What Psycholinguists Know About Chemistry: Aligning Wiktionary and WordNet for Increased Domain Coverage
Christian M. Meyer, Iryna Gurevych · TUbilio (Technical University of Darmstadt) · 2011
By today, no lexical resource can claim to be fully comprehensive or perform best for every NLP task. This caused a steep increase of resource alignment research. An important challenge is thereby the alignment of differently represented word senses, which we address in this paper. In particular, we propose a new automatically aligned resource of Wiktionary and Word-Net that has (i) a very high domain cov-erage of word senses and (ii) an enriched sense representation, including pronunci-ations, etymologies, translations, etc. We evaluate our alignment both quantitatively and qualitatively, and explore how it can contribute to practical tasks. 1
