Considerations of linking WordNet with MRD
Changhua Yang, Sue J. Ker · 2002
This paper introduces a bilingual MRD (English-Chinese LDOCE) to help with the construction of a Chinese WordNet. Considerable linking strategies are discussed and proper translations are attached to 28,388 noun synsets and 10,380 verb synsets of WN 1.7 automatically. The steady precision (92~94%) shows the corresponding headwords and matching keywords provide considerable guarantee for linking. The Chinese phrases need to be processed further to match the correct synset due to the fine-grained senses of WordNet.
