Reserating the awesometastic: An automatic extension of the WordNet taxonomy for novel terms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents CROWN, an automatically constructed extension of WordNet that augments its taxonomy with novel lemmas from Wiktionary. CROWN fills the important gap in WordNet’s lexicon for slang, technical, and rare lemmas, and more than doubles its current size. In two evaluations, we demonstrate that the construction procedure is accurate and has a significant impact on a WordNet-based algorithm encountering novel lemmas.

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 کاملA Graph-Based Algorithm for Inducing Lexical Taxonomies from Scratch
In this paper we present a graph-based approach aimed at learning a lexical taxonomy automatically starting from a domain corpus and the Web. Unlike many taxonomy learning approaches in the literature, our novel algorithm learns both concepts and relations entirely from scratch via the automated extraction of terms, definitions and hypernyms. This results in a very dense, cyclic and possibly di...
متن کاملNTNU: An Unsupervised Knowledge Approach for Taxonomy Extraction
Taxonomy structures are important tools in the science of classification of things or concepts, including the principles that underlie such classification. This paper presents an approach to the problem of taxonomy construction from texts focusing on the hyponym-hypernym relation between two terms. Given a set of terms in a particular domain, the approach in this study uses Wikipedia and WordNe...
متن کاملUsing wikipedia and supersense tagging for semi-automatic complex taxonomy construction
In this paper we propose an unsupervised approach for acquiring domain related conceptual hierarchies from open-domain text. Super Sense Tagging (SST) is used to extract up-level terms and Wikipedia categories and WordNet are employed to construct the rest of taxonomic hierarchy. The result is a complete top-bottom taxonomy for every formal context. We describe both the method we implemented an...
متن کاملSemEval-2015 Task 17: Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation (TExEval)
This paper describes the first shared task on Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation organised as part of SemEval-2015. Participants were asked to find hypernym-hyponym relations between given terms. For each of the four selected target domains the participants were provided with two lists of domainspecific terms: a WordNet collection of terms and a well-known terminology extracted from an online publi...
