This item is a Paper in the Semantic/Data Web track.
Measuring the similarity between semantic relations that hold among
entities is an important and necessary step in various Web related
tasks such as relation extraction, information retrieval and analogy
detection. For example, consider the case in which a person knows
a pair of entities (e.g. Google, YouTube), between which a partic-
ular relation holds (e.g. acquisition). The person is interested in
retrieving other such pairs with similar relations (e.g. Microsoft,
Powerset). Existing keyword-based search engines cannot be ap-
plied directly in this case because, in keyword-based search, the
goal is to retrieve documents that are relevant to the words used in
a query – not necessarily to the relations implied by a pair of words.
We propose a relational similarity measure, using a Web search en-
gine, to compute the similarity between semantic relations implied
by two pairs of words. Our method has three components: repre-
senting the various semantic relations that exist between a pair of
words using automatically extracted lexical patterns, clustering the
extracted lexical patterns to identify the different patterns that ex-
press a particular semantic relation, and measuring the similarity
between semantic relations using a metric learning approach. We
evaluate the proposed method in two tasks: classifying semantic
relations between named entities, and solving word-analogy ques-
tions. The proposed method outperforms all baselines in a relation
classification task with a statistically significant average precision
score of 0.74. Moreover, it reduces the time taken by Latent Relational Analysis to process 374 word-analogy questions from 9 days
to less than 6 hours, with an SAT score of 51%.

About this site
This website has been set up for WWW2009 by Christopher Gutteridge of the University of Southampton, using our EPrints software.
Add your Slides, Posters, Supporting data, whatnots...
If you are presenting a paper or poster and have slides or supporting material you would like to have permentently made public at this website, please email
email@example.com - Include the file(s), a note to say if they are presentations, supporting material or whatnot, and the URL of the paper/poster from this site. eg. http://www2009.eprints.org/128/
It's impractical to add all the workshops at WWW2009 by hand, but if you can provide me with the metadata in a machine readable way, I'll have a go at importing it. If you are good at slinging XML, my ideal import format is visible at http://www2009.eprints.org/import_example.xml
We (Southampton EPrints Project) intend to preserve the files and HTML pages of this site for many years, however we will turn it into flat files for long term preservation. This means that at some point in the months after the conference the search, metadata-export, JSON interface, OAI etc. will be disabled as we "fossilize" the site. Please plan accordingly. Feel free to ask nicely for us to keep the dynamic site online longer if there's a rally good (or cool) use for it...
- WWW2009 EPrints supports OAI 2.0 with a base URL of http://www2009.eprints.org/cgi/oai2
- The JSON URL is http://www2009.eprints.org/cgi/json?callback=function&eprintid=number
To prevent google killing the server by hammering these tools, the /cgi/ URL's are denied to robots.txt - ask Chris if you want an exception made.
Feel free to contact me (Christopher Gutteridge) with any other queries or suggestions. ...Or if you do something cool with the data which we should link to!
These are not directly related to the EPrints set up, but may be of use to delegates.
- Social tool links
- I've put links in the page header to the WWW2009 stuff on flickr, facebook and to a page which will let you watch the #www2009 tag on Twitter. Not really the right place, but not yet made it onto the main conference homepage. Send me any suggestions for new links.
