In many types of technical texts, meaning is embedded in noun compounds. A language understanding program needs to be able to interpret these in order to ascertain sentence meaning. We explore the possibility of using an existing lexical hierarchy for the purpose of placing words from a noun compound into categories, and then using this category membership to determine the relation that holds between the nouns. In this paper we present the results of an analysis of this method on twoword noun compounds from the biomedical domain, obtaining classification accuracy of approximately 90%. . | Proceedings of the 40th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics ACL Philadelphia July 2002 pp. 247-254.

A language understanding program needs to be able to interpret these in order to ascertain sentence meaning. We explore the possibility of using an existing lexical hierarchy for the purpose of placing words from a noun compound into categories and then using this category membership to determine the relation that holds between the nouns. In this paper we present the results of an analysis of this method on two-word noun compounds from the biomedical domain obtaining classification accuracy of approximately 90 . Since lexical hierarchies are not necessarily ideally suited for this task we also pose the question how far down the hierarchy must the algorithm descend before all the terms within the subhierarchy behave uniformly with respect to the semantic relation in question We find that the topmost levels of the hierarchy yield an accurate classification thus providing an economic way of assigning relations to noun compounds. 1 Introduction A major difficulty for the interpretation of sentences from technical texts is the complex structure of noun phrases and noun compounds. Consider for example this title taken from a biomedical journal abstract Open-labeled long-term study of the subcutaneous sumatriptan efficacy and tolerability in acute migraine treatment. An important step towards being able to interpret such technical sentences is to analyze the meaning of noun compounds and noun phrases more generally. With apologies to Charles Darwin. Interpretation of noun .
