“…It was used by wordnets such as the Urdu one (Zafar et al, 2012(Zafar et al, , 2014, whereas the EuroWordNet (Vossen, 1998) is an example of a wordnet using a mixture of both methods. The EuroWordNet also proposed an interlingual index (ILI) (Fellbaum and Vossen, 2008) to tackle concept equivalence between the different languages it contains, whereas Bond et al (2016) propose a collaborative form of the ILI (CILI) to extend it to all other languages.…”

We propose methods to link automatically parsed linguistic data to the WordNet. We apply these methods on a trilingual dictionary in Fula, English and French. Dictionary entry parsing is used to collect the linguistic data. Then we connect it to the Open Multilingual WordNet (OMW) through two attempts, and use confidence scores to quantify accuracy. We obtained 11,000 entries in parsing and linked about 58% to the OMW on the first attempt, and an additional 14% in the second one.

“…Spanish is one of the languages represented in EuroWordNet [27], although its scope is more modest 1 . We have tried three lexical resources in LexSiS: the Spanish Open Thesaurus (SOT), the Spanish EuroWordNet (SWN), and combination of SWN and SOT (SWN+SOT).…”

Abstract. In this paper we study the effect of different lexical resources and strategies for selecting synonyms in a lexical simplification system for the Spanish language. The resources used for the experiments are the Spanish EuroWordNet, the Spanish Open Thesaurus and a combination of both. As for the synonym selection strategies, we have used both local and global contexts for word sense disambiguation. We present a novel evaluation framework in lexical simplification that takes into account the level of ambiguity of the word to be simplified. The evaluation compares various instances of the lexical simplification system, a gold standard, and a baseline. On the basis of our results we recommend different resources and word sense disambiguation methods depending on the ambiguity level of the target word to be simplified.

“…Prolexbase can be compared to EuroWordNet (EWN) (Vossen 1998) and to the Universal Wordnet (UWN) (Melo and Weikum 2009), although both of them are general-purpose wordnets with no particular interest in named entities. All three resources distinguish a language-independent and a language-specific layer.…”

Populating a multilingual ontology of proper names from open sources

Even if proper names play a central role in natural language processing (NLP) applications they are still under-represented in lexicons, annotated corpora, and other resources dedicated to text processing. One of the main challenges is both the prevalence and the dynamicity of proper names. At the same time, large and regularly-updated knowledge sources containing partially-structured data, such as Wikipedia or GeoNames, are publicly available and contain large numbers of proper names. We present a method for a semi-automatic enrichment of Prolexbase, an existing multilingual ontology of proper names dedicated to natural language processing, with data extracted from these open sources in three languages: Polish, English and French. Fine-grained data extraction and integration procedures allow the user to enrich previous contents of Prolexbase with new incoming data. All data are manually validated and available under an open licence.
