Abstract

HNC designs a theoretical framework for machine to understand the meaning of natural language and offers different ways to represent abstract as well as concrete concepts. However, it doesn’t mention some concrete concepts closely related to people’s daily life and fails to reveal the connotations of them. This paper based on the “Synset-Lexeme Anamorphosis” Method tries to realize a word cluster centered with concept nodes by constructing synonym sets and tries to reveal detailed semantic connotations of words. It aims to reach an effective docking between HNC and lexical semantic web to make the current Semantic Web more complete and perfect.
