TL;DR
An approach for detecting semantic relations in noun phrases using a learning algorithm to automatically label complex nominals, genitives and adjectival noun phrases with the corresponding semantic relation.
Abstract
This paper presents an approach for detecting semantic relations in noun phrases. A learning algorithm, called semantic scattering, is used to automatically label complex nominals, genitives and adjectival noun phrases with the corresponding semantic relation.

It is suggested that improvement of the underlying parser should significantly improve the model's perplexity and that even in the near term there is a lot of potential for improvement in immediate-head language models.
