Semi-automatic WordNet Linking using Word Embeddings

چکیده
Wordnets are rich lexico-semantic resources. Linked wordnets are extensions of wordnets, which link similar concepts in wordnets of different languages. Such resources are extremely useful in many Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, primarily those based on knowledge-based approaches. In such approaches, these resources are considered as gold standard/oracle. Thus, it is crucial that these resources hold correct information. Thereby, they are created by human experts. However, manual maintenance of such resources is a tedious and costly affair. Thus techniques that can aid the experts are desirable. In this paper, we propose an approach to link wordnets. Given a synset of the source language, the approach returns a ranked list of potential candidate synsets in the target language from which the human expert can choose the correct one(s). Our technique is able to retrieve a winner synset in the top 10 ranked list for 60% of all synsets and 70% of noun synsets.

Automatic Community Creation for Abstractive Spoken Conversations Summarization
Summarization of spoken conversations is a challenging task, since it requires deep understanding of dialogs. Abstractive summarization techniques rely on linking the summary sentences to sets of original conversation sentences, i.e. communities. Unfortunately, such linking information is rarely available or requires trained annotators. We propose and experiment automatic community creation usi...
متن کاملAutomatic 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 کاملEnhancing Automatic Wordnet Construction Using Word Embeddings
Researchers have shown that a wordnet for a new language, possibly resource-poor, can be constructed automatically by translating wordnets of resource-rich languages. The quality of these constructed wordnets is affected by the quality of the resources used such as dictionaries and translation methods in the construction process. Recent work shows that vector representation of words (word embed...
متن کاملAutomatic WordNet Mapping Using Word Sense Disambiguation
This paper presents the automatic construction of a Korean WordNet from pre-existing lexical resources. A set of automatic WSD techniques is described for linking Korean words collected from a bilingual MRD to English WordNet synsets. We will show how individual linking provided by each WSD method is then combined to produce a Korean WordNet for nouns.
متن کاملMerging Verb Senses of Hindi WordNet using Word Embeddings
In this paper, we present an approach for merging fine-grained verb senses of Hindi WordNet. Senses are merged based on gloss similarity score. We explore the use of word embeddings for gloss similarity computation and compare with various WordNet based gloss similarity measures. Our results indicate that word embeddings show significant improvement over WordNet based measures. Consequently, we...
متن کاملInjecting Word Embeddings with Another Language's Resource : An Application of Bilingual Embeddings
Word embeddings learned from text corpus can be improved by injecting knowledge from external resources, while at the same time also specializing them for similarity or relatedness. These knowledge resources (like WordNet, Paraphrase Database) may not exist for all languages. In this work we introduce a method to inject word embeddings of a language with knowledge resource of another language b...
