Towards Automatic Evaluation of Wordnet Synsets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increasing and varied applications of wordnets call for the creation of methods to evaluate their quality. However, no such comprehensive methods to rate and compare wordnets exist. We begin our search for wordnet evaluation strategies by attempting to validate synsets. As synonymy forms the basis of synsets, we present an algorithm based on dictionary definitions to verify that the words present in a synset are indeed synonymous. Of specific interest are synsets in which some members “do not belong”. Our work, thus, is an attempt to flag human lexicographers’ errors by accumulating evidences from myriad lexical sources.

Automatic Construction of Persian ICT WordNet using Princeton WordNet
WordNet is a large lexical database of English language, in which, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets). Each synset expresses a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by both semantic and lexical relations. WordNet is essentially used for word sense disambiguation, information retrieval, and text translation. In this paper, we propose s...
متن کاملAutomatic Evaluation of Wordnet Synonyms and Hypernyms
In recent times, wordnets have become indispensable resources for Natural Language Processing. However, the creation of wordnets is a time consuming and manpower intensive proposition. This fact has led to attempts at quickly fixing a wordnet using text repositories such as the web and certain corpora, and also by translating an existing wordnet into another language. However, the results of su...
متن کاملAssigning Polarity Automatically to the Synsets of a Wordnet-like Resource
This article describes work towards the automatic creation of a conceptual polarity lexicon for Portuguese. For this purpose, we take advantage of a polarity lexicon based on single lemmas to assign polarities to the synsets of a wordnet-like resource. We assume that each synset has the polarity of the majority of its lemmas, given by the initial lexicon. After that, polarity is propagated to o...
متن کاملMapping WordNet synsets to Wikipedia articles
Lexical knowledge bases (LKBs), such as WordNet, have been shown to be useful for a range of language processing tasks. Extending these resources is an expensive and time-consuming process. This paper describes an approach to address this problem by automatically generating a mapping from WordNet synsets to Wikipedia articles. A sample of synsets has been manually annotated with article matches...
متن کاملTowards the Automatic Creation of a Wordnet from a Term-Based Lexical Network
The work described here aims to create a wordnet automatically from a semantic network based on terms. So, a clustering procedure is ran over a synonymy network, in order to obtain synsets. Then, the term arguments of each relational triple are assigned to the latter, originating a wordnet. Experiments towards our goal are reported and their results validated.
