I have a dataset with annotations in the form: <Word/Phrase, Ontology Class>
, where Ontology Class can be one of the following {Physical Object, Action, Quantity}
. I have created this dataset manually for my particular ontology model from a large corpus of text.
Because this process was manual, I am sure that I may have missed some words/phrases from my corpus. If such is the case, I am looking at ways to automatically extract other words from the same corpus that have the "characteristics" as these words in the labeled dataset. Therefore, the first task is to define "characteristics" before I even go with the task of extracting other words.
Are there any standard techniques that I can use to achieve this?
EDIT: Sorry. I should have mentioned that these are domain-specific words not found in WordNet.
