Abstract
Verification of hyponymy relations is a basic problem in knowledge acquisition. We present a method of hyponymy verification based on concept space. Firstly, we give the definition of concept space about a group of candidate hyponymy relations. Secondly we analyze the concept space and define a set of hyponymy features based on the space structure. Then we use them to verify candidate hyponymy relations. Experimental results show that the method can provide adequate verification of hyponymy.
