EZ.WordNet: Principles for Automatic Generation of a Coarse Grained WordNet
Rada F. Mihalcea, DAN I. MOLDOVAN · 2001
In this paper, we propose several principles that enable the automatic transformation of WordNet into a coarser grained dictionary, without aecting its existing semantic relations. We derive a new version of WordNet leading to a reduction of 26% in the average polysemy of words, while introducing a small error rate of 2.1%, as measured on a sense tagged corpus.
