Bootstrapping a Portuguese WordNet from Galician, Spanish and English Wordnets

چکیده
In this article we exploit the possibility on bootstrapping an European Portuguese WordNet from the English, Spanish and Galician wordnets using Probabilistic Translation Dictionaries automatically created from parallel corpora. The process generated a total of 56 770 synsets and 97 058 variants. An evaluation of the results using the Brazilian OpenWordNet-PT as a gold standard resulted on a precision varying from 53% to 75% percent, depending on the cut-line. The results were satisfying and comparable to similar experiments using the WN-Toolkit.

This paper describes the upgrading process of the Multilingual Central Repository (MCR). The new MCR uses WordNet 3.0 as Interlingual-Index (ILI). Now, the current version of the MCR integrates in the same EuroWordNet framework wordnets from five different languages: English, Spanish, Catalan, Basque and Galician. In order to provide ontological coherence to all the integrated wordnets, the MCR...
متن کاملEnriching a Portuguese WordNet using Synonyms from a Monolingual Dictionary
In this article we present an exploratory approach to enrich a WordNet-like lexical ontology with the synonyms present in a standard monolingual Portuguese dictionary. The dictionary was converted from PDF into XML and senses were automatically identified and annotated. This allowed us to extract them, independently of definitions, and to create sets of synonyms (synsets). These synsets were th...

In this paper we present the evaluation results for the creation of WordNets for five languages (Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese) using an approach based on parallel corpora. We have used three very large parallel corpora for our experiments: DGT-TM, EMEA and ECB. The English part of each corpus is semantically tagged using Freeling and UKB. After this step, the process of WordN...

This paper presents two experiments with real world applications of word sense disambiguation, wordnets and dependency parsing. The first is an effort towards a portuguese wordnet annotated corpus. We manually annotated 30 sentences using OpenWordNet-PT as a lexicon and then compared the results with an automatic annotation. In addition to the system’s evaluation, the results provided valuable ...
