Abstract
A computer-implemented method for extracting semantic relations is disclosed. In the method, a plurality of hierarchal structures that originates from a corpus of documents is obtained. Each hierarchal structure includes a plurality of elements having respective recitations included in a corresponding document. In the method, for each predetermined relationship between ancestor and descendant elements in the hierarchal structures, a first keyword list is extracted from the ancestor element and a second keyword list is extracted from the descendant element. A statistical index is calculated for each pair of first and second keywords using the first keyword lists and the second keyword lists. The index indicates a strength of association between the first and second keywords. In the method, a candidate list of keyword pairs having semantic relationships is output using the statistical index calculated for each pair.
