TL;DR
This work goes a step further by automatically creating not just clusters of related words, but a hierarchy of nouns and their hypernyms, akin to the hand-built hierarchy in WordNet.
Abstract
Previous work has shown that automatic methods can be used in building semantic lexicons. This work goes a step further by automatically creating not just clusters of related words, but a hierarchy of nouns and their hypernyms, akin to the hand-built hierarchy in WordNet.

This work addresses the problem of predicting a word from previous words in a sample of text and discusses n-gram models based on classes of words, finding that these models are able to extract classes that have the flavor of either syntactically based groupings or semanticallybased groupings, depending on the nature of the underlying statistics.

This paper presents an algorithm for extracting potential entries for a category from an on-line corpus, based upon a small set of exemplars, that could be viewed as an "enhancer" of existing broad-coverage resources.
