Title Applying cross-lingual WSD to wordnet development
Authors Marianna Apidianaki and Benoît Sagot
Abstract 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. We apply the proposed method to WOLF, a free wordnet for French still under construction, in order to fill synsets that did not contain any literal yet and increase its coverage.
Topics Lexicon, lexical database, Semantics, Word Sense Disambiguation
