A tool for investigating the synonymy relation in a sense disambiguated thesaurus
Martin S. Chodorow, Yael Ravin, Howard E. Sachar · 1988
This paper describes an exploration of the implicit synonymy relationship expressed by synonym lists in an on-line thesaurus. A series of automatic steps was taken to properly constrain this relationship. The resulting groupings of semantically related word senses are believed to constitute a useful tool for natural language processing and for work in lexicography.
