Latent semantic network induction in the context of linked example senses (D19-55)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using the Princeton WordNet, we construct a network using the entirety of Wiktionary. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Wiktionary to construct a wordnet using the entirety of the open-source dictionary. |
| Outcome: | The proposed network induction process is similar to the Princeton WordNet, but with a more data-driven approach. |

| Challenge: | Word Sense Disambiguiation and Word sense Induction are considered independent problems, but they are often neglected in practice. |
| Approach: | They propose an unsupervised task of learning a soft clustering amongwords that defines a set of concepts directly from data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach leverages both a local and global cross-lexicon view to induce concepts and also senses in the context of the proposed task. |
Automatic Wordnet Mapping: from CoreNet to Princeton WordNet (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing mappings focus on identifying the semantic categories of CoreNet, but not the word senses. |
| Approach: | They propose to map the word senses of CoreNet into Princeton WordNet synsets by lexical relations by a taxonomy. |
| Outcome: | The proposed mapping bridging the gap between CoreNet and WordNet shows that the word senses of CoreNet are mapped with precision of 91.2%. |
