BagPack: A general framework to represent semantic relations

Computation and Language 2009-02-16 v1 Information Retrieval

Abstract

We introduce a way to represent word pairs instantiating arbitrary semantic relations that keeps track of the contexts in which the words in the pair occur both together and independently. The resulting features are of sufficient generality to allow us, with the help of a standard supervised machine learning algorithm, to tackle a variety of unrelated semantic tasks with good results and almost no task-specific tailoring.
