Abstract

This paper presents an unsupervised method for deriving inference axioms by composing semantic relations. The method is independent of any particular relation inventory. It relies on describing semantic relations using primitives and manipulating these primitives according to an algebra. The method was tested using a set of eight semantic relations yielding 78 inference axiomswhich were evaluated over PropBank.
