Extending Wordnets To Implicit Information
نویسنده
چکیده
WordNets mostly deal with lexicalized expressions and lexical-semantic relations among them. Concepts are represented by sets of synonyms (synsets), which constitute the edges of the network. Each synset includes the lexicalized expressions that correspond to a given concept. This paper adduces evidences which support the claim that some concepts, expressed by a subtype of complex telic predicates, are semi-lexicalized, in the sense that the lexicalized expressions corresponding to them do not express, let us say, the whole concept. Since concepts are the basic units of WordNets, they have to be fully represented. Accordingly, a representation which includes the non-lexicalized information is defended. Besides, a new internal semantic relation is proposed, in order to capture appropriately the relationship between the semantics of these predicates and the semantics of their troponyms.

متن کاملLinking and Extending an Open Multilingual Wordnet
We create an open multilingual wordnet with large wordnets for over 26 languages and smaller ones for 57 languages. It is made by combining wordnets with open licences, data from Wiktionary and the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository. Overall there are over 2 million senses for over 100 thousand concepts, linking over 1.4 million words in hundreds of languages.

This article deals with the question whether metaphors might be integrated into WordNets in a more systematic way. After outlining the advantages of having more information on metaphors in WordNets, it presents the Hamburg Metaphor Database and a possible method for integrating metaphors and corresponding equivalence relations into monolingual WordNets. Finally, problems are discussed that will...
متن کاملWordnet creation and extension made simple: A multilingual lexicon-based approach using wiki resources
In this paper, we propose a simple methodology for building or extending wordnets using easily extractible lexical knowledge from Wiktionary and Wikipedia. This method relies on a large multilingual translation/synonym graph in many languages as well as synset-aligned wordnets. It guesses frequent and polysemous literals that are difficult to find using other methods by looking at back-translat...
متن کاملCleaning noisy wordnets
Automatic approaches to creating and extending wordnets, which have become very popular in the past decade, inadvertently result in noisy synsets. This is why we propose an approach to detect synset outliers in order to eliminate the noise and improve accuracy of the developed wordnets, so that they become more useful lexico-semantic resources for natural language applications. The approach com...
