Word Association Thesaurus As a Resource for Building WordNet
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of the present paper is to report on the on-going research for applying psycholinguistic resources to building a WordNet-like lexicon of the Russian language. We are to survey different kinds of the linguistic data that can be extracted from a Word Association Thesaurus, a resource representing the results of a largescaled free association test. In addition, we will give a comparison of Word Association Thesaurus and other language resources applied to wordnet constructing (e.g. text corpora, explanatory dictionaries) from the viewpoint of the quality and quantity of information they supply the researcher with.

Roget's Thesaurus as a Lexical Resource for Natural Language Processing
WordNet proved that it is possible to construct a large-scale electronic lexical database on the principles of lexical semantics. It has been accepted and used extensively by computational linguists ever since it was released. Some of its applications include information retrieval, language generation, question answering, text categorization, text classification and word sense disambiguation. I...
متن کاملBuilding A Chinese WordNet Via Class-Based Translation Model
Semantic lexicons are indispensable to research in lexical semantics and word sense disambiguation (WSD). For the study of WSD for English text, researchers have been using different kinds of lexicographic resources, including machine readable dictionaries (MRDs), machine readable thesauri, and bilingual corpora. In recent years, WordNet has become the most widely used resource for the study of...
متن کاملForming an Integrated Lexical Resource for Word Sense Disambiguation
This paper reports a full-scale linkage of noun senses between two existing lexical resources, namely WordNet and Roget's Thesaurus, to form an Integrated Lexical Resource (ILR) for use in natural language processing (NLP). The linkage was founded on a structurally-based sense-mapping algorithm. About 18,000 nouns with over 30,000 senses were mapped. Although exhaustive verification is impracti...
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...
متن کاملMeasuring Semantic Distance using Distributional Profiles of Concepts
Automatic measures of semantic distance can be classified into two kinds: (1) those, such as WordNet, that rely on the structure of manually created lexical resources and (2) those that rely only on co-occurrence statistics from large corpora. Each kind has inherent strengths and limitations. Here we present a hybrid approach that combines corpus statistics with the structure of a Roget-like th...
