Abstract :
Making good use of semantics can help language understanding, thus can improve retrieve performance, getting more highly-ranked, relevant documents. Word families in Tibetan language can provide unexpected light on the Tibetan semantic world. We propose semantic categories between Tibetan nouns, which considered the relationship between the nouns and others. We propose an algorithm to calculate the semantic similarities of those nouns and to organize the meaning classes automatically from Tibetan-Chinese dictionary.
