Thus no edges will be induced to connect them in the co-occurrence graph, which indicates they are not highly related while "Hurricane Andrew" is an instance of "disaster".
As shown in the example document in Fig. 1, although the distance between "disaster" and "Hurricane Andrew" in the document is large, it is easy to add an edge between them if we know "Hurricane Andrew" is an instance of "disaster" according to their semantic relation.

We understand disasters to be major instances of negative change, whether acute or gradual; disaster risk reflects the possibility of negative change; and disaster risk management describes the process of dealing with possible negative changes.
As the human and economic costs of hurricane Sandy become clearer, the need to take action on climate change and avoid many more instances of such extreme weather-related disasters has never been more pressing".
