Description
Summary:This article presents a method of classification of nouns into semantic groups based on statistical inference. The algorithm uses the inflectional dictionary of the Polish language and a corpus of texts to analyse adjective-noun relationships. The semantic groups are consistent with the categorization in the WordNet dictionary. The classification of nouns into semantic groups is a small step towards constructing a semantic dictionary for the Polish language.
