Query expansion using lexical-semantic relations

This study tries to find the types of lexical-semantic relations that are effective for query expansion. Fox (1980) had done similar work in this field and concluded that all types of relations are useful except antonyms. This paper attempts to replicate Fox's (1980) work and extend it by study...
