5 Conclusion and Further Work
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper we have described the current state of the Hinoki treebank. We have further showed how it is being used to develop a language-independent system for acquiring thesauruses from machine-readable dictionaries.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> We are currently concentrating on three tasks.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> The rst is improving the coverage of the grammar, so that we can parse more sentences to a correct parse. The second is improving the knowledge acquisition and learning other information from the parsed de ning sentences  |in particular lexicaltypes, semantic association scores, meronyms, and antonyms. The third task is adding the knowledge of hypernyms into the stochastic model.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> With the improved the grammar and ontology, we will use the knowledge learned to extend our model to words not in Lexeed, using de nition sentences from machine-readable dictionaries or where they appear within normal text. In this way, we can grow an extensible lexicon and thesaurus from Lexeed.</Paragraph>
