....a manually constructed noun classification hierarchy to generalize the selectional patterns in the training corpus; however in more recent work they have shifted to a smoothing technique based on a distributional measure of noun similarity (see discussion in Section 2. 3) A similar approach is taken by Sekine et al. 1992), who cluster words on the basis of distributional similarity and use the clusters in identifying selectional patterns. A third approach of this kind is seen in the work of Velardi and colleagues (Velardi, 1991; Velardi, Pazienza, and Fasolo, 1991; Basili, Pazienza, and Velardi, 1991; Basili, ....

.... Angeles, CA 90089 kenm psych.rochester.edu desa cs.rochester.edu marks neuro.usc.edu Abstract Behavioral experiments have demonstrated that people encode knowledge of correlations among semantic properties of entities and that this knowledge influences performance on semantic tasks (McRae, 1992; McRae, de Sa, Seidenberg, 1993). Independently, in connectionist theory, it has been claimed that relationships among semantic properties may provide structure that is required for the relatively arbitrary mapping from word form to word meaning (Hinton Shallice, 1991) We explored these issues by implementing a modified ....
....model that was used to investigate a theory in which property intercorrelations play a key role in the computation of concepts from words. Simulations of the behavioral phenomena described in McRae are presented. A more complete description of the experiments and simulations is available in McRae et al. 1993). The human empirical studies reported in McRae (1992) investigated an important and basic aspect of people s knowledge of real world entities, namely, correlations among properties (e.g. has fur and has a tail are correlated in entities in the world) The studies demonstrated a clear influence ....
