This work is part of an ongoing project that is focused on the design of a lexicographic automaton. The main objective of the research is the extraction of analytical definitions and semantic relations of terms with data taken exclusively from internet. We present two of the abilities of the system: the extraction of analytical definitions and hypernyms. The methodology consists of the automatic search of that information with manually-built patterns based on the lexical structure of analytic definitions in natural language.
This method has improved the precision reported in the state of the art. Se have reached a precision of 92.5% for the extraction of analytical definitions and for the hypernymy relations.
