Using a Bilingual Resource to Add Synonyms to a Wordnet: FinnWordNet and Wikipedia as an Example
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a simple method for finding new synonym candidates for a bilingual wordnet by using another bilingual resource. Our goal is to add new synonyms to the existing synsets of the Finnish WordNet, which has direct word sense translation correspondences to the Princeton WordNet. For this task, we use Wikipedia and its links between the articles of the same topic in Finnish and English. One of the automatically extracted groups of synonyms yielded ca. 2,000 synonyms with 89 % accuracy.

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 کاملModel-Portability Experiments for Textual Temporal Analysis
We explore a semi-supervised approach for improving the portability of time expression recognition to non-newswire domains: we generate additional training examples by substituting temporal expression words with potential synonyms. We explore using synonyms both from WordNet and from the Latent Words Language Model (LWLM), which predicts synonyms in context using an unsupervised approach. We ev...
متن کاملDo wordnets also improve human performance on NLP tasks?
FinnWordNet is a wordnet for Finnish that complies with the format of the Princeton WordNet (PWN) (Fellbaum, 1998). It was built by translating the Princeton WordNet 3.0 synsets into Finnish by human translators. It is open source and contains 117000 synsets. The Finnish translations were inserted into the PWN structure resulting in a bilingual lexical database. In natural language processing (...
متن کاملBuilding a free French wordnet from multilingual resources
This paper describes automatic construction a freely-available wordnet for French (WOLF) based on Princeton WordNet (PWN) by using various multilingual resources. Polysemous words were dealt with an approach in which a parallel corpus for five languages was word-aligned and the extracted multilingual lexicon was disambiguated with the existing wordnets for these languages. On the other hand, a ...
متن کاملRepresenting the Translation Relation in a Bilingual Wordnet
This paper describes representing translations in the Finnish wordnet, FinnWordNet (FiWN), and constructing the FiWN database. FiWN was created by translating all the word senses of the Princeton WordNet (PWN) into Finnish and by joining the translations with the semantic and lexical relations of PWN extracted into a relational (database) format. The approach naturally resulted in a translation...
