Converting verb to closest sense noun

[Himanshu Verma]

Hi all,

I am looking for a way to convert verb like "die" to similar closest meaning noun "death". Please suggest me if there is any way to do that.

thanks 

regards,

Himanshu

Hey Himanshu,

That sounds both hard and interesting! I don't think wordnet has that
kind of information in it...

Maybe ConceptNet could be useful for this? http://conceptnet5.media.mit.edu/

What kind of corpus are you working out of?

Actually I think wordnet can give you this:

>>> import nltk
>>> from nltk.corpus import wordnet as wn
[(l, l.derivationally_related_forms()) for l in wn.lemmas('die')]
[(Lemma('die.n.01.die'), []), (Lemma('die.n.02.die'),
[Lemma('die.v.07.die')]), (Lemma('die.n.03.die'),
[Lemma('die.v.07.die')]), (Lemma('die.v.01.die'),
[Lemma('death.n.01.death'), Lemma('death.n.02.death'),
Lemma('death.n.03.death'), Lemma('death.n.08.death'),
Lemma('death.n.05.death'), Lemma('death.n.06.Death')]),
(Lemma('die.v.02.die'), [Lemma('death.n.01.death'),
Lemma('death.n.02.death'), Lemma('death.n.03.death'),
Lemma('death.n.08.death'), Lemma('death.n.05.death'),
Lemma('death.n.06.Death')]), (Lemma('die.v.03.die'), []),
(Lemma('fail.v.04.die'), []), (Lemma('die.v.05.die'), []),
(Lemma('die.v.06.die'), []), (Lemma('die.v.07.die'),
[Lemma('die.n.02.die'), Lemma('die.n.03.die')]),
(Lemma('die.v.08.die'), []), (Lemma('die.v.09.die'), []),
(Lemma('die.v.10.die'), [Lemma('death.n.04.dying'),
Lemma('death.n.04.death'), Lemma('end.n.06.death')]),
(Lemma('die.v.11.die'), [])]

Hope this helps,

@Ambrish - I am not using any corpus. I am just working on sentence level and looking relations between words in that.

@Francis:- This seems quite useful to me. Thanks
