    Mikhail Belkin and I are working along lines that might interest you --
    we're primarily interested in learning from very raw corpora. We have a
    paper on building a two-dimensional representation -- a map, so to speak
    -- for words in a corpus, based on the distribution of words adjacent to
    them.

    We have a preliminary report at

    Subject: Corpora: Syntactic/Phonologic network?

    I know of several attempts to build sematic networks according
    to semantic relations between words (e.g. cyc, WordNet). Are there
    attempts to do the same for syntactic or phonological information? (e.g.
    "send" will be close to "convince" syntactically because both are
    ditransitive verbs.
    "fish" and "wish" are similar phonologically)
    Thanks,
