7.1 Common Approaches
• Collocations• Syntactic Dependencies• Lexico-syntactic patterns (Hearst, 1992)• Road Map:– Learning Attributes– Learning the Appropriate Generalization Level for
Relations– Learning Qualia Structures

7.3 Learning Relations from Corpora
• Based on verbal expressions• Generalization of argument wrt taxonomy• Statistical measures for generalization• Approach:– Extract verb frames– Generalize verb frames – statistical measures:• Conditional probability• Pointwise mutual information• X2 measure

7.4 Learning Qualia Structures from the Web
• Aristotle’s four basic factors or causes:– the material cause – made of– the agentive cause – source of creation or change– the formal cause – form or type– the final cause – purpose, intention, or aim
• Pustejovsky (1991): four roles in qualia structure:– constitutive – parts or components– agentive – verb, action brings into existence– formal – type information– telic – purpose or function

7.6 Conclusion and Open Issues
• Use adjectives and WordNot to learn attributes• Statistical learning of slots for verbs• Learning qualia structures• Learning from noun phrases?• Meaning of qualia roles?• Distinguish word senses?• Gold standard for qualia structures?• Calculus to reason on partial results?• Constrain according to linguistic principles?
