Abstract

The paper describes the use of semantic-syntactic word valence vectors as context vectors in the Formal Concept Analysis for building high-quality taxonomies. Research and experiments have confirmed a significant improvement in the quality of constructed taxonomies when in tensor models the number of dimensions is increased while generating semantic-syntactic word valence vectors. The increased arity of the tensor model gives a more accurate description of the multidimensional semantic and syntactic relations and allows allocating more commutative semantic-syntactic properties of the words that are used in the Formal Concept Analysis.
