Discovering Fuzzy Synsets from the Redundancy in Different Lexical-Semantic Resources
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although represented as such in wordnets, word senses are not discrete. To handle word senses as fuzzy objects, we exploit the graph structure of synonymy pairs acquired from different sources to discover synsets where words have different membership degrees that reflect confidence. Following this approach, a wide-coverage fuzzy thesaurus was discovered from a synonymy network compiled from seven Portuguese lexical-semantic resources. Based on a crowdsourcing evaluation, we can say that the quality of the obtained synsets is far from perfect but, as expected in a confidence measure, it increases significantly for higher cut-points on the membership and, at a certain point, reaches 100% correction rate.

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 کاملBeyond the automatic construction of a lexical ontology for Portuguese: resources developed in the scope of Onto.PT
Besides the lexical ontology itself, during the Onto.PT project other resources were developed. Those included handcrafted grammars for extracting semantic relations, a term-based lexicalsemantic network extracted from dictionaries, a thesaurus with fuzzy memberships, polarities assigned to the Onto.PT synsets, as well as resources used for evaluation, such as manual mappings between words and ...
متن کاملFrom the People’s Synonym Dictionary to fuzzy synsets – first steps
We present our ongoing work on creating fuzzy synsets for Swedish using the lexical resources Synlex and SALDO. Synlex is a graded synonym list created by asking members of the public – users of an online Swedish-English dictionary – to judge the degree of synonymy of a random, automatically generated synonym pair candidate. SALDO is a full-scale Swedish lexical-semantic resource with non-class...
متن کاملFuzzy Synsets, and Lexicon-Based Sentiment Analysis
One of the widely used approaches to Sentiment Analysis (SA) is lexicon-based approach that depends on sentiment-annotated lexical resources (such as SentiWordNet (SWN)). A broad variety of such resources are Synsetbased Lexical Databases (SLDs) (e.g. SWN is based on WordNet (WN)) and represent sentiment degrees of synonym groups of LDs, called “synsets.” However, synsets themselves were open t...
متن کاملMapping Persian Words to WordNet Synsets
Lexical ontologies are one of the main resources for developing natural language processing and semantic web applications. Mapping lexical ontologies of different languages is very important for inter-lingual tasks. On the other hand mapping approaches can be implied to build lexical ontologies for a new language based on pre-existing resources of other languages. In this paper we propose a sem...
