Conceptual exploration of semantic mirrors. (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Priss, U., & Old, L. J. (2005, February). Conceptual exploration of semantic mirrors. Presented at Third International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 3403

The "Semantic Mirrors Method" (Dyvik, 1998) is a means for automatic derivation of thesaurus entries from a word-aligned parallel corpus. The method is based on the construction of lattices of linguistic features. This paper models the Semantic Mirro... Read More about Conceptual exploration of semantic mirrors..
