Semiautomatic creation of taxonomies
Javier Farreres, Horacio Rodríguez, Karina Gibert · 2002
In this paper we face the automatic construction of a lexical taxonomy for the Spanish language using as input a taxonomy of English (WordNet) and a set of bilingual (English/Spanish) resources.Although applied to Spanish/English our method claims to be general enough to be applied in the cases a skeletal taxonomy already exists and we dispose of methods for mapping items to this taxonomy with known confidence scores.
