(2015) have claimed that these methods may learn whether a term y is a prototypical hypernym, regardless of its actual relation with a term x. In this paper we further investigate and revise ROOT13 (Santus et al., 2016b) , a supervised method based on a Random Forest algorithm and thirteen corpus-based features.
