Portuguese WordNet: general architecture and internal semantic relations

Folheador: browsing through Portuguese semantic relations

This paper presents Folheador, an online service for browsing through Portuguese semantic relations, acquired from different sources. Besides facilitating the exploration of Portuguese lexical knowledge bases, Folheador is connected to services that access Portuguese corpora, which provide authentic examples of the semantic relations in context.

The Automatic Mapping of Princeton WordNet Lexical-Conceptual Relations onto the Brazilian Portuguese WordNet Database

Princeton WordNet (WN.Pr) lexical database has motivated efficient compilations of bulky relational lexicons since its inception in the 1980 ́s. The EuroWordNet project, the first multilingual initiative built upon WN.Pr, opened up ways of building individual wordnets, and interrelating them by means of the so-called Inter-Lingual-Index, an unstructured list of the WN.Pr synsets. Other important...

Wordnet-Based Cross-Language Identification of Semantic Relations

We propose a method for cross-language identification of semantic relations based on word similarity measurement and morphosemantic relations in WordNet. We transfer these relations to pairs of derivationally unrelated words and train a model for automatic classification of new instances of (morpho)semantic relations in context based on the existing ones and the general semantic classes of coll...

Adding Morpho-semantic Relations to the Romanian Wordnet

Keeping pace with other wordnets development, we present the challenges raised by the Romanian derivational system and our methodology for identifying derived words and their stems in the Romanian Wordnet. To attain this aim we rely only on the list of literals in the wordnet and on a list of Romanian affixes; the automatically obtained pairs require automatic and manual validation, based on a ...
