Learning Collocations collection in FLAXFLAX team collections building:

Wikipedia mining tools
(1) extracting collocations from Wikipedia articles for the "related collocations” section of the Learning Collocations collection. (2) using a Wikipedia server running at the University of Waikato’s Computer Science Department to retrieve definitions and related topics for each query term.

When a user issues a query, e.g. “economic bubble”, FLAX is doing the following:
(1) Grouping collocation types e.g. noun + noun from the selected corpus (BNC, BAWE, Wikipedia)

(2) If the query term, e.g. “economic bubble" matches an article in Wikipedia, collocations of that article are presented as related collocations, grouped by the keywords of that article. The keywords are ranked using their term frequency–inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) scores.

(3) Retrieves the definition of the query term (normally, the first sentence of the matched article (e.g. the ”economic bubble" article) from the Wikipedia server.

(4) Retrieve related articles for the ”economic bubble” from the Wikipedia server and present as ‘related topics’.
