An empirical taxonomy of part-whole relations: Effects of part-whole relation type on relation identification

Language and Cognitive Processes, 1988
Abstract A taxonomy of part-whole (meronym) relations was developed (Experiment 1). Subjects sorted examples of relations and named each relation with a part-term, e.g. component, member, portion The resulting empirical taxonomy distinguished three major types of meronymy: part-whole (cup-handle), stuff (cup-china), and phase (growing up-adolescence ...

Representing part–whole relations in conceptual spaces

Cognitive Processing, 2013
In this paper, we propose a cognitive semantic approach to represent part-whole relations. We base our proposal on the theory of conceptual spaces, focusing on prototypical structures in part-whole relations. Prototypical structures are not accounted for in traditional mereological formalisms.

Effects of Relation Similarity on Part-Whole Decisions

The Journal of General Psychology, 1988
Subjects were presented with word pairs (e.g., bed-mattress) and timed as they decided whether one word named part of the item named by the other word. Yes responses were facilitated, and no responses were impeded, by relation similarity (i.e., the similarity of the relation between the two stimulus items to the part-whole relation).

Exclusion, subset realization, and part‐whole relations

Ratio, 2021
AbstractThe subset realization view proposes to solve the causal exclusion problem of non‐reductive mental instances by taking the mental instance as a part of its physical realizer. Many philosophers have argued that such a part‐whole relation will undermine physicalist realization because parts are ontologically prior to their wholes and the subset ...

Extracting Part-Whole Relations from Unstructured Chinese Corpus

2008 Fifth International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery, 2008
An important problem in text mining is the automatic extraction of semantic relations. The paper provides a domain independent method for automatic extraction of part-whole relations in Chinese corpusa. The method consists of there phases. First, a set of lexico-syntactical patterns for part-whole relations are designed using known pairs of concepts ...

Extraction of Part-Whole Relations from Turkish Corpora

2013
In this work, we present a model for semi-automatically extracting part-whole relations from a Turkish raw text. The model takes a list of manually prepared seeds to induce syntactic patterns and estimates their reliabilities. It then captures the variations of part-whole candidates from the corpus.

Representing Part-Whole Relations in Conceptual Modelling

2004
The idea that one thing may be part of another thing seems fundamental to the way humans perceive and understand phenomena. Part-whole (or meronymic) relations have been of interest to philosophers concerned with ontology (eg. Bunge, 1977; Weber, 1997; Chisholm, 1996) and psychologists concerned with human cognition (eg. Winston et al., 1987).

Part-Whole Relations as Products of Metric Spaces

2013 IEEE 25th International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence, 2013
Humans recognize objects by combining the processes of composition/decomposition and similarity matching. When we see an object, we try to match its whole, global aspect to some internal similar pattern that describes it. If this is not enough to recognize the object, it is decomposed into a structure of parts, where each part is considered as a whole ...

Specifying Well-Formed Part-Whole Relations in Coq

2014
In the domain of ontology design as well as in Conceptual Modeling, representing part-whole relations is a long-standing challenging problem. However, in most papers the focus has been on properties of the part-whole relation, rather than on its semantics.
