Abstract

Literature-Based Discovery (LBD), a kind of knowledge discovery algorithm, is proposed by Don R. Swanson, which can assist the researchers to recognize implicit knowledge connection and further accelerate the generation of new knowledge. However, most of algorithms in the field of LBD mainly start from the co-occurrence of terms to find connections between terms, and barely consider the semantic relation actually existing between pairs of terms. In this paper, a kind of directional recognition algorithm of semantic relation is put forward to recognize the directionality of semantic relation existing between pairs of terms. This algorithm will automatically judge the direction of semantic relation based on WordNet and JWNL. The numerical experiment results have indicated that the algorithm proposed in this paper can well recognize the directionality of the semantic relation.
