    Commonsense Knowledge Acquisition Using Compositional Relational Semantics
    (Iaria Xps Press, 2011) Cankaya, Hakki C.; Blanco, Eduardo; Moldovan, Dan
    A method for the acquisition of commonsense knowledge based on instantiations of metarules is presented. The metarules refer to some properties and objects that have those properties. Metarules are instantiated by automatically identifying objects that have those properties. In order to increase the applicability of a commonsense property to objects, composition of semantic relations is used. The method has been implemented and tested over WordNet. Results show that a commonsense metarule can produce many knowledge base axioms.

    Semantic Composition of At-Location Relation With Other Relations
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2012) Cankaya, Hakki C.; Blanco, Eduardo; Moldovan, Dan
    This paper presents a method for the composition of at-location with other semantic relations. The method is based on inference axioms that combine two semantic relations yielding another relation that otherwise is not expressed. An experimental study conducted on PropBank, WordNet, and eXtended WordNet shows that inferences have high accuracy. The method is applicable to combining other semantic relations and it is beneficial to many semantically intense applications.
