In this\npaper, we study the performance of both approaches on several hypernymy tasks\nand find that simple pattern-based methods consistently outperform\ndistributional methods on common benchmark datasets. Our results show that\npattern-based models provide important contextual constraints which are not yet\ncaptured in distributional methods.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1806.03191v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1806.03191v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"hearst-patterns-revisited-automatic-hypernym","repo_url":"https://github.com/facebookresearch/hypernymysuite","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"hearst-patterns-revisited-automatic-hypernym","repo_url":"https://github.com/luyang1210/facebook-hearst","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1806.03191","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
