Abstract
In this work, we present a model for semi-automatically extracting part-whole relations from a Turkish raw text. The model takes a list of manually prepared seeds to induce syntactic patterns and estimates their reliabilities. It then captures the variations of part-whole candidates from the corpus. To get precise meronymic relationships, the candidates are ranked and selected according to their reliability scores. We use and compare some metrics to evaluate the strength of association between a pattern and matched pairs. We conclude with a discussion of the result and show that the model presented here gives promising results for Turkish text.
