Building a free French wordnet from multilingual resources
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 bilingual approach sufficed to acquire equivalents for monosemous words. Bilingual lexicons were extracted from Wikipedia and thesauri. The results obtained from each resource were merged and ranked according to the number of resources yielding the same literal. Automatic evaluation of the merged wordnet was performed with the French WordNet (FREWN). Manual evaluation was also carried out on a sample of the generated synsets. Precision shows that the presented approach has proved to be very promising and applications to use the created wordnet are already intended.

Wordnet 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 کاملApplying cross-lingual WSD to wordnet development
The automatic development of semantic resources constitutes an important challenge in the NLP community. The methods used generally exploit existing large-scale resources, such as Princeton WordNet, often combined with information extracted from multilingual resources and parallel corpora. In this paper, we show how Cross-Lingual Word Sense Disambiguation can be applied to wordnet development. ...

This project report presents the results of an approach in which synsets for Slovene wordnet were induced automatically from parallel corpora and already existing wordnets. First, multilingual lexicons were obtained from word-aligned corpora and compared to the wordnets in various languages in order to disambiguate lexicon entries. Then appropriate synset ids were attached to Slovene entries fr...

This paper outlines the creation of the Wordnet Bahasa as a resource for the study of lexical semantics in the Malay language. It is created by combining information from several lexical resources: the French-English-Malay dictionary FEM, the KAmus MelayuInggeris KAMI, and wordnets for English, French and Chinese. Construction went through three steps: (i) automatic building of word candidates;...
متن کاملMapping Roget's Thesaurus and WordNet to French
Roget’s Thesaurus and WordNet are very widely used lexical reference works. We describe an automatic mapping procedure that effectively produces French translations of the terms in these two resources. Our approach to the challenging task of disambiguation is based on structural statistics as well as measures of semantic relatedness that are utilized to learn a classification model for associat...
