This paper describes the process of automatically adding synsets and hypernymy relations to an existing wordnet based on word embeddings computed for POStagged lemmas in a large news corpus, achieving exact match attachment accuracy of over 80%.The reported experiments are based on the Norwegian Wordnet, but the method is language independent and also applicable to other wordnets.Moreover, this study also represents the first documented experiments of the Norwegian Wordnet.
