Reserating the awesometastic: An automatic extension of the WordNet taxonomy for novel terms
David Jurgens, Mohammad Taher Pilehvar · 2015
This paper presents CROWN, an automatically con-structed extension of WordNet that augments its taxonomy with novel lemmas from Wiktionary. CROWN fills the important gap in WordNet’s lexi-con for slang, technical, and rare lemmas, and more than doubles its current size. In two evaluations, we demonstrate that the construction procedure is accu-rate and has a significant impact on a WordNet-based algorithm encountering novel lemmas. 1
