  1. WordNet Enhancements: Toward Version 2.0 George A. Miller Christiane Fellbaum Princeton University

  2. Maintenance of WordNet • WordNet version 1.7.1 is being downloaded at the rate of 100 copies per week. • Users Group was supported and queries answered. • Coverage increased by 2,600 to a total of 142,600 words or word strings. Many new words are related to terrorism.

  3. Connectivity of WordNet • Disambiguation of definitions. • Morphosemantic links among nouns and verbs to be extended to adjectives. • Bidirectional links among synsets based on topic/semantic domain, geographical relation, or usage.

  4. Disambiguation of Definitions • Procedure: link nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs in definitions to the context-appropriate synsets • Steps: --Definition of stoplist --Pre-processing --Automatic insertion of links where possible (as for monosemous words) • Currently testing an application allowing manual insertion of links.

  5. Making the Semantic Information in the Definitions Available as Searchable Corpus • XML markup notation • General structure allowing for different kinds of WN synset annotation --Princeton-defined annotation is gloss markup --Users can define own annotations, adhering to Princeton’s general structure

  6. General Structure of Markup <wordnet ver=“1.7.1”> <synset pos=“n” ofs=“…”> (offset) <gloss desc=“wsd”> <aux>…</aux> <def>…</def> <ex>…</ex> <\gloss> optional user-defined synset markup ex. <gloss desc=“parse”>…</gloss> ex. <user-defined>…</user-defined> </synset> </wordnet>

  7. Markup for a Tagged Gloss grow, raise, farm, produce – (cultivate by growing, often involving improvements by means of agricultural techniques; “We raise hogs here”) <def> <wf tag=“auto” lemma=“cultivate%2” sk=“2:36:00::”>cultivate</wf> <wf tag=“ignore”>by</wf> <wf tag=“man” lemma=“grow%2” sk=“2:36:00::”>growing</wf> <wf tag=“ignore” type=“punc”>,</wf> <wf tag=“man” lemma=“often%4” sk=“4:02:00::”>often</wf> <wf tag=“man” lemma=“involve%2” sk=“2:42:00::”>involving</wf> <wf tag=“man” lemma=“improvement%1” sk=“1:11:00::”>improvements</wf> <mwf type=“other” tag=“ignore” lemma=“by_means_of”> <wf tag=“ignore”>by</wf><wf tag=“cf”>means</wf><wf tag=“ignore”>of</wf> </mwf> <wf tag=“auto” lemma=“agricultural%3” sk=“3:01:00::”>agricultural</wf> <wf tag=“man” lemma=“technique%1” sk=“1:09:00::”>techniques</wf> </def> <ex>“We <wf tag=“man” lemma=“raise%2” sk=“2:36:03::”>raise</wf> hogs here”</ex>

  8. Morphosemantic Links • 42,000 morphosemantic links between nouns and verbs. • Preparatory work to link --nouns, adjectives (consul/consular; frequent/frequency) --adjectives, verbs (bright/brighten) --nouns to nouns (king/kingdom)

  9. New Ways of Accessing WordNet • Interlinking of synsets • --belonging to a domain (or topic) • --relating to a geographic region • --with particular usage or grammatical properties

  10. Topical Relations
