Knowledge about attributes, which tells us from what viewpoints objects are usually understood or described, is one of such type of knowledge. For example, the attributes of car objects will be weight, engine, steering wheel, driving feel, and manufacturer. In other words, attributes are items whose values we want to know when we want to know about the object. More analytically, we tend to regard A as an attribute for objects of class C when A works as if function v = A(o), o \u2208 C where v is necessary to us to identify o (especially to distinguish o from o ( = o) \u2208 C). Therefore, obvious applications of attributes are ones such as summarization [1, 2] and question-answering [3] . Moreover, they can be useful as features in word clustering [4] or machine learning. Although the knowledge base for attributes can be prepared manually (e.g., WordNet [5] ), problems are cost and coverage. To overcome these, we propose a method that automatically acquires attribute knowledge from the Web.",

Highly scored words are output as attributes for the class. Lexico-syntactic patterns and other statistics have been used in other lexical knowledge acquisition systems [3, 4, 6, 7, 8] . We specifically used lexico-syntactic patterns involving the Japanese postposition \"no\" as used in [8] such as \"C no A\" where A is an attribute word, which is almost equivalent to pattern \"A of C\" used in [7] to find part-whole relations. Novel features of our method are its use of Web search engines to focus on documents highly relevant to the class and its use of statistics concerning attribute words and surrounding HTML tags.",

In this paper, we propose a simple but effective definition of attributes that matches our motivation and applications, i.e., whether we can ask a question about the attribute and whether there is an answer to that question (question answerability). For example, one can ask as \"Who is the manufacturer of this car?\", and someone might answer \"Honda\", because we want to know the manufacturer when we concerned about cars. We designed a procedure for evaluating attributes based on this idea. As the literature points out [9, 10] , attributes can include many types of relations such as property (e.g., weight ), part-of (e.g., engine), telic (e.g., driving feel ), and agentive (e.g., manufacturer ). However, we ignored type distinctions in this study. First, because attributes are useful even if the type is not known, and second, because defining attributes as one of these types and evaluating them only complicates the evaluation process, making the results unstable. The use of linguistic tests to define attributes is not that new. Woods [11] devised a test on whether we can say \"The A of o is v.\" Although we followed this procedure, we focused more on attributes that are important for our understanding of an object by using question-answerability as our criterion.",

Therefore, if A is an attribute of objects of class C, we can arrange questions (consisting of A and C) that require the values for A as the answer. Then someone should be able to answer the questions. For example, we can ask \"Who is the director of this movie?\" because director is an attribute of movie. The answer might be someone such as \"Stanley Kubrick.\" We designed the QA test shown in Fig. 2 to assess the correctness of attribute A for class C based on this criterion. Several points should be noted. First, since the value for the attribute is actually defined for the object instance (i.e., v = A(o), o \u2208 C), we should qualify class label C using \"kono (this)\" to refer to an object instance of class C. Second, since we cannot know what question is possible for A beforehand, we generate all the question types listed in Fig. 2 and ask whether any of them are acceptable. Third, the question should be natural as well as grammatically correct. Naturalness was explained to the evaluators as positively determining whether the question can be their first choice in usual conversations. In our point of view, attributes should be important items for people in describing objects. We assumed that attributes that conformed to the naturalness criterion would be such important attributes. For example, stapler is not an attribute of company in our sense, although almost all companies own stapler s. Our naturalness criterion can reflect this observation since the question \"What is the stapler of this company?\" is unnatural as a first question when talking about a company, and therefore we can successfully conclude that stapler is not an attribute. Note that Woods' linguistic test [11] (i.e., whether \"the attribute of an object is a value\" can be stated or not) cannot reject stapler since it does not have the naturalness requirement (e.g., we can say \"the stapler of [used by] SONY is Stapler-X\"). 5 In addition, note that such importances can be assessed more easily in the QA test, since questioners basically ask what they think is important at least at the time of utterance. However, we cannot expect such an implication even though the declarative sentence is acceptable.",

This often occurs since Japanese is very elliptic and our method is restricted to single word attributes. For example, the word seito (students) can be used to represent the attribute seito suu (number of students) as in the sentence below. These attributes whose parts are elided (e.g., seito representing seito suu) are also useful since they are actually used in sentences as in the above example. Therefore, they should be assessed as correct attributes in some way. Although the most appropriate question for seito representing seito suu is (6) in Fig. 2 , it is unfortunately ungrammatical since ikutu cannot be used for the number of persons. Therefore, seito representing seito suu will fail the QA test. 6 In Japanese, most of the elided parts can be restored by adding appropriate suffixes (as \"suu\" (number of) in the previous example) or by adding \"no\" + nominalized adjectives. Thus, when the attribute word failed the first QA test, we asked the evaluators to re-do the QA test by choosing an appropriate suffix or a nominalized adjective from the list of allowed augmentations and adding it to the end of the evaluated word.

An example is subtitle for the class movie. Strictly speaking, subtitle is not an attribute of all movies, since all movies do not necessarily have subtitles. For example, only foreign films have subtitles in Japan. However, we think this attribute is also useful in practice for people who have a keen interest in foreign films. Thus, the evaluators were asked whether the attribute was common for most instances of the class when the attribute was judged to be correct in the QA test. We call attributes that passed this generality test general attributes, and those that failed but passed the QA test relaxed attributes (note that general attributes is a subset of relaxed attributes). We compare the accuracies for the relaxed and general attributes in the experiments. 6 Seito (representing students) might pass the QA test with question type (2) in Fig. 2. However, this is not always the case since some evaluators will judge the question to be unnatural. 7 Postposition \"no (of)\" before the suffix is also allowed to be added if it makes the question more natural. 8 The problem here might not occur if we used many more question types in the first QA test.

This may be caused by the difference in the number of documents available (As we previously described, we currently cannot obtain a large number of documents from the Web). The effect df idf (C, A) had was two-fold. This contributed positively at lower ranks but it contributed negatively at higher ranks (around the top 1-5).

Moreover, these methods did not utilize the statistics for words or lexico-syntactic patterns as ours did. Takahashi et al. [8] extracted triples (object, attribute, value) from newspaper articles using lexico-syntactic patterns and statistical scores. However, they focused only on proper nouns and selected the attribute candidates manually. Freishmann et al. [3] extracted attribute-value pairs with a high degree of precision by filtering the candidates extracted with lexico-syntactic patterns by using a model learned with supervised learning. Although this approach is promising, their method was limited to person names and we must prepare training data to apply the method to other types of objects.",
