Sentence examples similar to hyponym from inspiring English sources

By looking for known hyponym-hypernym pairs in close proximity, Hearst was able to expand the initial set of extraction patterns and hence the set of hypotheses.

For example, extraction patterns that look for noun phrases separated by "such as" or "and other" will match word sequences like "seabirds such as penguins and albatrosses" or "beans, nuts, and other legumes", leading to hypotheses that seabird is a hypernym of penguin and albatross, and that beans and nuts are hyponyms of legumes.
