Enriching Estonian WordNet with Derivations and Semantic Relations
Neeme Kahusk, Kadri Kerner, Kadri Vider · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2010
In this paper we describe the work on extending Estonian WordNet with synsets that are automatically generated using derivational suffixes. Almost all of the action nouns and agent nouns derived from verbs are missing from Estonian Wordnet. While annotating texts with word senses in Estonian Wordnet it became clear that words with these suffixes are quite frequent in texts and should be included into the Estonian Wordnet. Also, it is possible to automatically adapt some semantic relations between verbs.
