Mapping WordNet synsets to Wikipedia articles

چکیده
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 for evaluation purposes. The automatic methods are shown to create mappings with precision of 87.8% and recall of 46.9%. These mappings can then be used as a basis for enriching WordNet with new relations based on Wikipedia links. The manual and automatically created data is available online.

Aligning WordNet Synsets and Wikipedia Articles
This paper examines the problem of finding articles in Wikipedia to match noun synsets in WordNet. The motivation is that these articles enrich the synsets with much more information than is already present in WordNet. Two methods are used. The first is title matching, following redirects and disambiguation links. The second is information retrieval over the set of articles. The methods are eva...
متن کاملLearning the semantics of Wikipedia hyperlinks
I claim that hyperlinks in Wikipedia entries often correspond to semantic relationships between concepts, described by the entries. This bachelor’s thesis discusses supervised methods to automatically identify new links that correspond to a given relation (hyper-/or hyponymy). Training data is collected by mapping Wikipedia articles to WordNet synsets and then marking links where a relation bet...
متن کاملAligning Sense Inventories in Wikipedia and WordNet
In this paper, we study the alignment of Wikipedia articles and WordNet synsets. Therefore, we propose a method to convert Wikipedia to a sense inventory. We show that an aligned sense inventory of both resources has two major benefits: the coverage of senses can be increased and enhanced information about aligned senses can be obtained. Our study and conclusions are based on human annotations ...
متن کاملThe People's Web meets Linguistic Knowledge: Automatic Sense Alignment of Wikipedia and WordNet
We propose a method to automatically alignWordNet synsets andWikipedia articles to obtain a sense inventory of higher coverage and quality. For eachWordNet synset, we first extract a set of Wikipedia articles as alignment candidates; in a second step, we determine which article (if any) is a valid alignment, i.e. is about the same sense or concept. In this paper, we go significantly beyond stat...
متن کاملMapping WordNet Instances to Wikipedia
Lexical resource differ from encyclopaedic resources and represent two distinct types of resource covering general language and named entities respectively. However, many lexical resources, including Princeton WordNet, contain many proper nouns, referring to named entities in the world yet it is not possible or desirable for a lexical resource to cover all named entities that may reasonably occ...
