Antonym Candidates

The general processes of generating Lexicon antonyms are shown as bellows:

Generate antonym candidates from source models of LEX|SD|PD|CC|SN
Manually tag candidates by linguists
Validate and fix tagged files
Update tagged file to annual release tagged file
Generate antonym and negation detection cue words from the tagged file

This section describes the design on antonym candidates. The output file of antonym candidates has 10 fields as described in Tag section. Each line represents an antonym pair (aPair) candidate and includes all associated information. The table below shows examples of antonym candidates (before being manually tagged or further processed).

Antonym candidate files are generated annually and sent to linguists for tagging.
