The problem has recently been receiving attention from researchers in the field of natural language processing. So far, fairly-effective methods for hypernymy detection in English have been reported. Studies of hypernymy detection in Vietnamese have not been reported yet. In this study, we applied a number of hypernymy detection methods based on word embeddings and supervised learning for Vietnamese. We propose an improvement on the method given by Luu Tuan Anh et al. (2016) by weighting context words proportionally to the semantic similarity between them and the hypernym. Based on Vietnamese WordNet, three datasets for hypernymy detection were built. Experimental results showed that our proposal can increase the efficiency from 8\% to 10\% in terms of accuracy compared to the original method.} }
