We studied type material and freshly collected topotypical specimens to assess the taxonomic status of five names associated with species of Mexican Anolis. We find A. schmidti to be a junior synonym of A. nebulosus, A. breedlovei to be a junior synonym of A. cuprinus, A. polyrhachis to be a junior synonym of A. rubiginosus, A. simmonsi to be a junior synonym of A. nebuloides, and A. adleri to ...

We present a novel framework for word alignment that incorporates synonym knowledge collected from monolingual linguistic resources in a bilingual probabilistic model. Synonym information is helpful for word alignment because we can expect a synonym to correspond to the same word in a different language. We design a generative model for word alignment that uses synonym information as a regulari...

This document reports on the restructuring of the Inter-LingualIndex to provide a more efficient mapping across the wordnets. By adding so-called Composite ILIs that group closely related senses it is possible to connect synsets that cannot be matched otherwise. Status of the abstract Complete

We investigate in this paper the degree of overlap between synonym sets of translated word pairs across three languages: French, English and Romanian. We use for this purpose a French Synonym Dictionary, a Romanian Synonym Dictionary, Princeton’s WordNet and Google Translate API. We build a database containing pairs of (translated) words from the three languages, along with their corresponding ...

Synonym extraction is an important task in natural language processing and often used as a submodule in query expansion, question answering and other applications. Automatic synonym extractor is highly preferred for large scale applications. Previous studies in synonym extraction are most limited to small scale datasets. In this paper, we build a large dataset with 3.4 million synonym/nonsynony...

The authors propose a new synonym between Collaria scenica (senior synonym) and Collaria columbiensis (junior synonym) based on external morphology and genitalia characteristics of male and female adults of both species. There was no significant difference found to believe that they are two different species.
