TL;DR
This paper proposes a method to analyze structures of Japanese compound nouns by using both word collocations statistics and a thesaurus, which is about 80% accurate.
Abstract
Analyzing compound nouns is one of the crucial issues for natural language processing systems, in particular for those systems that aim at a wide coverage of domaius. In this paper, we propose a mcthod to analyze structures of Japanese compound nouns by using both word collocations statistics and a thesaurus. An experiment is conducted with 160,000 word collocations to analyze comlmund nouns of with an average length of 4.9 characters. The accuracy of this method is about 80%. 1

This procedure uses available dictionaries, so that it will process any text; and uses solely the immediate context to decide which sense of a word is intended (in written English).
Word-sense disambiguation using statistical models of Roget's categories trained on large corpora

The resulting quasi-semantic classification of nouns demonstrates the plausibility of the distributional hypothesis, and has potential application to a variety of tasks, including automatic indexing, resolving nominal compounds, and determining the scope of modification.

The computational tools available for studying machine-readable corpora are at present still rather primitive and use these corpora and the basic concordancing tool mentioned above to fill in detailed syntactic descriptions (prompting a move, towards more thorough descriptions of lexical syntax).

This paper describes a means for automatically building very large neural networks (VLNNs) from definition texts in machine-readable dictionaries, and demonstrates the use of these networks for word sense disambiguation.

Acquisition of selectional patterns
61 Citations1992Ralph Grishman, John Sterling
This work has been specificaily concerned about the practicality of using such techniques in place of manual encoding to develop the selectional patterns for new domains, and is particularly concerned with the evaluation of the automatically generated patterns, in terms of their completehess and accuracy and in their efficacy in performing selection during parsing.

These methods are implemented in an added third stage to Xtract that examines the set of collocations retrieved during the previous two stages to both filter out a number of invalid collocations and add useful syntactic information to the retained ones.
