semantic relations extracted from text to reveal even more semantics that otherwise would be missed. A set of 26 relations is introduced, with their arguments defined on an ontology of sorts. A semantic parser is used to extract these relations from noun phrases and verb argument structures. The method was successfully used in two applications: rapid customization of semantic relations to arbitrary domains and recognizing entailments.
