Plans for editing the Semantic Bootstrapping Page
[edit]- The existing definition of the Semantic Bootstrapping on the Bootstrapping (linguistics) page seems to be too general, it could be lengthened and elaborated more in detail.
- Examples such as experiments done by researchers to prove the concept of Semantic Bootstrapping could be added.
- The opposing view of Semantic Bootstrapping could be added.
