“…Other experiments of automatically building wordnets that we are aware of are (Atserias et al, 1997) and (Lee et al, 2000). They combine several methods, using monolingual and bilingual dictionaries for obtaining a Spanish Wordnet and, respectively, a Korean one starting from PWN 1.5.…”

In what follows we will present a two-phase methodology for automatically building a wordnet (that we call target wordnet) strictly aligned with an already available wordnet (source wordnet). In the first phase the synsets for the target language are automatically generated and mapped onto the source language synsets using a series of heuristics. In the second phase the salient relations that can be automatically imported are identified and the procedure for their import is explained. The assumptions behind such methodology will be stated, the heuristics employed will be presented and their success evaluated against a case study (automatically building a Romanian wordnet using PWN).

“…In this case, wordnets in other languages are aligned with the PWN using the semantic relations in each and translations from a bilingual dictionary [13] and [2]. Although this type of alignment is cross-lingual, we used similar techniques for Cornetto but in a monolingual context and using less semantic relations.…”

IntroductionOne of the goals of the STEVIN programme is the realisation of a digital infrastructure that will enforce the position of the Dutch language in the modern information and communication technology. A semantic database for Dutch is a crucial component for this infrastructure for three reasons: (1) it enables the development of semantic web applications on top of knowledge and information expressed in Dutch, (2) it provides people with access to information systems and services through their native Dutch language and (3) it will connect the Dutch language to the semantic P.

Abstract-A bilingual concept lexicon is of significance for Information Extraction (IE), Machine Translation (MT), Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) and the like. Myanmar-English Bilingual WordNet like Lexicon (MEBWL) is developed to fulfill the requirements of Language Acquisition (LA). However, it is reasonably difficult to build such a lexicon is quite challenging in time and cost consuming. To overcome this challenging, this paper integrates linguistic resources, including Myanmar-English dictionary, English-Myanmar dictionary and WordNet to construct a Myanmar-English WordNet like lexicon by acquiring the lexical and conceptual knowledge from WordNet and Myanmar<->English Machine Readable Dictionaries (MRDs). The system includes three phases which include the MRD extraction phase, the link analyzing phase and the WordNet construction phase. The first phase converts the data from multiple resources with different format into a common format and joins and aligns the scattered data for smoothly access and group the data according their part of speech (POS). The link analyzing phase analyzes, classifies and generates candidates of translation links. In the constructing phase, MEBWL is constructed from the verified translation link and WordNet. Beside then, to support the inflected word of Myanmar to English words, morphological processor is designed.
